I know some people may find the combination of crasher crust and industrial music to be odd: however, I have a thematic purpose to mirror where I'm at in life.
The Crust bands are externalized: they name systems, damage, and enemies of the world.
The industrial bands are internalized: they trace how those systems end up in the body and mind.
Same violence, different directions.
I've been working hard on this since before winter! Everything was hand painted besides Sacrilege (cut from a shirt), and Zyanose / Heresy (made from a vinyl transfer by Jaz). The Crow logo was by far the most rewarding.
On top of hand painting the patches, I had to realize the vest about 2 inches on each side, hand sewn twice, then machine sewn for extra security. Then, the front pockets had barely any space, so I cut them out, used some extra flannel to make new pockets big enough to sneak beer around.
The studs kept falling out so, I had to use "liquid stitch" to keep them in place. Then, I thought the inside looked ugly with glue. So, I used a torn up Dissection shirt for the middle and the sides are from an Abigail shirt I had laying around. I would glue the studs then press the shirt into it. (I had to tear it a bit apart to remove some studs when I eventually added Framtid and GISM).

I very like those hand-drawn patches of yours and also the usage of old shirts for the internal rearrangement of your vest.
I personally would like to see more bands on this vest, which are on the Industrial Rock / Metal-spectrum, especially the ones, which are blending Crust Punk and Industrial together like Saw Throat, Zygote or Spine Wrench.

I actually was debating between Zygote and Bastard as my last patch, it ended up being Bastard. I do not know Spine Wrench, will check them out, cool ass name

Spine Wrench was the Industrial Crust side-project from former members of Deviated Instinct, definitely check out their split with Sin, the side-project with members from Nausea NY.

There is also this very interesting read about the Industrial side of Crust Punk in general, which I can really recommend to you:

I cant but respect all those tightly stitched patches with white thread.
My lazy ass would not have the patience for that.
Anyway 5 flames.
