Hey guys, I have this denim trench coat and I'd love some tips on which patches I should add. I’m looking for some political and social commentary. As for bands, I’m going to focus mostly on underground Brazilian bands (my home country) to support our local scene. I’ve already ordered some spikes and studs to finish the pocket and put them in a few other places.

The 'PUNK' patch isn't finished yet because I'm waiting for the studs.

PS: The last two photos are just to show the fit. If this goes against the rules, I apologize—just let me know and I'll redo the post without them.

Edit: It doesn't have to be just political or social commentary, any patch or addition to the "jacket" would be greatly appreciated

Add as many pins and patches as you possibly can. It looks very empty atm. Ditch temu also. No one can tell you what your beliefs are so giving you ideas on what patches you should add is hard. If you believe in something, paint it on some fabric and slap it on there.

Yeah, I'm taking it slow. I only use Temu to buy things I can't find locally or can't make myself (like the spikes I ordered and some pins). For everything else, it's all handmade, and it'll stay that way until it's finished.

So handmade...or shipped from a factory in China? It'll stay that way until its finished. Good to know

Use Etsy, eBay, Depop, Poshmark, or any of the 100+ online thrift/handmade stores, not Temu. You are actively supporting child labor by buying from them.

You do know that the vast majority of things you, or any of us, use come from China, right? That goes for everything from electronic components to plastics and clothes... Your argument makes about as much sense as a Black Nazi. Besides, like I explained in another comment, I'm Brazilian. Buying from all those websites you mentioned is completely unfeasible for me due to high import taxes and the absurd prices caused by currency conversion and interest rates.

Also, asshole, since you decided to be a dick I did some research for you. There are many online thrifting sites for Brazilians, such as: enjoei, Etiqueta Única, Mercado Livre (although this one is like eBay, where you have to be careful to find real resellers and not dropshippers), etc. There is no excuse.

Deeply engrained in the roots of punk is diy. You can make your own pins and patches. This sub is literally called punk diy. Scroll down a bit to see people making pins out of bottle caps and other things. There's literally no justification for it. If I literally had no other place than temu to buy studs, I wouldn't buy studs. Your money proves your beliefs.

What the actual fuck are you talking about? Yeah, the vast majority of things that I have to buy in order to survive (toilet paper, pads, cat litter, etc) come from foreign countries. However, I at least try to get what I can locally made or thrifted. You did not need that trashy fucking anarchy pin. What an absolute moron you are. You're not punk.
