This is my battle jacket! I started with the Led Zeppelin patch on the front sometime in 2011, the HammerFall back patch was sewn on in 2013, and then the rest came later over time. I wanted to pick bands that I felt were my favorites in every subgenre of metal, plus a couple classic bands. Then I added some patches and buttons for things I like that aren't necessarily music. For the most part I went with a red theme, with one major exception, the blue patch that reads "STRACHAN". That belonged to my uncle, who was in the Air Force and whose last name I share. He didn't pass away or anything, I just thought it'd be cool to add.
