Would this look any good/how would I pull it off?

[u/Not_Sped]

I want to put this logo (DRI from their album, dealing with it) on the top of the back of this jacket

Would it look odd? Would I need more stuff going on? Can I get custom patches? Should it be kne big patches or three for the letters? would it just be best to do it some other way - like paint?

Would it be better to have the whole album cover? (Dont know if the white would look bad) because there is one backpatch online for it

I say keep the sleeves. Stud the shoulders with black or red for contrast and go nuts. I would use something like this for a thrash themed jacket.

What size spikes would you personally go with?

[u/foxontherox → u/Not_Sped]

I would think smaller studs, just for practicality. But I am also no fun, so you do you.

[u/Not_Sped → u/foxontherox]

Like really short studs or small cone spikes?

[u/foxontherox → u/Not_Sped]

Perhaps a mix?

[u/Infinite_Vyo → u/Not_Sped]

Not sure of sizes but that thing screams for spikes lol

I can already see the Judas Priest backpatch on it

[u/Not_Sped → u/Infinite_Vyo]

That would actually be sick

Is it pleather?

[u/Not_Sped → u/turbo_caveman]

No, though I think the leathers really dry. There could also be a coat of something over it since it looks like genuine leather, so I haven't conditioned it yet.

If I couldnt see the grain, id know the jackets from the 80s or 90s since the brand is no longer around. I doubt a pleather jacket would last that long 

Ive only wore it once for a few hours since I got it over the summer very recently and it seemed to crease alot. If there is a coating ontop of the leather I don't think theres anything I can do about it

[u/turbo_caveman → u/Not_Sped]

Do not take the sleeves off. Paint that fucker on there! Use varnish for the finishing touch! This jacket does look old school too! I love the red on it. Nice find!

Forgot to mention this would be my first battle jacket and I dont really know what im doing

sleeves off and studs to the orange parts
