Battle jacket advices

[Korosama]

Hi all !
I'm willing to start my first battle jacket and i would like to ask a few questions to people that have already done one .
First i'm seeing a lot of denim vests with cut sleeves and with a ton of patches , the problem is that i hate how denim looks ; and as a black metal head , i much prefer how black leather looks .
So i was wondering if i can start sewing patches on a black lether jacket with long sleeves or if i will look stupid wearing this .
And if sewing patches in a similar way ( one backpatch and other regular patches spread on the jacket ) will do .
It's my very first battle jacket and i have no idea how to do it propely without putting away my own tastes , thanks !

Don't most black metallers wear patched denim vests over their leather jackets? Don't think I've ever seen a patched up long sleeve leather jacket myself, usually just have pins on them or something.

Do whatever you want. Having patches on a leather jacket looks fine, assuming you've got cool patches like BLASPHEMY and not Children of Bodom...

Although, white paint looks really fucking cool on black leather jackets.

i used to have a leather jacket with black metal patches all over it, lost the thing unfortunately. not sure it looked good though, i have no fashion sense whatsoever.

Just get a leather vest if you don't like the look of denim. It'll look much better than a patched jacket.

have you ever been in a concert with it ?
If so , your jacket must have kept you warm af right ?

a patched leather vest can look just as cool as a denim jacket/vest if done right

do you have an example of a well done leather jacket that i can follow ?

heres a few i found after a quick/lazy search ....

black and white (and maybe some red) is the way to go with leather

EDIT: first one looks to be a black denim vest over a leather jack(like CIG mentioned earlier)

Hi folks! I have a similar question, so I decided to post here. What do you think is this faux leather is OK or real leather is better? I don't want to spend a lot of money on clothing.

get a beat up one from a thrift shop and cut the sleeves off.

 

[CiG]

Get this one.

this^^ thing would be the kind of thing i'd totally wear to the goth club if the yellow part could be changed to blood-red or royal-blue
