Obviously not as great as a lot of the jackets here, but I'm pretty proud of it as a first attempt! I've gotten a lot of complements on it at gigs, so I thought you guys might like it too 😁

I need another 20mm strip patch to match the Abigail one if anyone has a link or two to some good sites!👀

I am working on a battle vest constructed from a spandex-blend denim trucker jacket, and have noticed that a lot of my modifications (patches, leather padding, etc.) are much stiffer than the base fabric. I'm worried this may create stress and wear points in the base jacket, and it also doesn't hold its shape the way I'd like when I'm not wearing it. I'm thinking a stiff backing would be a good option to improve the feel, aesthetics and longevity/durability. Do y'all know anything about Timtex, or backings in general? I was considering cordura instead, but I feel like timtex would be a bit stiffer and better suited for my intended use.

Side note: I also haven't figured out how I would secure it to the vest. Insight on that would be helpful as well. Thanks y'all!

If things go well I'll be getting some band patches soon (Misfits, Bauhaus, Joy division)

As said! I needed some new clothes for my upcoming mini-tour and this is what came put of my beginner sewing skills.

I had a lot of fun making it which is what counts I guess.

Ripped bleached Plaid dress shirt Fill in of the non bleach dress shirt and grey fabric. Bad Ass, Shit Happens and Municipal Waste patch Sharpie patches on denim.

I would love to have this printed on a black patch. Does anyone have the ability to print the white portion on about 3.5” x 4” piece of black material? How much would you charge?

Or, could anyone paint it?

Thanks!

Hey everybody!

I'm planning to make my own backpatch, i'm probably going to take the back of an old shirt as a base and draw on it using fabric paint.

What's a good way to sketch the drawing out before painting?

Any tips, tricks or advice are greatly appreciated!
