Bang Classic/ Rock Jacket

Cosmoblaze
Sun, 15/10/2017 - 07:15

After over a year of hunting down patches, this is what I ended up with.

All of the bands are from late 60s to early 80s and it's a mixture of Folk, Psychedelic Rock, Hard Rock, Progressive Rock and Heavy Metal bands.

I might add more patches in the future but I will get more pins for sure.

Sorry about the lighting. Took these pictures on my phone.

love your blue oyster cult pin... i was thinking of making a classic band jacket too, but mostly wanted to make it for my mom

Thanks haha.

They might still have one on sale on eBay.
That's really awesome, I say do it. I bet she'll like it! After all it was them who got us into rock n roll. Lol

DarkValkyrieofDeath's picture

yeah, i like a lot of my moms music, hardest part would be picking a backpatch cause shes a huge metallica and queensryche fan so idk which to pick

5
Cosmoblaze's picture

Oh snap, she likes Queensryche? That badass lol. If pick that as the backpatch. Metallica would be a great as a large logo patch in my opinion. Maybe she can tell you what's better for her.

DarkValkyrieofDeath's picture

yeah i was leaning more towards the queensryche as a backpatch, she really likes operation mindcrime so maybe that one, but i grew up with her mostly playing queensryche and metallica on the stereo or in the car when i was young

Cosmoblaze's picture

I've never given Operation Mindcrime a listen but I did like The Warning a lot. It reminds me a lot of Maiden.

You should definitely do it. Can't wait to see that jacket of hers.

DarkValkyrieofDeath's picture

my favorite queensryche song is I dream in infrared, but they have a lot of good songs, i agree that they are maidenish and yeah i will def upload it when i get around to making it

Thanks boss! It took me a long time to get that bad boy haha. It's a great band.

Nater90's picture

Most welcome! I would imagine so, Don't see much official merch up for sale because people don't want to let the gems go!! Agreed.

5
Cosmoblaze's picture

Most are too hard to find...and can be very expensive especially for those who don't have too many patches and pins. I was only able to buy them. Haha

Nater90's picture

True that man!

Yeah man! Sir Lord Baltimore is simply badass.

I love this. This is exactly the sort of jacket that I like. Nice one man. I really dig the Iron Butterfly bagde

5
Cosmoblaze's picture

Thanks dude. Iron butterfly was the first Psychdedelic band I got into as a kid.

Some great bands on here, nice jacket.
Standard five flames for UFO!

Cosmoblaze's picture

Thanks dude! I love UFO. Heavy Petting is one of their best IMO. I've seen your UFO collection it's really cool. A lot of shirts I could of gotten my hands on haha.

MetalBrewer's picture

It’s my personal favourite!
Great, great band. I follow them all over the UK, met them a few times and they’ve always got time to talk.
I’ll have to see if Schenker is the same next month!

5
Cosmoblaze's picture

Aww dude, Schenker is a legend! He's coming the beginning of next year and I'm excited for that. Sadly I never had the chance to talk to Phil since he was with another fan but Andy Vince, Rob and Paul were all pleasant to talk to.

Definitely stay alert man, it will be worth it to finally get the opportunity to meet him.

Great stuff, especially that dope Hawkwind backpatch! Is Bang vintage?

5
Cosmoblaze's picture

Cheers dude!
About the Bang! patch, it's not vintage. I found it custom-made on eBay. It was the only patch from that bands so I figured, "why not?" haha.

Jævel's picture

Love it.

Cosmoblaze's picture

Thanks man!

Jævel's picture

Thanks for inspiration man! I've also made myself a "classic" jacket now. I've actually got the same bang and sir lord baltimore patches as you!

5
Cosmoblaze's picture

I noticed man. I saw really cool bands there too. Glad you like it! I had to make a few adjustments though so I'm going to have an update on it.

NocturnalOccultist's picture

Wow this looks like it came out of a London gig in the 70s!

5
Cosmoblaze's picture

Hahaha Cheers dude!!!

Bolthorn's picture

straight to favorites.
awesome concept

Cosmoblaze's picture

Thanks for your feedback dude. I have a few more patches on their way so this jacket will have a new look the next time I post this. =)

Doomgarlic's picture

Very nice, something of it's own. I really like these more sparsely covered vintage style jackets. The pins and the backpatch are especially nice. Pretty nice symmetry for both patches and colour as well - Not an easy thing to pull of when working with something that's not a quilt!
Which were the hardest things to track down?

5
Cosmoblaze's picture

Not gonna lie dude. Took me about 3 years to get the patches and to think of the layout. I had to think thoroughly where each was going to go. As for for the patches, none were particularly difficult. Maybe Thin Lizzy but even then that didn't take long to get.

DarkSegno's picture

Very nice! The pins and the Uriah Heep patch are especially awesome!

Cosmoblaze's picture

Thanks man. More patches are being added.

Cheers for the rec!

What does the copyright say on the bottom of the Iron Butterfly pin? Too sick man

Cosmoblaze's picture

Thanks man!

Don't see anything else. It's just the glare.

TopShotta's picture

What you mean? And looking closer I see 2007 now

Cosmoblaze's picture

Fixed the typo. I meant to say I didn't see it. But looking at my badge, you're right. It says 2007 Iron Butterfly.

Sarosxx's picture

Bang, Iron Claw, Hawkwind, Eloy, only good Bands!

5
Cosmoblaze's picture

Thanks! Its definitely getting a new look though. I removed Bang and Iron Claw for another jacket that I'm almost done with.
