I "inherited" this kutte, which began my interest in German thrash metal. Had a few original patches, like the Exumer backpatch- which may be drawn on, the Rage, Running Wild, Grave Digger and Iron Angel....also some cryptic signatures on it, which are partially covered now- one batch appears to be Morbid Angel.
I added and continued the theme of exclusively germanic thrash metal as I proceeded to listen and get to know these bands- which I loved as I went, prior I really only knew 'metallica/slayer' type stuff (saw Justice for All tour in '88). Anyway, went to a Kreator/Overkill show last year and got all members of Kreator to sign back corner of this kutte.
Never had a kutte as a kid, well now I do, better late than never bitches!

ding ding ding stiopa you are right. In the interest of honesty, that IS the jacket you saw on ebay, I bought it. I stated that I "inherited" the jacket, basically 'cuz I didn't want to get a boatload of shit from people about how I got it.
I dont' thnk the Iron Angel is a DIY, except for the very top of the letters, that is stitching for the letters and the border. Either that, or someone went to a hell of a lot of time to do that. The Exumer- it does appear to be drawn, a VERY good job if I do say.
I looked and looked for a kutte, but I didn't want a "new- made to order" kinda job, just seemed weird/fake. This one- I emailed the seller, and he got it from an estate sale, that's all he knew. Got it in 2/13, think I paid $60 bucks for it. It is very old, no doubt, the Grave Digger and Running Wild patches are visibly worn, also the Exumer and Iron Angel. Funny, the guyz from Kreator thought it was a very interesting kutte.
I added all the other stuff, carefully picked out from , yes ebay, also other heavy metal sites from Germany, Greece, UK, south america somewhere- if I recall Venezuela? Some from US.
Dont remember monowhisperer where I got the d.e.v.o.l.u.t.i.o.n. patch......
Anyway,,,, thats the hx of this kutte, it is got battlescars and such, the jean jacket brand is "Young Lion" I never even heard of that brand. Can only think what shows it may have been to...haha, I have taken it to- Kreator, Overkill, Exodus, Anthrax and Hatebreed so far....
Amazing how hard it is to find an old kutte to have or work on, they appear, as I certainly understand, to be treasured possessions.
My jean jacket back in the day was not kutte style, although I always have loved metal music, my jacket simply had a huge sparkling reefer leaf on the back- such were my priorities back then lol
