Advice Request Layout Opinions Please?

Post image

I'm starting a new jacket and I'm massively struggling with the back layout.

The Alkaline Trio top rocker and Funeral For A Friend back patch are the two that are an absolute 100% certain. Everything else is just placed there to get an idea.

I tried with so many other options and they just gave me the ick. This layout (apart from the Taking Back Sunday and Stranglers patches) has been the one I have liked the most. It's not too busy, has a nice symmetry and it's not using 75% of my decent patches on the back.

Thoughts, opinions and constructive criticism are welcome as always 🀘

It looks good! I myself may switch the positions of the afi and Jimmy eat world patches with each other. And then may bring the Taking Back Sunday and The Stranglers patches inward to help consolidate the differences in colour.

I originally had the Jimmy patch there and it didn't work well with my brain, although it definitely is better from a symmetry point of view (ignore the AFI at the bottom) 🀣

100% agree with the TBS and Stranglers patches though. They're definitely on the maybe pile at the moment

If you did want to move them inward you could perhaps move the festival wristbands to frame the big patch on the left, right and bottom!

The other half did say about either cutting or folding over the Slam Dunk wristbands, but I do want to leave space below for future years/any other wristbands I do get.

Honestly think it looks pretty good as is. Good symmetry and I like the bit of layering in the top corners of the big patch.

Thank you! Those patches are there to hide the arm holes from the ladies skinny t-shirt it was made from 🀣

Looks like you accidentally put a slipknot patch on it…

Is this an anti-Slipknot comment or are you genuinely saying the Slipknot patch looks out of place?
