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.

I always thought these were called patch(ed) denims, never heard Battle Jackets before, sounds like a Manowar thing. Anyway Pagan Altar are playing the pub next door to where I work tonight and there will surely be some of these on show among the attendees, I'll report back!

It seems to have various names http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cut-off
but the metal version is battle jacket
A cut-off, also known as a kutte or "battle jacket" / "battlevest" in heavy metal subcultures, is a type of vest or jacket which originated in the biker subculture and has now found popularity in the punk and various heavy metal subcultures. Biker, metal and punk subcultures differ in how the garment itself is prepared, what decorations are applied, and how this is done.
― pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Friday, 13 September 2013 17:56 (ten years ago) link
Cut-offs are usually made from leather or denim jackets with their sleeves removed, or cut very short, and often adorned with patches, badges and painted artwork that display motorcycle club affiliations known as colors,[1][2] or alternatively band names, political affiliations, beliefs or sexual acts performed.[3]In the 1970s and 1980s, cut-offs were almost always blue denim. Thrash metal fans favored heavily washed denim, while members of one British motorcycle club bleached theirs until they were almost white. From the mid to late 1990s, some punks and metalheads have worn multi-pocketed hunting or fishing vests, both in plain colours and camouflage patterns, and leather cut-offs—always popular with punks, and with bikers in recent decades.The word Kutte (plural: Kutten) is a German loanword which literally references the religious habit of a Christian monk (from the Latin cotta, cf. Engl. coat) but that is also, in a tongue-in-cheek fashion, used for Cut-offs.Punk and hardcorePunk kutten are often made from leather and heavily decorated with metal studs.In punk subculture, cut-offs are often leather (but can also be denim). Typical decorations are metal studs and badges (often painted-on) of bands or political causes, with cloth patches being secondary, ultimately because of the difficulty of doing the required needlework on tough leather. In addition, sleeves are more likely to be kept attached to the body of the jacket. As part of the DIY philosophy of the hardcore punk scene, the vests may be home-repaired with heavy thread, dental floss, or safety pins, and the band logos may be put on using paint and crude home-made stencils. Some wearers also drape chains or other paraphernalia from the vest.Heavy metalA pair of typical heavy metal / hard rock fans proudly wearing and discussing their "battlevests".Cut-offs in the heavy metal scene are often adorned with patches of logos and album covers of bands, ranging in size from small square patches to large patches that fill the back panel of the vest. Patches are the main decoration; however, some Heavy Metal kutten have studs on them, particularly for fans of crossover hardcore-metal bands such as mid-1980s Discharge or of thrash metal.

― André Ryu (Neil S), Sunday, 25 June 2017 20:49 (six years ago) link
looks like someone follows this thread (one of my ILM faves it has to be said).
"BATTLEJACKET # 1 is an independently-produced, limited-edition photographic magazine, with 50+ colour pages dedicated to the art of home-made heavy metal denim. Shot on location at metal gigs in London over 2016 and 2017 by Justin Quirk and published by NO UFOs. Plus the Patron Paperback level."
an extra if you pay over a certain level for a book re Glam Metal :

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?
