About

Tell us about yourself?: 

Scottish, living in Belgium. Mainly into black metal, thrash, doom, classic heavy metal.

Looking for patches mainly. I'm not a serious vintage collector. The important thing for me is the design and the quality. I don't mind bootlegs -- but I won't pay original prices for them.

My wantlist:
- Sindrome Vault of Inner Conscience (or any Sindrome patch)
- Any Sindrome shirt in size small
- Sadus Swallowed in Black, a decent quality woven version, e.g. the 1991 official patch
- Judas Priest Stained Class round red border (NOT the Pull the Plug octagon one)
- Any other rare or unusual Judas Priest patches
- Necronomicon s/t silver glitter with white border
- Pokolgep Pokoli Szinjatek woven
- Аспид Кровоизлияние shaped woven
- Sauron (US) Thrash Assault

And my fantasy dream patches - if you're reading this and you make high-quality woven patches, please consider making runs of these designs!
- POLISH THRASH: especially WILCZY PAJAK/WOLF SPIDER s/t, and OSTATNI WOJOWNIK by Turbo (original cover with the sword and snake).
- Ravenous 'Book of Covetous Souls' - one of the best forgotten thrash bands and a really nice album cover. Brown/yellow/sepia colour scheme is quite unusual and would look cool as a patch.
- Slayer 'Die by the Sword' shaped patch in a SMALL size - we don't all have 11x3 inches of space left on our jackets for this awesome design!
- Diamond Head 'Borrowed Time' album cover, or the Diamond Head logo in black on a plain white background

Customs/import fees to Belgium from outside the EU are EXTORTIONATE, so I massively prefer buying from within the EU if possible.

I prefer buying/selling to trading. Thousands of years ago humans developed a UNIVERSAL medium of exchange, so that you could sell your things without needing to have EXACTLY the right thing that the other guy wants. It was called MONEY and it's been quite successful ever since. I will consider trade offers but in general I prefer to deal in cash...

What's your reason for joining tshirtslayer?: 

Finding out more about rare or cool patches and maybe finding some wishlist patches.

Do you goto any festivals or shows?: 

I mainly go to black metal shows in Belgium. Also sometimes in Central Europe. e.g. Thronefest, Eternal Hate fest, Kaltenbach Open Air.

Favourite album ?: 

Same favourites include Nevermore - Dreaming Neon Black, Iced Earth - Burnt Offerings, Judas Priest - Sad Wings of Destiny, Defenders of the Faith, Destroyer 666 - Phoenix Rising, Destruction - Infernal Overkill
