Testament New Battle Jacket (In Progress)

DethlikeSilenceThu, 10/01/2013 - 01:28

Started this jacket on 1/9/13. I want it to be dedicated to many bands as opposed to my one-band Iron Maiden jacket. Testament back patch is from an old shirt I got in 2006 that does not fit anymore. WaxTrax! is an industrial music label from the 1980s that put out a bunch of KMFDM, Ministry and Front242 material that I love. I'm a big fan of early industrial. This was also from a shirt I had that doesn't fit anymore.

UPDATE:

Recently made a bunch of homemade patches and bought 2. I really like what I did with some of the homemade ones so I will most likely keep them. Nothing is attached at this point. Besides the backpatch, WaxTrax! and Primal Fear stuff.

UPDATE:

New picture shows the layout desired for the back. All patches are home-made, hand drawn except for the Judas Priest SFV, Motorhead Overkill, Destruction, Running Wild, and Venom.

We've got a Wax Trax down in Denver! Nice

Awesome! Yeah, I went back and forth about putting that on there, but I thought, ahh I like WaxTrax so it belongs. Kind of looks odd next to Testament, but as it fills up, it should blend in.

I love the Testament BP.

Thanks, man! It's from my old Souls of Black shirt that didn't fit. I saved most my shirts in the hopes of using them for my Jackets and Testament HAD to be the back patch! It's a bit uneven across the top, but it was hard to sew a flimsy shirt on, haha. \m/

dude for being a shirt cut out thats PERFECT. Trust me i know how much of a bitch it is to put tshirts on jackets. I save my shirts that get to small for BPs as well.

As a native Chicago-en, I must give you 5 flames for the Wax Trax patch. That would go great on my Chicago bands vest.

Lose the Tommy Hilfiger patch.

Hahahaha, yeah it's gone now. I took it off shortly after I put these photos up. In its place is a Primal Fear logo from an old shirt.

Awesome Testament backpatch and Wax Trax! patch too! Awesome to know there's a few industrial fans on here!

Thanks, man! Yup! I am a die-hard industrial fan. Mainly the early 80s - 90s material. I haven't found much lately. Most of my favorites were of the Wax Trax! era so I am glad to have that on my jacket.
