Iron Maiden My first Battle Jacket

MetalmateTue, 18/06/2013 - 13:36

My parents were cleaning up the closets...

And found my first denim jacket with my very first (back) patch ever!
I remember buying it at our local market and it came on a sheet of paper.
To get it on there you had to place it on the iron board face down and then carefully place your jacket on the "patch". After ironing you could (if all went well) peel of the paper sheet and voila! a backpatch is born hahaa.

Later I covered it with a "real" backpatch and a few patches on the sleeves and such. Those got transferred later to another jacket when this one became too small (I was 13).

I actually tried it on for fun but I didn't fit. So to observe the difference I placed them on top of eachother. Granted my new one is slightly big it's still fun to see the difference and well... how I actually never grew up hahahahah

Up the irons!! (and iron boards)

Looks really great(albeit faded) for a transfer print that been on the back of a jacket for several years.
