Iron Maiden Cut off - Work in progress

As the title says - its work in progress. Just got the main central strip down the back finished, now looking for inspiration for the free areas down the left & right sides. Do I keep space between patches or go for a cluttered overlapping style? Bought a large transfer Motorhead patch and hand embroidered over the top of it to give it a more unique personal look. I made the two Five Finger Death Punch patches myself as the band doesn’t sell patches. So overall it’s starting to take shape.

Front has patches on pockets only and the rest is slowly filling up with mainly vintage Motorhead & Iron Maiden pin badges as and when I find them for sale on various websites.

Cut off is a modified repro camo jacket that was 2 sizes too small for me (it shrunk in the wash honest!) First I cut off the arms and then unstitched the sides all the way up to the armpits. I then stitched two panels made up from the sleeves (cuffs removed) and Velcro strips into one edge of the unstitched sides. Lastly I put in eyelets down the open sides and laced them up with 4mm elastic cord and stitched the removed cuffs into the bottom of the sides as tabs.

Would like some feedback Cheers.
