Iron Maiden - Dedication Jacket nr. 1

Heavy Metal ChemistMon, 24/04/2023 - 22:58

It took a while to produce, but I finally finished my Maiden dedication jacket 🤘😄🤘 The back might be familiar to some of you because I uploaded that one a long time age, but decided to make a minor change.
The front has a bunch of cool prism pins 🤩 and most notably a cut out of the Run to the Hills mini back patch* I think it looks cool 😎
On the right side I gave my front pocket flap some 'earrings' 🤘😄🤘 which were made out of some old pendants.

* Cut out from a patch in a terrible condition.

Thanks mate! Maiden will always stay my favorite band, and this will surely not be my only dedication jacket 🤘😄🤘

Great job man, I especially love the pins and pendants and the "Run To The Hills" shape, is it cut from a BP?

Heavy Metal Chemist on Tue, 25/04/2023 - 20:51

Thanks buddy 🤘😄🤘 The jacket was really not the same without the pins en pendants. I really think they completed the jackets.

Yeah, the Run to the Hills is a cut out from the vintage mini BP (https://tshirtslayer.com/patch/iron-maiden-run-hills-mini-back-patch). I had one which was very beaten up and the with some tears, holes and a really messed up logo. I had many occasions in which I was thinking of ditching the patch because it was worthless, but I'm happy I decided to keep it and made a cutout for this jacket 🤘😄🤘

Top stuff mate, really nicely laid out with a lot of thought and care clearly put into it overall 🤘 Great job on the mini back patch and a neat idea to have 80s on one side of the front and mostly 90s on the other 🔥

Heavy Metal Chemist on Tue, 25/04/2023 - 20:54

Thanks for your kind and supportive words mate 🤘😄🤘 I like it that you spotted the 80's and 90's side in terms of patches. I'm very excited about the jackets and I can't wait to wear it. Makes me very excited to make another dedication jacket, but I think that one will feature a few more rarities 🔥🤘🥵🤘🔥

You're welcome mate 🙌 I spotted that straight away because it was clear you had put a lot of thought into the design 🤘 That next dedication is already reserving it's parking space in my favourites haha! ⚔️

Worth it's weight in gold! I'm loving those killer old pins that you've coming across... so damn cool and of course they go perfectly with the patches of the same era.

Heavy Metal Chemist on Wed, 26/04/2023 - 08:46

Thanks for the compliment mate 🤘😄🤘 The pins are really the cherry on the pie. When I started collecting I completely ignored them, but now I believe they are a must have for a great jacket 🤘
