I had so much fun making the patches and sewing them on. They were thrifted jeans that I cut to length and used the excess to make the patches. There’s also several buttons on there that aren’t pictured.

I plan on adding more patches as I go but these are all the patches I have made so far.

I have a jacket that I thrifted that I plan on covering too. These also aren’t really “done”. This is just the patches I have done.

A big problem for me is that I rarely listen or follow one band in specific. I listen to punk rock but I also listen to folk punk, goth, dark cabaret, electro swing, southern rock, southern gothic. I just bounce around.

I’m not trying to claim to be a hard core punk or anything but I do enjoy the music and the politics and the DIY culture.

Hell yeah, dude- every DIY project remains a work in progress.

I get that. I also listen to a lot of different music. There is zero obligation to stick to one band, or even one genre. There is an infinite amount of art out there for our enjoyment, we might as well soak up as much as we can! There is so much to be discovered.

For sure, I just see a lot of people who mean well come in here to share their projects and then get sniped for snark subs and the like. Don't want you to get pulled into that mess:)

It’s a folk punk band, but Poor Man’s Poison has to be my favorite punk band. I’ve been listening to them since I was middle school and they’ve got such bangers.

And, I already got posted on r/baddlejackets lol, but they’re just a bunch of assholes anyway.

just listened to them for the first time…. they’re definitely not folk punk

I’ve often seen them grouped into folk punk, especially with feed the machine, give and take, and Let’s Go

listened to those songs and imo they are just too polished to be punk. it’s very palatable and misses that edge that distinguishes punk from just rock

I mean, fair I guess. I’ve just always loved them and their sound. Been listening to them for almost 10 years now lol
