I wanted to make one few years ago but realized the hassle isn't worth it as I wouldn't wear it anywhere outside metal shows.

I had a PoM backpatch on a denim jacket in the 90's, but that's as far as I ever went.

I don't want a battle jacket. I don't think it would suit me. I also don't want to confirm to fashion.

And even then I'd take it off because I'd be too warm.

Is the point of a battle jacket to only wear patches from bands you've seen live?

I believe the point is to express your taste in metal and other things. Some people want ones where they've only seen the bands live, but I don't think that's necessary.

I probably would.

Luckily you don't have to have one!

Hmm. I'm torn over what to get for the marquee locations on the back.

A Cheesejacket would be fun. There will be some cheese on mine, of course - Alestorm, Hammerfall, Gloryhammer.

 

[Mosh]

I would get one and wear it to the jazz club.

Yeah it's just about representing bands you like but of course picking up patches and stuff at shows might make it more personal instead of just buying them online. Although both is fine really.

Get a badass looking cheese patch

I seem to remember that @Dityn DJ James has a cool battle jacket!

Do it.

I rarely see patches for sale at shows here, unfortunately. A lot of the bands I've seen struggle to even have tshirts. Now that I've made the decision to do it, I will of course be keeping my eyes open.

Next two patches purchased:

Do you mean which large patch to have on the back?

 

[Black Wizard]

One of Iron Maiden is in Austin for the US Grand Prix today. I couldn't see which one, but David Coulthard said it was "the guitarist".

Must be Dennis Stratton.

No, that's definitely the Book of Souls cover. I mean the spot immediately above and below, but I've decided - Sabaton and Iced Earth.

It's Adrian Smith. Not practicing the solo for 'Alexander the Great' obviously.

One week of non-stop work finally complete. I'm truly exhausted.

Going away for 15 days of work again tomorrow. 12h days. Lovely.

Does that mean we'll get no flying chat for over two weeks?!
