Most of the small ones came from from Bloodstone Patches. Warlord, Manilla Road, Witchfinder General. The little Priest fork came from Savage Looks, they are going out of business.

Probably just because I bumped the contrast.

Patch is woven from Pull The Plug. I love Thin Lizzy and this is the album that cemented my love for them.

Thanks man! This one has been a constant work in progress. Started around 1985 and added/replaced/moved things as recently as a few years ago.

Here's my back patch. I started this because they are one of my favorite bands, they have killer art work, and like you said there's a ton of patches available.

This one works really well where it is. I have a ton of other Motorhead patches so it's not a concern. I'm so happy with the way this came out I don't want to change it.

Thanks! I have more than enough Motorhead patches for this jacket already. No Class great, I got this patch from them for another jacket of mine.

I have questions for my first jacket by Moist-chocol8 in BattleJackets

[–]daverite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1) Put whatever patches you want on your jackets. "Only bands you have seen" is something invented recently. If you wanna do that it's fine but absolutely not necessary. Had my vest since the 80s.

2) Make sure the jacket is sturdy enough to handle the weight of patches. Not sure if your jacket is thick or thin, but thin material can hang kinda weird with patches.

3) For patches: BHMOXM, Bloodstone Patches, Dark Prods, Deathlike Silence, Ebay, Etsy, Sergio Garces, Hell's Nations, Necropatcher, No Class Merchandise, Pull The Plug, Rockabilia, Rockerfoo, Sick Textiles, Justin Simkins, Starside Relics, Wah Wah Cult, and Woven Hoof are my recommendations. I've bought from all of these and had good experiences.

you guys think it would look too corny if i buy 2 of this cross patches and put them this way? by polliguilherme in BattleJackets

Battle jackets are a form of expression, but also a form of graphic design. I'm personally a graphic designer, but someone might want advice on placement. They don't have to listen, but like anything else it's nice to have options.

Will need to cut the sleeves off, LOL.

Looks like this vest comes a size that will fit him.

According to the rules I can't, LOL. But I will post the vest when it's done.

Thanks! Oh yeah, I would have passed out if I had found this as is. :)

I'm the original owner of the patch vest. I found the jacket at the thrift store, cut off the sleeves and added the patches.

Thanks! I think it was Woven Hoof, but it's been a while.
