Metallica Punk/Metal Hybrid "Crossover" battle jacket

Been working on this project for a while and I'm super proud of the result.

PUNK SIDE:
Combination of cloth patches, and hand painted stuff. All sewn with dental floss in true punk style. Accented with cone studs, safety pins, and bic lighter tops for a little extra flair. Had a lot of fun with this one, since I've never done a punk jacket before

METAL SIDE:
Went with classic woven/ embroidered patches on this side with heavy-duty thread. Denim was dyed black, and I added metal spikes and a heavy chain around the side to give it that classic Metal look 🤘

I cut a denim jacket in half and worked on both the sides separately. When they were finished, I sewed it back together and finished it off with the DRI patch across the top joining the two sides together. Really proud of this one.

Let me know what you guys think!!

Like the idea! Though I would have used more smaller patches on the metal backside instead of cutting a patch in half but it still works nicely

Very cool and unique idea! Punk’s not really my thing but this looks killer!

What a concept! Hahaha. If I was at a concert and saw you walk past twice, I would be very confused ahahaha. I like how DRI is the only patch that bridges the gap, since they tend to span both genres of music.

Yeah its a little out there, but I hadn't seen anything like it before so I decided to let my imagination go wild. It also accurately represents me as a person in terms of musical taste, as I love both genres.

And yeah the DRI patch was the cherry on top for me lol
