What things other than patches have you seen or added to your own jacket?

Morbid_WelshmanWed, 14/01/2015 - 21:28

Other than patches/studs/spikes etc. What have you added to yours, or seen on other's jackets?

LifeOfDeath on Wed, 14/01/2015 - 22:29

I have sewn upside down cross on my denim jacket and Mjölnir on my leather vest. They're pendants.

PForx on Wed, 14/01/2015 - 23:31

I used to have a chain and a reindeer antler bottle opener on my old vest.

bls-georg-pantera on Thu, 15/01/2015 - 00:53

I've sewed to one of my jackets a couple of teeth and bones to it

Brutal!

stenchcore massive on Thu, 15/01/2015 - 15:35

I've always added the metal bits off lighters to my clothes, and sometimes the ringpulls/tabs from cans.

Morbid_Welshman on Thu, 15/01/2015 - 22:26

I once saw a Punk with a jacket that has lighter tabs along every edge possible on their jacket; Must've been a pain in the arse to do!

gizter on Thu, 15/01/2015 - 22:40

i love how that stuff looks. but i dont smoke so yeah. kinda no point in doing that.

gizter on Thu, 15/01/2015 - 18:38

once seen a crusty with one of those survival fork/spoon things hanging from his jacket. aswell as a bottle opener, flashlight. and some other stuff.

bottle openers and stuff are pretty common. but that fork was just odd. still wondering, does he really eat with that?

Morbid_Welshman on Thu, 15/01/2015 - 22:19

All hail the mighty spork! Now that is a strange one...not a bad idea for festivals, where cutlery is hardly up there with the priorities :L

gizter on Thu, 15/01/2015 - 22:47

haha, thats true, but why was it hanging from his jacket. isnt it bette idea to keep it somewhere less dirt attrackting.
the first thing that went through my mind when i saw it was ''i'm going to get stabbed in the pit'' ;)

Morbid_Welshman on Thu, 15/01/2015 - 23:50

You'd think so...or maybe he was simply paying homage to the almighty spork! :o I've been hit by a flying dildo in a pit...guess that's not as bad as being stabbed :L

stenchcore massive on Tue, 20/01/2015 - 23:31

I always carry "survival" cutlery stuff with me, though hanging it off your jacket is kinda dumb haha. I cant talk, i wear loads of shit round my neck such as my lighter, a sharpening stone, memory pen, bike key and once even a folding spork. ;)

Morbid_Welshman on Wed, 21/01/2015 - 01:15

I did once see someone at a Festival with a key ring on their jacket full of those plastic forks you get from take-aways...fuck knows what that was about, hahah :L

RavenEffect on Thu, 15/01/2015 - 16:25

I have a super bock patch (portuguese beer) and would love to have a big He-Man patch as well. I find them fun

Morbid_Welshman on Wed, 21/01/2015 - 01:12

I'm sure I've seen a He-Man patch for sale somewhere...if I remember, I'll let you know :)

Hárbarðr on Thu, 15/01/2015 - 21:58

I have some bottle caps, but that is about it (though adding a bottle opener seems like a very good and practical idea).

cambotero on Thu, 15/01/2015 - 22:33

not in my vest but in my leather jacket there's a Pearl drum key for tunning, just in case :3

Morbid_Welshman on Wed, 21/01/2015 - 01:11

You never know ;)

Queen Catsie on Mon, 19/01/2015 - 20:53

A few picks, I had a chain but took it off, I have a few spikes, and I'm on the fence about adding a bottle opener. I also carry a swiss army knife in an inside pocket I made, if that counts

NIGHTRIDER on Mon, 19/01/2015 - 21:38

The funniest things were a bunch of human teeth I had sawn hanging from the collar - it was back in the late 80 's - I went to my dentist and he had a jar full of teeth he pulled from patients over time on a shelf - I asked if I could buy a few off him, he said: "Hell no, you can have them for free" - so I took them, drilled them with a 1.5 mm drill and hung a bunch from the collar of my cutoffs.

PForx on Tue, 20/01/2015 - 16:25

Hahaha, wtf

stenchcore massive on Tue, 20/01/2015 - 23:30

Morbid_Welshman on Wed, 21/01/2015 - 01:10

Now that's right up there with the bizarre, hahah :L

DukeThylacine on Sun, 22/10/2017 - 20:32

Brutal

trollhammaren666 on Tue, 20/01/2015 - 08:53

I have some non band related patches, just like badass looking shit I found on etsy like wolves and spider patches. also a ton of comedic pins (Tim & Eric for myself), cat pins.... uhhhh just shit that interests me

Morbid_Welshman on Wed, 21/01/2015 - 01:09

I plan on including Beavis and Butt-head in mine somewhere; Most important Music critics of all time!

Judas Priestess on Tue, 20/01/2015 - 16:46

I have a couple of bondage rings on mine.

BlueDemon on Wed, 21/01/2015 - 00:50

I've got a bottle opener and a bear claw on mine.

Lyx on Wed, 21/01/2015 - 23:56

Mostly blood, booze and dirt haha

PForx on Thu, 22/01/2015 - 08:55

Oh, and of course there was the guy on here who had the facial skin of some sort of canine on the shoulder of his leather jacket.

Nater90 on Thu, 22/01/2015 - 09:46

That be a coyote!

darling_decay on Thu, 28/09/2017 - 14:08

I think that's the most metal thing I have ever seen

DukeThylacine on Sun, 22/10/2017 - 20:35

Agree! Damn that would be cool to see in person.

ThrashLikeIts86 on Thu, 22/01/2015 - 18:39

Just a bottle opener, some extra bullets from my belt, a safety pin, and I always add my lighter tabs when I use them, nothing too out of the ordinary.

Morbid_Welshman on Sat, 24/01/2015 - 00:05

Oh yeah, two Mercedes hood ornaments hanging from the back is another thing I saw at Bloodstock a few years ago; Real Nelson Muntz stuff, hahah :L

Erin1029 on Mon, 02/02/2015 - 18:07

Festival wristbands! They started going abit manky as I'd worn them for about two years and had been having baths with them on

DukeThylacine on Sun, 22/10/2017 - 20:37

Besides patches, spikes and studs I usually see beer bottlecaps, which I also plan to add on my vest.
I've seen someone from this site put animal fur (don't know if real or not) on a shoulder of his vest.

DarkValkyrieofDeath on Sat, 28/10/2017 - 23:12

id love to have festival wristbands, but i havent gone to any festivals... i have a pin from my grandmas work on the collar of my jacket because i used to go there alot when i was a kid and i have it so i can remember her and cause she helped me with the backpatch on my vest :')

Vampi1013 on Sun, 29/10/2017 - 02:23

Met a really cool dude at a show recently who had an amazing vest - wish I’d taken a picture. He actually had a foam beer coozie sewn on the front. Because why not? I collect pins - dark/occult style stuff, have a few of those on my vest.
