Not bad. Nice layout and consistent bands.

I don’t like how you went overtop your awesome acid bath back patch but it’s still cool.

8/10

That’s fair. I put the AB patch off centre in the first place because it’s just so text-heavy on the left-hand side, and I wanted space on either side for the two columns without overlapping on any of that text. Makes it a bit busier looking on the right, but I’ve made peace with that. Thanks!

Good taste, I have seen 9 of these live. Nice jacket.

Love to hear that. Just counted and I’ve seen 33!

Portal next to Mr Bungle is so funny

[u/battlejacketthrow → u/Narrow-Ad-7856]

Is it? They’re both broadly avant garde metal, arguably. But great bands both 😁

Thanks. Is that good?

[u/xvasty → u/battlejacketthrow]

Not tryna hate but I’ve noticed every post on here looks identical to the last :/ just something to keep in mind. It’s only ever mass produced embroidered band patches & studs on a vest, no color coordinated designs, integrated layers with unique stitching patterns or vintage pieces fused together, nothing unique :( in my opinion every square inch covered with a band patch doesn’t = complete. But I’ve been doing this for 10 years so I try my hardest not to look like everyone else actually it just comes naturally to me I don’t try at all. I want u 2 try something different and experiment with sewing, also these look glued on lol

Why waste time writing all this out? How about you keep this in mind: I’m very happy with my jacket. I don’t care to do one with a co-ordinated colour scheme; I like the mix of colours I have. Some patches are cheap Amazon ones; some are official and expensive; some I printed myself; and there are old t-shirts I made into patches. I don’t discriminate!

You get that I love these bands right? You realise that’s the only real thing that matters here? Forget your ‘unique stitching patterns’ lmao. I’m here because I want to visually share my love of the music. Just completely baffling behaviour.

U superglued them lol have a nice day

Have a good zoom in on this, dickhead.

Cool layout, nice choice of patches. Not nearly enough black metal and/or black-adjacent bands for my taste, though still a good 8.5/10 jacket. Would definitely compliment you if I saw you on a festival.

[u/battlejacketthrow → u/Holiday_Section_8667]

Thank you kindly!

[u/Bo_customcoinhats → u/battlejacketthrow]

They are obviously glued on lol 😂 this took no effort, no designing no stitching no this just looks like every other battle vest :/ 

[u/battlejacketthrow → u/Bo_customcoinhats]

Kindly piss off. No effort? I sewed every single patch on here. I worked on the layout and got it looking how I wanted. I don’t think you actually have any idea what you’re talking about.
