update of my 4th vest. All vintage patches, no remakes.
Still need some studs or logo-patch (maybe vintage stripe patch( I think about maiden piece of mind strip) ) on the top of the backside.
nah, man.. I'm really disappointed about patch-business today. I bought all my patches for few euros each. And I prefer trading, not selling. Heavy Metal is not commercial thing, so I dont like what's going on today. I see, that some people searching vintage patches for cheap and selling after for high. Fuck them..
Thanks bro!!!
In my country many outlaw bikers wearing swastikas. But if you wear some soviet simbols - you are dead... or almost dead. We had very bad experience with soviet occupation :/
Overall both symbols is forbidden by my country law.

yeah, killer band. Especially 80s Huw Lloyd-Langton (RIP) era. Was killer space atmosphere guitar solos.

one of the few vests that ive seen without a backpatch that looks really good!
Valinskas on
thanks! Backpatches uses a lot of space (but yes - vest with backpatch looks better), so I can not sew lot of patches on backside.

where have you been few years ago? In 2008-2010 these patches on ebay cost about 10-12 euros :)

Unique vest and I bet if you were to sell off your patches one by one again, you could easily finance your next car with the incoming revenues :)

That's the spirit that should prevail!

Brilliant words!
I am really impressed both how you treat all this patch collecting and how much you know about them!
Very cool jacket, both collection of patches and the layout itself.
Although I would never risk wearing that Reichsadler pin, especially in Eastern Europe.

Hehe, I was once thinking about buying Soviet flag woven patch just for fun, but now I can see that this is not a good idea at all. :D
Can completely understand why Soviet symbols are not welcomed at all.
