Post your band shirts (or patches/patch jackets)

[Serjeant Grumbles]

I've been eager to add more patches to my jacket, but I've been waiting for ever for two separate orders I made at the beginning of September. In fact, I've ordered a second round of patches from depressive illusions in the meantime, and I frankly wouldn't be surprised if this order arrived sooner than either of those.

Starting a new jacket soon, going to try something a little different this time.

Care to elaborate, or do you want it to be a surprise?

I shall, once I'm home on my PC I'll take a photo of the jacket I want to patch up.

I hate when that happens. Was the order just of patches or other stuff? Nothing worse than when an order of just patches takes forever. You can fit those things in a regular ass envelope what's the hold up haha.

Btw, what patches did you order?

The order I made with Nuclear Waste included some shirts as well. However, the order with Astaroth Metal Shop was just patches. The former had just two patches: King Diamond and Manilla Road. I already have a Mercyful Fate patch which I haven't sewn on yet, because I'd like to have that and King Diamond on opposite sides on my rear shoulder area. The latter order had six patches: Angel Witch, Warlord, Tristitia, Summoning, Katatonia, and Septic Flesh.

Generally, I'm going for patches for bands I don't already have a shirt of. There are some exceptions, though. I have a Septic Flesh shirt, but it's not old Septic Flesh. I still enjoy their newer works, but they can't touch Mystic Places at Dawn or Ophidian Wheel.

Patching up with bands/albums you don't have shirts of is a good idea. This is your first jacket yes?

 

[CiG]

So this is the jacket I want to patch up, I'm not really sure what I want to put on it except that I know I want a huge ass Epicus Doomicus Metallicus backpatch.

Indeed.

Once I buy some more thread, these shall go upon my new jacket.
I also have a denim vest to add some patches to but I have yet to buy them, probably from Ebay.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

I miss my vest.

 

[CiG]

Damn that's still so sad man, anybody that messes with another man's vest should be publicly flogged.

Edit: I just realised I haven't purchased a band shirt in like a year.

I came across this gem on tshirtslayer.com recently, and I thought it was a well-designed, aesthetically--pleasing jacket:

 

[CiG]

Great jacket! Especially the choice of patches.

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

I thought you'd get a kick out of it. I like how he put Rammstein in there with all those trad metal bands, almost as an afterthought.

 

[CiG]

I didn't even notice that patch.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

I need to lose another 10lbs or so before I feel comfortable enough to wear my metal shirts.
It's quite annoying

 

[The Butt]

Back is nearly done, will post a pic of my patch jacket thus far when that happens. Problem is I get frustrated a lot and take long breaks between (or mid-) patches.

 

[The Butt]

Back is done.

 

[The Butt]

Front is done. Jacket complete. It didn't turn out half-bad for my first time sewing shit in my life.

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

Some of my patches are coming out a bit cockeyed, even though I pinned them in place. I'm starting to think that guy who suggested fabric glue was on to something, rather than just sniffing the stuff.

 

[CiG]

Sounds like you'd probably just end up with patches glued wonky.

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

But I have the patches straight when they are pinned down; they just get slightly out of whack in the process of sewing them. I don't see how that could happen if they are glued on.
