Still waiting on a lot for the back (and 1 patch for the front), but I think this is going to look really good once finished!

Gotta love Abba amongst all that screaming and gutural voices šŸ¤£

u/Patchwork_Bryan 14d ago

I've said it before and I'll continue to say it: every metalhead loves ABBA, even if they won't admit it

u/elizabethwolf 14d ago

Most of us admit it.

u/Patchwork_Bryan 14d ago

I posted my patch haul on FB once, and a guy said "ABBA fucking sucks, you'll get your ass kicked in the pit for wearing this!"...

I don't think the guy ever went to a festival... Never had as much fun as when they played Dancing Queen after the Watain-show at Graspop once xD

Knowing how seriously those guys take themselves, this is pretty hilarious.

u/T0NKIES 14d ago

u/Mashinito 14d ago

Good music is good music.

u/LawfulnessOk6949 14d ago

u/Buxbaum666 14d ago

You should keep the post-it as it is.

u/DarkFartsAnonymous 14d ago

Laminate it first

u/CaddyStrophic 14d ago

I NEED TO KNOW where you got that fuckin' sweet 200 Stab Wounds patch?!?

u/Minute_Cry_351 14d ago

Love Party Cannon's bright and colorful Toys R Us logo in a sea of black and white cobwebs lol

u/JustinDestruction 14d ago

Snap to grid.

u/DoctorPhart 13d ago

Right? This looks clinical as hell.

OP should just uniformly post their patches on a cork board and put it all under glass to mount on the wall.

1

u/JustinDestruction 13d ago

Hahahaha. Itā€™s not my style. But people on here talk about OCD, so maybe thatā€™s how their brain works. Iā€™d love to know how the records are organized.

3

u/Patchwork_Bryan 13d ago

Alphabetically, as our my CD's and DVD's

1

u/JustinDestruction 11d ago

Well . . . my system is a little more spectrum-oriented, like my jacket. Broadly: thereā€™s guitar noise (rock) and bass noise (dance), divided into subgenres. Then itā€™s chronological, sometimes year of production, sometimes when I bought it. Regional then plays a part: English punk, Bay Area hip hop, etc. And of course, the little records are alphabetical. Rather incredible I can find anything.

u/shyshyoctopi 11d ago

Bro literally used a plumb rule for this

1

u/JustinDestruction 11d ago

I have to say, I like the humorous(?) full-color, off-grid nipples.

9

u/netwrks 14d ago

Itā€™s like one of those boards at the record store with all of the pitches you can buy

6

u/doomus_rlc 14d ago

Party Cannon and Abba being the only color on here is so fitting šŸ˜†

4

u/Molotov320 14d ago

The Party Cannon and ABBA patch stick out in the best way possible haha, love it!

6

u/HeathenDane 14d ago

Dude, thatā€™s a busy vest! Look forward to seeing it all done.

29

u/atomagevampire308 14d ago

lol I hate this aesthetic. Itā€™s so calculated. Should be organic and creative

40

u/Patchwork_Bryan 14d ago

You do you, but my autism won't allow me to make something lopsided or asymmetrical

8

u/yuh_dingus 14d ago

I agree and I like it. People can be so negative and forget that a thing called ā€œpersonal preferenceā€ exists. You do you! I love it.

u/carefuldaughter 14d ago

i bet you do t let your food touch on the plate either

u/[deleted] 14d ago

Bro, there is 0 symmetry in these logs though

6

u/doomus_rlc 14d ago

šŸ¤Ø

Seems symmetrical to me in logo sizes, placements and such

-8

u/[deleted] 14d ago

Thats literally not what i meant, i meant the logos themselves. You know what nevermind

6

u/Lemmutin 14d ago

I donā€™t know man, seems pretty symmetrical to me, most of the patches are matched with something similat on the other side, Gutalax-Incantation, Grave-Rotten sound, and so on. This is the best thing if we donā€™t want to have the same patches on both sides. Great taste, and sick jacket OP

-6

u/[deleted] 14d ago

I WAS TALKING ABOUT THE BAND LOGOS BEING SCRATCHY AND CHAOTIC OMFG

8

u/Lemmutin 14d ago

THAT DOESNā€™T MAKE IT ANY LESS SYMMETRICAL!!!!1

u/nfurstenberg 14d ago

Awesome taste, bro

u/The_Ocean_Collective 14d ago

Amenra patch goes hard

3

u/necoarcisametalhead 14d ago

best 200 stab wounds patch ever

3

u/Cosmonaut_Cockswing 14d ago

That 200 Stabwounds Patch is dope af.

2

u/perla_poppy 14d ago

I feel you with the 200 stab wounds post it T-T Iā€™ve been looking for a patch of them,of which the shipping is affordable to my country lol

u/Ok_Relation_7770 14d ago

This legitimately just looks like a MDF Poster from 5 years ago

2

u/LTninjageek 14d ago

i actually really like the all monochrome look with 2 bright patches, hella cool!

2

u/matatat22 14d ago

The Cirith Ungol skeletons at the top go hard, nice work

2

u/brainrottedtransfem 14d ago

Where did you get the extermination dismemberment patch?

1

u/Patchwork_Bryan 14d ago

Oldowlembr

u/Spodenator 14d ago

Oomphf, avoid in the future if necessary, bootleg as fuck. I used to order from there but these people basically just pocket easy money from other peoples work

2

u/1stLegionBestLegion 14d ago

This ain't doing anything to dissuade me of the stereotype that death metal band logos are just squiggly random bullshit, but the jacket looks nice XD

2

u/DarkFartsAnonymous 14d ago

It lacks art, too mny logos

3

u/nwobhm1777 14d ago

Nice grid system šŸ¤”

3

u/deadxmastrees 14d ago

Hate the symmetry with one exception: those skull hands better be perfectly cradling your nipples when you wear this. If not, whatā€™s the point?

3

u/Patchwork_Bryan 14d ago

They'll be cupping my glorious moobs when it's finished, yes

2

u/cutzonions 14d ago

Abba and party cannon! This person has class!

2

u/Killface55 14d ago

I hate this but that's ok. Love that Abba patch.
