Rover's 1st vest (18 October 2011 Update)

Owner:

Categories:

At 46 I finally realized that I was missing this in my life. Been headbanging since 1980 and had collected some patches, but never got around to doing anything with them. Found this site and realized I needed to get my ass in gear and get my Kutte made. Bought the jacket off ebay from TX (where I grew up and went to my 1st concert). Some patches were given to me by some other metal friends, then went on a buying spree over the last month. Then been sewing them on like an obsessed Metal Head. I've got a couple of more on order, but this is pretty much the state of things as of June 2010. It will get it's public viewing at the M3 festival in Baltimore in 2 weeks. I know it is not trash, grind, black, punk, etc... BUT it is the shit I listen to.

11 Sep 2010 - Updated with new images. Have added a few patches, chains, junk and about 45 new buttons.

04 Oct 2010 - Added the Alice Cooper patch, Lynyrd Skynyrd patch, the front side Motorhead patch, Pink Floyd patch, the Kings X bottle opener.

10 Oct 2010 - Added the Roger Waters - The Wall pin.

14 Nov 2010 - Added Thin Lizzy, another Raven, Parental Advisory, another Judas Priest, Sammy Hagar, Kid Rock, Casket, Hearse, Skull patches. Added more studs and put all of the pins back on.

24 Apr 2011 - I've added Fastway, Ratt, Manowar, Metal Church, Rose Tattoo and Jetboy patches. Also a few more spikes/studs and buttons/pins. Took the Kid Rock off (for now) and replaced it with one of my favorite bands - Rose Tattoo. Thanks to Over-Zone for all of the new ones (except the Jetboy)

31 May 2011 - Added Ozzy, Hard Rock Cafe, UFO, Sabaton, Demon, Molly Hatchett. Moved the Kingdom Come and Rush. Also a few more various buttons, studs, spikes, "stuff". It is now pretty damn close to finished.

18 Oct 2011 - Saw Saxon on the 14th and 15th of October 2011. Had all 5 current members sign the backpatch.

25 Oct 2011 - Image from the 15th of October Saxon show in Baltimore of the 4 Saxon backpatches added.

The Poison, Dokken and Warrant are not sewn on yet. Still not sure I like the placement.

mate im liking that a lot especially the Tesla and Kingdom Come patches

Oldschool As Fuck! :)

Awesome Saxon patches!

looks good

I'm not really into the shaped patches, but they look good on this one

Tight!!! but poison and cinderlla have to go

I agree on the Poison, but keep the Cinderella! Their first album is great!

Cinderella are great! Listen to what you like bro., and ignore all the idiots that tell you what is and isn't "for posers".

Sorry but the Poison and CInderella are gonna stay. Granted as the kutte fills up I may end up taking off 1 of the Poison.

The Nazareth and White Lion (and about 15 others) came from the odd ball souvenir/t-shirt/junk store in Georgetown (basically downtown Washington D.C.). They are all knock off's. Not sure if they had more of either of them. They were only about $3 each. I can look the next time I'm there if you want me to snag them.

btw - the Saxon backpatch came Lenin Imports (lenin@netcomuk.co.uk) and the 3 squares on the front came from ebay - the seller is in AZ and I can dig up his email if you want.

I like it, its totally different. Good stuff. Love the Tesla one. I have the same Savatage one, my girlfriend got it for me when she was on holiday in Florida. Pain in the ass to sew on those shaped patches though.

NICEEEEE! I like the tesla and dokken patch, they look so good.

I dont know about poison, i didnt put any patch from them on my kutte but i have seen them live and they are a very good show, CC deville is one good guitar player.

I recommend only to take off the square patches in the front and put them in the back with the backpatch, and put more shape patches in front.

Good work man

Thanks for all of the feedback. My plan is to add at least 4 or 5 square ones to the front to even it out. Then there is the space above the Priest and Saxon. I'm thinking of the Riot Fire Down Under cover above the Saxon. On the back will probably be mostly squares. I've got a nice Manowar that is on order but not yet arrived.

Went and picked up another 36 studs (that was all the place had in stock) and 10 more spikes. So some new photos. I also added my US Navy collar device, I have the right to wear my anchor!!

Unless any of the 3 patches I have on order arrive this week - this is what it will be for the M3 festival next Saturday.

I came when i saw ur backpatch.

also i give u props for stating bout the bands u really believe in. i cant say i like every band u have on ur vest, but still, that takes balls, especially on a mainly thrash/death website

Kick ass Aerosmith Pin. I have one of those as well. Was lucky enough to catch Aerosmith on that tour. I thought that Crepo was outstanding. People hated him replacing Perry, but he was actually a great guitarist IMO. Rock in a Hard Place is a highly underrated album.

I saw Aerosmith on that tour in San Antonio, TX in December 1982. Opening act was Rose Tattoo. Great show. Bought that pin then, now I have a great place for it. It may move down to next to the Get A Grip patch.

Also a slight update - I've added a Skid Row and another Motley Crue patch to the back. I've also ordered another 4 square album covers from the same guy in AZ that did the square Iron Maiden, Saxon, Exciter patches on the front. I won't tell you what those are until they are sewn on. And I'm still waiting on the smuck who sold me the Manowar patch to finally get it to me. He claims to have mailed it a couple of weeks ago. Glad I did not pay a bunch for it.

Have added a few pins (Metallica, Saxon and another Sammy Hagar) that I found stuffed in a box. All are at least 20 years old.

Also added some new patches - Riot, Scorpions, Triumph, Y&T, AC/DC, Skid Row and another Motley Crue.

Updated with some new images. Still waiting on 4 more patches that are on order, before I sew on the other 4 new ones. The Y&T Patch is signed by Dave Meniketti.

Sweet dude. I like Elvis hidin' up there. You gotta give credit to the King. Like the way you hacked the sleeves off too, too many ppl trim 'em off nice and clean like. Lots of cool pins too- I'm always paranoid to wear pins cuz I think they'll fall off. I've actually lost alot of sweet vintage pins that way.

Nice Raven patches i been looking for it
but can't find an original one

Uploaded new images of the current look. I've added 3 or 4 more patches since last month.

Hungry Mosher - The Raven patch that is on the front was given to me by a friend and I sewed it on prior to the Raven show. The other one I bought at the show, I've not sewn it on yet. My friend may have an extra if you want me to ask him.

Thats cool man Let me know ;)

well this is some sick shit!
really nice...!

pow/mia ? did you loose someone ?

No. But I worked as a photographer with the Office Of The Armed Forces Medical Examiner for 4 years. So lots of work with the dead. Something I never forget.

Updated images. New patches and more studs and pins/buttons added.

wow,very nice jacket man,love the Savatage one,i'm a fan but still a'int got one with them,great patches with Dokken,Triumph,Saxon,Def Leppard.

nice jacket
I love the oldskool look with al those badges
and the bands are great too ofcourse
\m/

nice jacket and Awesome Saxon patches dude

wow! sammmy hagar patch! nice :)

Added Anvil and Krokus (both from Over-Zone), also W.A.S.P. and Girlschool (both from Warhead). Also added an Accept to the front - will upload a photo soon.

Killer Backpatch

Thats epic dude, never - ever give up or give in!!!

mam one of the best jackets of the site, where you find the Maiden Japan patch??

warkultbut​cher@aol.co​m (aka THOMAS MANDILAS) - ensure you tell him where you got his contact info from.

This is the guy in Tempe, Arizona and made the Maiden Japan, Riot, Scorpions, Exciter, Triumph, Y&T, Saxon (on the front). They were fairly cheap to purchase and I'm happy with the quality.

man, thanks a lot, I'm thinking in do a Maiden vest, with a Seventh son of a Sevent son, backpatch, and a lot of Maiden pins, buttons, patches... etc

Y&T

Great Vest, it's awesome to see a vest dedicated to the Hard & Heavy bands as well, my next vest is going to be like this, i already have a beautiful Whitesnake backpatch & some other patches to start it as soon as i can! \m/

Can't wait to see the Whitesnake BP and the rest of your kutte. \m/

That backpatch is killer!

nice Y&T patch. those patches are rare. but im lovin the saxon denim and leather. but cinderella? there to hair metalish. but metal is metal. bad ass jacket \m/

The Y&T is a printed patch a guy in Arizona made for me. It is signed by Dave Meniketti. For me Cinderella is more blues rock than hair metal. Saw them last year and they still put on a great show.

thats pretty cool i like Y&T. and i never thought of cinderelle like that. i just never liked them

Cinderella is worth going back for another listen. The stuff that did not make the radio is probably their best stuff.

sure i'll give em a try but they still wont have nothing on poison as far as hair metal goes though.

Wicked backpatch! And cool Maiden Japan patch!

Denim and leather!

Kid Rock? Really? Oh well, the rest of it makes up for that. Especially the Girlschool patch!

Yep Kid Rock. One of those non-traditional metal acts that I enjoy. He is getting more and more classic rock sounding (Eagles, Bob Seger) with little to no rap stuff. Thanks for recognizing the rest of the metal on there.

I like much more his first stuff....

if he keeps getting softer he is gonna end like bon jovi...

24 April 2011 - Image update. Added patches for: Blue Oyster Cult, Fastway, Ratt, Manowar, Metal Church and Jetboy.

Uploaded new photos - added 6 more patches and some other "stuff". Basically finished - start to finish in 1 year. Glad I've started my 2nd one.

the back patch is epic!
hails

Thanks. Love the band (obvious since I chose it as my BP) and I saw that tour.

so epic!!

5

Epic vest! Where did you get that Demon patch?

Thanks. www.over-zone.com made the Demon and quite a few others on here. She is really easy to work with. Accepts paypal, is cheap, great quality and is damn quick in getting the stuff to you.

Very Cool.Nice collection.we have a lot in common.check out my jacket.

Great jacket man.I like alot of the bands you used.

5

great !

Scorpions - Blackout the best one and also great Saxon backpatch!

5

Hey man you got shitloads of great stuff there! I'm really lovin those Blue Öyster Cult, Rush, UFO, and Scorpions patches! Classic stuff! Instant 5 flames!

kick ass patches. nice to see a metalhead who's into glam AND other types of metal

5

5 flames vest...!!

5

Good job..Is that a Starz button?..hard to see..Did you see my jacket?

It is a Starz button. One day I'm going to work on getting a Starz patch. You pin jacket is insane.

5

One word: AMAZING! not only because of your awesome patches, but also for the Saxon band signatures! :) I wanna see them in a concert before I die!

Definitely: 5 flames!

There's many who tried to prove that they're faster, but rhey didn't last and they died as they tried!

Thanks. Saxon is amazing live. Have been great since the first time I saw them in 81 or 82.

5

A bit crammed in there but all those bands are pure legends ! And the Saxon signatures are legendary !

It is very crammed in there and heavy as shit.
