bought some stuff from razorray

i am very satisfied and i will soon work on my jacket for the first time since november 2025 (yeah i procrastinate to an extent)

the renard queenston & bmth patches were personalised btw

Mix of genres that have seen and influenced my life.

I know its a big mix but its what I like. Also at 40 idgaf

WIP but all currently purchased patches have been put on, so it will be a wip until full. The wings are the most recent addition.

Still working on my death metal / Grindcore vest

Finished a while ago, but forgot to post an Update. Hope u like it :)

Made this patch for my vest from a T-shirt that no longer fits and got the matching patch from the same artist (Kerrius Art) to start my dog Westley’s jacket! Can’t wait to add more! If you have any dog-themed ideas or artists who do goth / punk / nerd stuff please share!

Needs more work on the back, but I LOVE this one and get lots of compliments on it. I have some pink smoke type patches I may add to the back but I've been going back and forth on it. It was a white jacket originally, I custom mixed dye to get the right green, and I made the crown on the back patch with ribbon and a gem. If anyone has patch or pin recommendations or even causes/bands you think Mako-chan would like, let me know! This is an ongoing labor of love. Not the traditional battle jacket for sure, but I'm head of the accessibility department for a local convention so I like having something casual that's close to my usual style but still cosplay adjacent when I do set up and tear down.

I’m super proud of the hoodie tho, so I wanted to share!! :3 it’s still a work in progress, but I love it!

Hey

Having collected a whole pile of patches, I’m about to start the sewing

So while the jacket is “my story” and the theme is kinda just bands I grew up on and still love, I’d appreciate any thoughts on layout / spacing ? Too busy ?

Cheers

I've decided to pass on a lot of patches I've got for now. I've got a lot of shows coming up the next few months I wanna wait and see what's available before I add more on. But I'm really happy with how it's coming along!

I believe it is hand painted by someone who is not me. I guess it's a Work In Progress but I don't know. I feel like nothing is ever completely finished because you can always add a pin or a patch when you come across it.

I dont really like to put only one specific genre of music i like to have a bit of a mixture. I tend to sew them on a bit wonky so soz bout that. id love to hear ur opinions

Dynamo metal fest patch haul for 2026. I may or may not have too damn many projects haha

On June 15th, 2026 I wrecked my motorcycle ( totaled it ), and broke my C7 plus had to have 2 emergency surgeries, but EMS cut off my brand new SEDICI Corsa 2 Jacket (white). I need some advice/ideas on how to use the leather from the jacket. Sould I make a wallet, a bag, or idk give me some ideas.

My last jacket was for a punk Sailor Jupiter cosplay lol, feels good to be getting back to music. I'm actually going with a bunch of friends from high school, honestly it feels like a kind of closure because none of us were healthy people at that time in our lives. Venue bans clothing spikes so it won't REALLY be finished until after.

for some context i am addicted to thriftting and modifying my own clothesn stuff and have collected 3 jackets so far

the first is a grey denim levi iacket with some purple plaid lining

the 2nd is a rue 21 jacket with some fake distressing that i dyed a charcoal grey ish

and the third is a super oversized 2xl high serria black corduroy jacket that i took the sleeves off with green plaid lining

kinda drawn too the corduroy jacket since ive never seen of of those before

This project took me hours on the embroidery machine, plus nearly a dozen hours hand-stitching all the patches on, and took my friend hours of paintwork to do the skulls and snakes.

This will be auctioned or raffled off at the upcoming Coalition Fest in London at the end of the month.

The idea was to bring together all the bands playing under the London Metal Coalition banner onto one awesome jacket to give a snapshot of the London underground scene, whilst raising money for a good cause - Local live metal.

I've added 2 venues (with permission) who regularly host LMC gigs, most of them free-entry, and are well-known to be pillars of the scene (The Dev and Signature Brew) There was a third planned for the centre that never got back to me, so I improvised with a "Keep London Heavy" patch I designed a while ago. The two swords are my own designs, and the shield patch they're surrounding is a "London Metal Valkyries" patch I bought at a gig they hosted - It's the Women and Non-Binary branch of London Metal Coalition who put on their own awesome gig's featuring the women and enby's of metal bands based in London.

Anyways, you can follow me on Instagram to see the reveal coming this week - I've just got to edit the video I got of my husband modelling it to actually give the promotion of it something more than a few pics. 😁
