My first kutte
My first kutte, some potentially controversial entries on here but it's quite varied and I'm proud of each and every patch, I didn't have a design plan at first and went with whatever I was feeling at the time. The only design-conscious segment would be the front where all prog/power patches are to the left and all death metal patches to the right, the Bloodbath patch didn't print out quite right which is a shame. Ignore those stars on my bed sheet lol.

All badass man! And did you hear about Holy Grail putting that same design on official merch too, its even on a backpatch concidently haha
-
Maybe you'll sell it now!
-
Thanks!
-
Hahaha it actually works! :D It's not the best print ever (I'm not sure how it will do once sunlight, dirt and water get to it) but it's cheap and easy!
-
Giallo Death Metal \m/
-
WHAT?!?! That's ridiculous! HAHA! I'll give that a shot myself.
-
Err... essentially what I did was take some white fabric, tape it to a piece of paper, and print with our home printer hahaha :D
-
What kind of print is it? Transfer, screen print, etc.??? It looks really good.
-
that is awesome
-
I hope so! Getting pretty close to having my whole back layout setup so I can sew it! :D
-
Big horror fan but never saw suspiria(its on my list) I like that BP and vest in general,i think vest with only horror movie patches would be awesome,I never saw something like that.

That's a fucking awesome backpatch.
Hypercube on
You print your own patches? That will save you a lot of money, man. How you do it?
Yea, not a fan of DT but that BP looks freaking awesome!
lak89 on
Thanks man! I didn't print those myself, most of the patches in front are from mad patcher, I've heard about how these patches fade out after a while but I've sprayed some protective coating on them, hopefully they should last longer, its been 3 or so months and no sign of fading has occured :)
lak89 on
And a couple of others from Abyss records, ebay and random sites here and there. So really the only thing thats my own work is the sewing :P
I have to say I dig a lot of those bands, and really you should never let people tell you what to put on/ not put on your vest. it'y YOURS and nobody elses. It looks great and the fact that you made a bunch of those is sick!
Also that's the only, and best dream theater back patch I've ever seen. I feel lucky that I got to see them on their last tour with Mike. My fvorite drummer.
lak89 on
Thanks dude! Yea same here, a shame Mike isn't in DT anymore. That particular back patch took a month and a half to arrive, custom printed in South America haha, I must say the quality is really good! I didn't make these patches, most of the front patches are from mad patcher, from which I've heard fade pretty quickly, I've sprayed protective coating over them, hopefully they'll hold, its been 3 months and they're still alright. I have many spare patches so if need be I can alter my kutte.
whiteravenmetal on
Cool Stratovarius, Motorhead,Helloween, Nevermore, Kamelot, Simphony X, Testamend and Opeth patches, specially that Opeth and Black couds... patches.
HeavyTony on
love the back very much, but the front is too neat and clean for my taste, and i prefer embroidered patches than sceened, but nice work nonetheless
lak89 on
Thanks man! and yes someone else has said that about the front, I'l definitely be mixing it up when I make a second one, or if I choose to replace a couple on the front.
Hahah man your Kamelot patch arrived?
I still don't have mine, nor the SymX patch, but hey I'll pick one up eventually.
Looking good, I reckon the front would look good with some badges and/or studs, which go well on lighter kuttes (kutten?) IMO.
lak89 on
Thanks dude :D. Heh yea mine have arrived, I have an extra Kamelot patch I'll send it over if you want. Yea I will look into studs or badges sometime down the road, at the moment its pretty much set unless any of the patches fade in which case time to replace them!
Don't worry about it man, unless I'm set on using it it won't be worth the postage.
Battleangels91 on
nice choice loving the dream theater back patch
lak89 on
Thanks!
FarFarNorth on
ORIGIN FTW! where did you find that patch?
lak89 on
Yeah man Origin's sick! I had it custom made by Mad Patcher, I've sprayed protective coating on it so hopefully it won't fade.
where u get INVERACITY PATCH dude?
thanks
hiks, if somebody have / want to sell / see this patch, please inform mee :(
lak89 on
Hey there, I had it custom printed as they don't have an official patch, your best bet is probably getting it printed as well.
wow nice work bro
cool patch, i really want it
bayernpirat on
many printed stuff, or?
lak89 on
yeah about half of it is printed. Most on the front except for two are printed, but the back is about 50/50.
HeavyTony on
man, cool mainly prog metal vest, i love how varied it is, but yeah i prefer not printed patches, but your vest is cool
See I personally LOVE prog, alot of haters on this site tho! Great jacket! :)
lak89 on
I'd like to thank everyone for their comments!
Looks good. I really like the shaped Kalemot patch. I don't listen to them, but it just looks cool.
lak89 on
Thanks! Yea that's one of my favorite patches.
lak89 on
I'm thinking of redoing the entire front section to make it more varied genre wise and design wise, I've got a couple of really nice embroidered patches I really don't want to go to waste, ordered a couple more patches and I'll see what I can do with it, I'll upload it once I've made the changes.
the Dark Angel patch is woven?
lak89 on
Yup!
ThrashinRiga on
Nice jacket, what protective coating have you sprayed on patches?
lak89 on
Thanks man, good question, I'll get back to you on that.
It's just some UV-resistant spray isn't it?
Nothing fancy, pick one up at your local hardware store.
lak89 on
Yea just ask for a UV-resistant spray at your local hardware store, I'm sure they're in supermarkets as well.
Blüdrayne on
dude. I painted something on a hoodie with acrylic paint. would such a spray work to prevent it from peeling as well? or should i just use nail polish, like i always have.
lak89 on
I just looked that up on google and the spray and the acrylic paint both have UV resisting functions, but if nail polish does you fine then you might as well just stick to it.
Blüdrayne on
thanks. I'm not so much worried about UV protection as I am about the ability to resist peeling... I'll try with nail polish and hope it works.
Where did you get the Condemned patch?
lak89 on
It's custom printed.
Where did you get that Tool 10,000 Days patch? I haven't seen that thing anywhere... :\
Great kutte, BTW but you should get some patches to overlap with. :)
lak89 on
Oh that is custom printed :). Thanks dude, I have actually done a major update on this kutte, I've replaced every patch on the front, you can check it out if you want.
That entire vest is excellent. Specially that Dream Theater backpatch! Whats the condition on these printed patches? I got some from mad patcher as well and I wonder how these will do over time.
Blüdrayne on
...you're in for a nasty surprise, i hear.
lak89 on
Hey thanks man, I have since redone the entire front and part of the back on this vest, all but 2 of my printed patches on the front have been replaced by woven or embroidered ones. There is some very slight wear on those already but it's noticeable if you examine closely, so with the spray it has held up reasonably well for almost 2 years.
http://tshirtslayer.com/battle-jacket/lak89s-kutte-2nd-update
Wow, some awesome bands on this one! I'm making one kinda similar with a Rush backpatch, and I really envy that Origin patch! I ought to consider getting some patches custom made for myself.
lak89 on
thanks dude! the front of the kutte has gone through a lot of change since then, I'll link you up to the most updated version. Good luck on yours too, I'd love to see it when it's done, you don't see many Rush back patches, are you getting it custom made?
http://tshirtslayer.com/battle-jacket/lak89s-kutte-2nd-update
My Rush backpatch isn't custom made, but it's rather rare. It's actually embroidered and it cost me like $40 with shipping from Argentina! lol It's freaking awesome, I will upload it soon when I have more patches sewn on.
lak89 on
Is it by any chance the "A Farewell to Kings" back patch? I looked it up online and that was the only result I got, oh yea definitely rare as far as I know. My DT back patch was also from South America, but it's not official, it's the only DT back patch in existence as far as I know but I consider myself really lucky to have found it! Looking forward to your vest man.
