final version (this time I mean it ^^)
shoutout/thanks to all the people who I had the pleasure of trading patches with/buying patches from - you know who you are
finally managed to reach the landmark of 100 sewn on patches (although about 30 bands/patches didn't make the cut)
Seven Churches is literally the fabric that's holding the whole thing together (huge tear underneath it)

Welcome back Moritz! Killer fuckin vest!
Hliðskialf on
Thanks for the kind words (and the Convulse patch ^^)
Glad you like it; also a thousand times thanks for bringing that official Asphyx backpatch to my attention.

I'm glad you found because it looks bad ass on your jacket! Keen on how you have patches creeping over the empty parts of the BP so only the printing is visible.
Hliðskialf on
Had to get to 100 patches somehow and that freed up lots of room ^^
Love how it turned out though as the only thing that was carved in stone from the beginning was the placement of Asphyx and Bolt Thrower while everything else just neatly fell into place.
Looking into th... on
So much awesomeness, killer!!
Hliðskialf on
Thank you my man :)

Killer kutte

Merci beaucoup ^^

Awesome vest! Great idea to shape the bonded by blood patch!
Hliðskialf on
Glad you like it.
Yeah, some cover artworks are that iconic that you don't need the logo to go with it (like Powerslave).
Also, it's a 3€ patch so you can safely practice your shaping skills on it ^^

Absolutely amazing jacket! Great layout and array of bands. This is one of those that I'll go back and look at over and over. Straight into my favorites. \m/
Hliðskialf on
Thanks, that really means a lot to me.

finally see your jacket man!
awesome and that scanner patch catchs my eyes.
Hliðskialf on
Thanks for the kind words (and for being so persistent with the shipping of the Sentenced patches)
Yeah, that Hypertrace shape is fantastic, I was lucky enough to grab it off their official website when it was available. Pure speed metal from my hometown Gelsenkirchen.

Very nice vest mate. Well done!
Hliðskialf on
Thank you. That means a lot to me coming from you ^^
kingdomofhannover on
Does it? You’re welcome mate!:) Just saw that Amon Amarth shape on front, it’s really beautiful, great idea!
BloodFireDeath on
Wow! One of my absolute favorite vests on this website and the one that got me into patch collecting! Great update, and cool to see that To the Gory End in use!
Hliðskialf on
That's quite the compliment. Cool that I got you hooked on patch collecting.
Yeah, thanks for the awesome trade involving To The Gory End. That old weaving pattern kicks major ass.
fauzan big on
Great update man! Btw, where's your old account?
Hliðskialf on
Glad you like it :)
Old account got deleted after a heated debate on rules interpretation and enforcement. But that's a thing of the past now, just glad to receive such warm welcomes all around.

Thank you mate
HM Maniac on
Really amazing! I love how insane it looks!
Hliðskialf on
That's exactly the type of look I was aiming for. Glad you like it.
BeefCakeAssThrash on
That vest is FULL dude! Love it!
Hliðskialf on
Thanks mate. Yeah, I'm always trying to squeeze a couple more patches on there ^^
BeefCakeAssThrash on
I know that feeling man.. just when you think you can't possibly fit another patch on there, you stumble on something the vest absolutely needs and you start getting creative haha. Speaking of creativity, love what you did with the Ghost patch, always nice to have a spot for your car keys
samael6666 on
Nice one! Backpatch fits perfectly in there
Hliðskialf on
Thank you. Yeah, as soon as I saw that backpatch I knew that you could build around it really well.
