I can't remember any particularly idiosyncratic ones. I did drunkenly rate the patches of one guy but can only remember fairly standard things - Maiden, Metallica, Sabbath, etc.

emil.y, Friday, 13 September 2013 17:05 (ten years ago) link

probably Slayer?

or one of these?

not so much a battle jacket as a reflective contemplation jacket

I think an Alfred E. Neuman battlejacket is an excellent idea

looks like someone follows this thread (one of my ILM faves it has to be said).

Has anyone seen a good battle jacket lately?

Thus Spoke Darraghustra (Oor Neechy), Thursday, 15 August 2019 22:39 (four years ago) link

I saw loads of great ones at the King Diamond gig last weekend,

I’m currently making a new battle jacket since my old one from the 90s accidentally ended up in the trash (don’t ask), which has me thinking about some of life’s great questions such as: cut off the collar yes or no? Are studs ever acceptable or trying too hard? Bullet belt on the bottom too much if you already have one on yr jeans?

Siegbran, Sunday, 18 August 2019 09:31 (four years ago) link

There was one dude rocking a black tuxedo jacket with patches.
