My 3rd battle jacket incorporating a mixture of classic rock and metal with contemporary artists. I have been collecting patches for over 10 years, and decided to make a new joacket last year by taking apart my first two jackets (which were falling apart) and buy some new patches to try and fill as much space as possible. I love European style jackets so used them as a lot of inspiration and also wanted to do a black and white front as I thought it looked cool, contrasting with all the colour covering the jacket.
I experimented a lot with patch layering, different stitching to allow all pockets to be fucntional and using studs to try and make something unique
