☠️ Spooky season/horror punk store items currently available. 🎃

Took the time while making this patch to document the process so I can make them more efficiently in the future instead of trying to remember what I did last time 😅

Idk why but I love going back over what I've written/drawn before and reassessing with new my conclusions :)

Hey guys I've got a question for punk/metal tumblr

I want to/am in the process of making a battlejacket/kutte and I was wondering if I'm still allowed to wear and make it even if I don't listen to a lot of punk or metal. The main thing is ik that it's a music based culture and ik some of the main music but it's just not smth i want to listen to a lot so idk what to do

any advice is greatly appreciated!

A patch I made for my vest.

Maybe I'm just a snowflake but there aren't many artists whose entire discography I know well enough that I feel like they would be well represented with only the logo or name (and those who are aren't really people I'd want on my vest anymore *cough cough* Rammstein) And I also want my patches to be something more than just a logo or a slogan.

That's why I try to make patches of one specific album or even one specific song of an artist that is important to me in one way or another. And while wowaka technically is a rare case where I have listened to pretty much everything he put out I still wanted to make a patch of his most popular work, the unhappy refrain album. Not only is it one of the staples of vocaloid music in my opinion it's also been one of my favorite albums for a long long time now. Probably ever since I've discovered vocaloid in 2016. It was a nice bonus that the artwork is very stencil friendly and I think it turned out really nice even though it's very minimalistic but that's the best I could do.

if anyone has ideas for other wlw/queer patches and/or items and images etc for my vest pls send suggestions my way!!!

in light of that horrendous, overpriced Cult of Individuality jacket I saw today I want to share my vests from over the years

i dont even want to know how much money has gone into them. The vests are all jackets I got from thrift stores and chopped the sleeves off of, but patches and spikey bits add up quick. Cant really tell from the pictures but holy crap have my patch sewing skills improved over the years.

Late 2000s/Early 2010s: My first vest, my thrasher jacket. From my "heavy metal is my only personality trait because everything else is buried in the closet" phase. Pretty much refused to be caught without it on for most of high school and a couple years beyond, starting with just the vest and the Slayer patch. Picked up a few of the patches at shows (Black Label Society, Children of Bodom, Nightwish, Misfits, Judas Priest) the rest were from eBay or random 2000s websites. its had various layouts of spikes/studs over its life, but all got removed to make room for patches. The big blank space is because I couldnt figure out how to sew patches over pockets, at the time. I dont wear it anymore both because its beat to shit and I definitely wouldnt rep some of the patches on it anymore. (ex the confederate flag skull Pantera patch) There were signs of things to come though. I found this, hiding behind the Ensiferum patch. X3

I intend to hold onto this thing forever. I forgot it also has Eat The Rich on it.

2010s-Now: These two are more recent, and still get some wear. I started the black one after I retired my kutte, and the blue one shortly before coming out ver2.0 dropped, a couple years ago, then immediately abandoned. I will probably transfer a lot of the patches to the black vest. Some will also go to my primary vest. No idea what Im going to do with the blue one. I love the back patch but the vest is kind of bulky and doesnt go over crop Ts very well, like the black one does. The Donkey Kong patch is probably my favorite. It was either a gift, or I bought it, from the retro gaming guy, at my local flea. Its in amazing condition for being 40+ years old.

My primary vest right now is this crop job. I plan on making it my magnum opus. Once I get patches situated I plan on filling the rest of the space with pins and paint. The backpatch and the Cisn't patch on the front are from @lakemichiganbaby (SturgeonsDesigns on etsy). [currently on a break for February 2023] The bows are from @genderpunks (GreerMarsCo on etsy) I plan on sewing them somewhere else, probably on the pockets themselves, because I have Ace and Nonbinary colors painted on the pocket flaps. The button holes are a convenient spot right now because they were originally intended as hair clips. Lots of work left to do on it, but Im in no rush to be done with it as a project. Hoping this one looks are rough as my old metalhead battle jacket by the end.
