If you just glue them on they will eventually fall off in the mosh/washing machine. That said, I need to buy some denim and finally start making my vest. I started off with a rule that id only put on patches that I purchase from the band at their shows, but fucking Suffocation didnt have any patches when I last saw them so I might amend my rule a bit. And at that point maybe I should just buy some favorites. I don't know what backpatch I want either (if any at all).
My wife gave me a denim vest for my birthday and I’ve got some patches that I ended up with from gigs, so I’m gonna do it. Just bought a Coroner back patch off eBay.
Yea, but the point of the vest I am trying to make is to support current bands that are touring around in my area that I enjoyed. It will eventually be obsolete, but I want to rep bands ive seen live and enjoyed rather than just my favs when im listening in private. I may start buying shit online, but im definitely going to limit my purchases to bands ive seen live. Which unfortunately excludes an Asphyx backpatch atm (probably my favorite band), but im hoping they eventually come to the east coast in the US - their last tour was west, fuck that.
