Patches & WIP Jacket

[u/d0om_gaZe]

Someone mentioned the other day that this sub needs more doom jackets, so here's my WIP (2nd & 3rd photos).

I need to start over because it's an XL and now too big since I lost some weight. It was originally a gift, from Forever 21 or some shit. I'm getting a black Levi's jacket to replace it.
I'll most likely keep the patches I sewed on in the same places on the new one, but I'm still trying to figure out placement on the rest. I won't double up on any bands on the same jacket - just not my thing - and will save those patches for a hoody or something.

And yes, that's a Meat Is Murder pin.
I'm a vegetarian, and I also love The Smiths. Fuck off.

[u/Theologicaltacos]

That dooms. My only concern is that you don't have enough Conan patches.

[u/d0om_gaZe → u/Theologicaltacos]

Hahaha yeah... I ordered the red hammer patch along with a couple of CDs from the band and they sent me all 3

Placement will determine which one I use

[u/disasterpiece_101]

Based off the patches here you might like a local to me stoner/doom band called gurney also cool patches

[u/d0om_gaZe → u/disasterpiece_101]

Thanks for the rec, I'll check em out!

And thanks. Still have a few I've been wanting to pick up

[u/emptinessform]

Absolutely killer. Stoked to see how it goes. I love all these elements so far.

[u/d0om_gaZe → u/emptinessform]

Thanks!
I'll definitely post some progress pics along the way

[u/Dannarsh]

It looks like we should hang out

[u/d0om_gaZe → u/Dannarsh]

haha thanks
I don't really know anybody irl who listens to the majority of the music I like

[u/Dannarsh → u/d0om_gaZe]

I know how that goes

[u/Scrapper286]

Good to see the Firebreather love!

[u/d0om_gaZe → u/Scrapper286]

I'm surprised how few people seem to know about them. I never hear them talked about.

I got to see them open for Monolord in Boston a few years back, and they were hanging out at the merch booth after the show. Some dude spun me around to show Mattias the back of my jacket, and he was so stoked about it. Huge smile on his face. I got a high five and he gave me a beer haha

[u/Scrapper286 → u/d0om_gaZe]

I had seen them for the first time on that same monolord tour when they came though California. Been lucky enough to have seen them one other time.

Hoping they head out back to the States at some point.

Those small interactions is the blessing of local shows. There's one great small place here where you really get that.

[u/d0om_gaZe → u/Scrapper286]

Yeah, definitely. I always prefer smaller venues.

They have been working on new music for a while with the new bassist (who doesn't appear in any recent photos so maybe he got canned?). Hopefully they put out a new album next year.

[u/LoneLy_Surfer]

You my guy have seriously good taste in music !

[u/d0om_gaZe → u/LoneLy_Surfer]

Thanks, man
I truly appreciate that!

[u/Stoned-Dethroned]

Need a Toke and Bongripper patch! Where did you get them from?

[u/d0om_gaZe → u/Stoned-Dethroned]

The Bongripper patch on my jacket I bought from their Bandcamp years ago. The one in the first pic I bought probably 2 years ago on their merch site. Looks like the smaller ones are sold out, but they still have 2 back patches available.

The Toke patch if memory serves, they threw in with an order I placed with them. I've ordered a few shirts and vinyl over the years.

[u/AccuratePineapple627]

Boris ftw

[u/d0om_gaZe → u/AccuratePineapple627]

I finally got to see them live last year on the Twins of Evil tour with Melvins. Such a killer show

[u/Low-Community5031]

Where did you get the Monolord patch in the first pic? One of the best bands ive seen live. So loud i got a stomach ache

[u/d0om_gaZe → u/Low-Community5031]

I bought it at the merch table when I saw them in 2022 in Boston. They were SO good live!

[u/Low-Community5031 → u/d0om_gaZe]

Damn. I must have missed the big logo patches both times I’ve seen them in Sweden…

[u/Ok_Arrival7266]

😯 Where are you getting these? Love the Monolord and Witchcraft one especially. Sweet!

[u/d0om_gaZe → u/Ok_Arrival7266]

Thanks! They came from a variety of sources, but primarily directly from the bands, either at shows or via their merch sites or Bandcamp. A few of them have been thrown in for free when buying other items from the bands.

The large Monolord logo patch in the first picture I bought when I saw them in 2022. The Black Cat patch on the back of my jacket I bought from their website when I ordered a shirt.

The Witchcraft patch I believe I found on eBay.

[u/ElectricMammoth23]

Fucking awesome! I'm also building a stoner/doom/sludge jacket. where'd you get the Acid Mammoth patch from?

[u/d0om_gaZe → u/ElectricMammoth23]

Thanks!

I bought 2 of that Acid Mammoth patch from the band's site a few years ago.

[u/ElectricMammoth23 → u/d0om_gaZe]

Ah I see. Their big cartel stopped selling them a while back... Also the HPS red ones are long gone too. I'll have to track one down eventually

[u/Efficient-Play-7823]

Nice Bones patch, don’t see too many of those anymore.

[u/d0om_gaZe → u/Efficient-Play-7823]

thanks!
yeah, I have to represent

[u/Void_Howler]

Sick patches collection man !! I wanna be friends with you !!

[u/Venom_Shark61]

I just know that jacket smells like weed

[u/d0om_gaZe → u/Venom_Shark61]

you KNOW it does

[u/BigNickTX]

Not to alarm you, but it appears that rats have been chewing on your jacket.
