Metallica 80s Rock Band Battle Jacket ( almost done)

Tshaner07Wed, 13/01/2021 - 07:29

I was a teenager in the best genre ever to rock the face of the earth. I was a huge concert junkie and this Jacket represents all my favorite rock bands from the 80s and a couple from the 70s. All which i have personally had the pleasure of seeing live in concert with the exception of a couple. So many memories are in this jacket. It is hand made. It took me nearly a year and a half to make since i could only afford to purchase one or two patches per payday ( some arent cheap and i was a single mom raising 3 children) there is alot of sweat and tears put into this jacket. It has 51 patches and i still have some arm space for a few more making this the most expensive jacket i've ever owned.

Always happy to see another Triumph fan out there! Fight the Good Fight!

What other patches do you plan to put on it? And yea, most expensive jacket ever, I feel yer pain.

Rik Emmit...the most underrated guitar player alive in my opinion. Long live Triumph. Lol. I i have looked high and low for this one certain patch but have had no luck. Like i said these are all my faves from the 80s and although this band is more soft rock they are still one of my faves. The band is "America" i would like to add them on my jacket as well as Extreme, Tesla, Dokken, Rainbow, Jefferson Starship (70s) and of course Queensryche. Please tell me you have an "America" patch for me. Lol.

Nooope, 'fraid not. Gonna be honest I've never heard of "America." But, Rainbow is fukken awesome~~

Tshaner07 on Thu, 14/01/2021 - 16:17

You would know who "America is jf you heard some of their songs im sure. But yeah Rainbow was another under rated band in my opinion.

Love the jacket! America are a GREAT band.

Thanx. Its nice to hear when someone else besides me appreciates my battle jacket. You rock! Surprised at how many people i have talked to who have no clue who America is..i am on a mission to find a "America "patch.

Anytime! Hear hear.
I know about the band thanks to my pops. We almost saw them live here in California few years ago, but unexpected circumstances let us otherwise. Ebay would be the only option, I was hoping I'd find one myself too. haha.

Tshaner07 on Thu, 14/01/2021 - 08:55

80s music was the best. Wish i could go back in time. I would love to see your jacket.

Always nice to see classic rock jackets. I’m with ya sister.

Tshaner07 on Thu, 14/01/2021 - 09:00

Thanx so much. Glad you liked it. I see alot of death metal and newer band jackets but not alot of classic rock. I wish i could go back in time. That saying time flies is no joke. Its hard to believe my era is considered classic. Lol.

Imaginos on Thu, 14/01/2021 - 07:24

Made this onr for the Mrs.

Tshaner07 on Thu, 14/01/2021 - 09:06

I LOVE this! We have some of the exact same patches and i see some i need. Lol. Please tell me where to find the "America" one. I have looked high and low and even in other counties and cant find a single one. Thats on the top of my list of ones i need. I bet the Mrs. Gets alot of comments when she wears it. I do..its definately a good conversation piece.

Imaginos on Thu, 14/01/2021 - 13:48

The America patch was an Ebay find a few yrs ago. It’s the only one I’ve ever seen.

Tshaner07 on Thu, 14/01/2021 - 16:29

Dang i was hoping you had good news for me. Lol. I think you got the only America patch ever made or sold cuz i have searched and searched and searched til my brain hurt with no luck. Hell i have even considered sending in a pic of their logo and having one custom made. You def got a rare one. If you ever wanna sell it you know who to contact but my advice would be to hold on to that little gem.

Imaginos on Thu, 14/01/2021 - 17:33

LonestarThreadworks would probably make you one for around $10.I had hin make this Starship patch for me.

Tshaner07 on Mon, 18/01/2021 - 00:17

Nice. Thank you sooooo much for the info. Honestly i had no idea where to go for it . i was just gonna google someone who makes patches and hope for the best.
