my Punk Jackets
masterpost >:>
Okay so here's my current battle jacket that I wear all the time.
The back patch is a Front Bottoms song and the jacket is covered in things, little keys, fun worms I give away (not all the pride flags are mine some are just so I can give people theirs), pins, safety pins (esp around the collar) and spikes.
One side of the jacket is this and has my hopepunk patch which is a personal like. fave.
and the other is like this! The mischief brew one sews through the pocket fun fact (just a little though like 1 stitch)
my friend @soan-papdi made the cabin 11 patch! <3
the pockets on this jacket are big enough to put a magazine in and it's a great jacket.
Next is my flannel which I made summer of 2021, two of the patches have been replaces but the rest definitely show their age. It doesn't have a lot on it because when I was hospitalized I took all the sharps off all my jackets and I haven't gotten around to putting them back on that jacket yet. It definitely is more political than my more music/art-oriented jacket and both have benefits
The "Share art share joy" patch (which used to be "snitch on your boss" but that would fold and looked like "itch your ass" moral of the story, look at how things will fold lol) is a pocket!
The back patch is the first patch I ever made! The sleeves are spiked which is fun but flannel definely doesn't hold spikes well.
Next is my leather jacket which was pleather so fell apart so I painted in all the holes and did a Kimya Dawson quote on the back. It needs some touch-ups on the quote but it's really sweet to me because it did it with friends.
And finally, my platypus' jacket.
I sewed the whole thing myself from a jean leg and the back patch is going to be "love yourself a latke" because his name is Latke!
Right now he has a rainbow heart, some black eyed susans, and a "Bee kind" patch!
If anyone ever wants battle jacket tips I'd love to give advice. I might make another fashion post sometime with all my written on shirts or my jorts I embroidered and painted on. Maybe I'll post my kandi someday. for now; Here's my jackets! I worked hard on them.

Hi I’m new to punk subculture and I know pretty much nothing, how do u make ur own patches ? Also r most battle jackets washable? Anyways I love your blog and the platypus jacket
I make my patches using old jeans and micheals brand fabric paint, and then sew them on making sure to wrap the edges down so they don't fray! you can use embroidery thread (it's pretty cheap) or floss (also cheap) for sewing. YOu can pin them on with safety pins but they will fray in the meantime. Battle jackets tend to require care to wash, esp with things on them like pins. I've never washed most of my jackets but if you need to clean it, running a jacket under water or spounging around areas can be good, I can link things on cleaning. . I can make a tutorial on making patches maybe if ppl are interested?
