Your Battle Jacket. Your rules. Please carry on...Thank you...

[@MeadandMetal]

Amen! - Claire

[@vidfreek]

I've never heard any of these rules, Jack Skellington is just trying to ruin Christmas

[@doubleT84]

"only if you've seen the band live" - I guess that's the most debatable rules, aside from "only one genre". That'd mean newer generations aren't allowed to represent some of their most favorite band's, just because these dinosaurs are either too old or simply dead.

[@chetwilson]

Shit I guess I should throw away all my Dio patches, all my Motörhead patches, all my Black Sabbath patches, and all of my slayer patches

[@Aron-lw4tb]

Also it's not like some people are simply not well off enough financially to afford a 90€ ticket to their favourite artist

[@geoffrymodlin2098]

rule number 1: dont be an elitest metal dickhead. all done, like what you like and let others like what they like. side note, love the no face patch.

[@geoffrymodlin2098]

i audibly laughed so hard at "sleep token"

[@fragster2008]

Agreeed, right on 🤘

[@matthewslack1509]

Fuck the rules 😅😅😅 just put what u want on the jacket🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@iKozak99]

For me personally it's important that I sew them on myself, because for me it's about the personal connection I have with the patches and the vest and the time invested, but I'm obviously not gonna judge anyone else for not doing it that way. It's your vest, you get to decide the rules.

[@wolfmauler]

I had no idea I was breaking so many rules! 🙄 I've got Punk, Goth, BM, Death, Industrial all mixed together 🤯. Madness! 🤪 ( I don't have a Madness patch though actually 🤔...)

[@rogerhutchins9883]

I wear my main jacket everyday, everywhere. I have five though😁. Too many awesome patches for one jacket.

[@MeadandMetal]

Five? Woahhh 😮 I wanna start more too tbh! I can never stop buying patches 😁 - Claire

[@princesspixxie]

The sewing them on yourself thing , I'm disabled I use fabric glue lol x

[@MeadandMetal]

I don't blame you! Get those patches on by any means necessary. When I got my first ever leather jacket, I used to just glue them on because i cba sewing through real leather 😄 no regrets, that would been such a pain. - Claire

[@user-xy1zd5kc4w]

I plan too like glue corners then sew them on

[@fragster2008]

Mmm.. glue is ok for leather patches but not for basic patches. It comes right through. Best bet, get some one to sew them on for ya. 👍

[@HME]

Thanks for the shout-out guys. Can I get Claire to stitch on my patches too? 😂 ~Big Dan

[@princesspixxie]

Haha no way you did it thanks for the shout out, and it's a totally ridiculous article love you guys mwah x

[@mattiasahman7033]

Hahahaha i fucking love you two 😂😂 i just imagine someone walking around with a pin that is like 10 kilos on the back 😂😂😂

[@human_no847]

Wow the guy who wrote that article would have a field day with me, I make up weird band names and add to them to my jacket lol

[@MeadandMetal]

Hahaha! Amazing 🤣 Give us an example? I have a whole list on my phone of silly band names I've made up 😄 - Claire

[@human_no847]

Haha oooh I want to hear some of yours. One of my faves is: Neverending Dysentery@@MeadandMetal

[@TheWishDragon]

Love that. I might have to do that haha!

[@human_no847]

@@TheWishDragon please do let's make it a Thing :D

[@jenniferfair280]

Omg! Never washing it! After Download 2023 just could not leave that but I was ours on a regular basis. Sad thing though my cure patch faded but the rest were fine. I have sewn all my partners patches on! I saw something really lovely at Bloodstock 2023, a guy was sewing some patches (I assume he had just got from one of the stalls) onto his jacket in the arena just chilling on the grass in the sunshine. I'm with you guys on all of this.

[@MeadandMetal]

I love it when you see the biggest, hairyest metalhead dude calmly sewing at fests 😊 Something sp wholesome about it. - Claire

[@doubleT84]

If it really could need a wash, just wear it in the shower.

[@defleshedbuttocks]

I think Bolt Thrower once said: "In battle jackets, there is no law!"⚔

[@katerichardson6719]

I hand sew my mates on...i even stitched a littls party skeleton on there in one of the gabs!!

[@noodelia1511]

Making my first ever battle jacket before I see Slipknot for the first time ever and I’m glad I learned these rules before hand lmao “literally sewing bands I’ve never seen live” lol

[@anthonyhoffman6920]

“Patches are for bands you’ve seen live.” I guess I should throw away my deathspell omega patch then ;_;

[@princesspixxie]

Omg that giraffe i had a racecar patch on my old crust pants x 🎉

[@jonashalverson8546]

I think these rules are intended as a starting place and that's why their was multiple "don't be a dick, have fun" rules. The whole point is self expression

[@Young_BZ]

Most of these rules are petty but I also agree with a lil of it. Wear those jackets!

[@Pxxr_4]

You guys really made me feel better about this topic I was scared to put certain bands I liked when I start on a battle vest bc some i like aren’t exactly metal you know like suicidal tendencies or outta pocket 🙏

[@unclemetal8774]

I definitely think these rules are bullshit. 🤘😈🤘

[@DarenC]

I'm still collecting patches, and bollocks to one style of music. I've got Maiden, Marley, Muse and Madness amongst others. Not to mention the vegan patches and random stuff like my cub scout badges from the early 80s 😂

[@Sidcoree]

I’m making a battle vest and I’m adding KISS, Guns N Roses and an AC/DC patches to it😼

[@Rue4You2]

I trust you because you're wearing a Ghost shirt.

[@davidlilly1000]

I have 2 death patches, but Chuck passed away when I was 6. Going to see Death to All though.

[@anastasiaedwards8104]

just realized that we were probably at the same Blind Guardian concert 😮

[@wolfmauler]

Big up on the Skyclad patch! 😉🤘🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@lukemiles04]

That AC/DC patch is on the hme jattle backet

[@N.Naesby]

Hilarious video 🎉

[@doriyonbrown3934]

Nah the Witcher patch is fine because Vader made a song for one of the games 😂😂😂

[@PlaidRocker32]

Could not agree more that a battle jacket is meant to be a second skin of your personality. It's meant to invite others to be like, "Oh! You love that thing?! I also love that thing! Let's talk about that thing that we both love!" Sure, bands and music are the most traditional, but go ahead and put movie, tv show, or cartoon patches on if you've got them! Who cares?? It's uniquely yours!

[@MeadandMetal]

Absolutley! They're such useful icebreakers 😁 - Claire

[@bathory5026]

I have rules, but they're for ME. My 1st one is: A band may only be represented once per jacket, at least in terms of patches. I may have a pin of the same band as a patch though, but I try not to.

[@leebrown1977]

Screw these rules. Mine’s got Batman and Ghostbusters, and all sorts of horror related stuff alongside the metal.

[@lime_8573]

no way the crazy lixx, the singer in crazy lixx was my teacher

[@JB-sz3yw]

Where do you buy your patches

[@Young_BZ]

I saw Thor the theatre tho xD

[@GJTyphoon1991]

My partner and I have a game for our jackets…that we can only get the patch if we’ve seen the band for 20 minutes…but that’s just our little thing :-)

[@tolerhousecookies69]

So does that mean I can put a sublime patch on my battle jacket??

[@noodsnewell8429]

Check out Pull The Plug Patches…great gear.

[@seealleye2614]

I completely agree with the iron patchs, there the worst kind! Also awesome vlog by the way!

[@enjilol819]

Me having a bob marley patch on mine. Just simply bc I like him. I also have never seen any of my favourite bands life, simply bc I'm in school and I dont have the money. I break so many rules lol, but call me poser idk. I'm still getting into metal, so if someone has tips or important things to know I would appreciate it :) (til now I have like 5 patches on my jacket lol)

[@MeadandMetal]

Tip number 1: Do what ever you want with your jacket 😁

[@princesspixxie]

Zakk if you like reckless love do you like the almighty welsh warriors tiger tailz ? X

[@sora666100]

I definitely broke rules my big main patch is death never seen them live cause chuck died when I was 6 but death is my favourite I got a black sabbath and a ozzy patch never seen them and I got mix genres of metal all over

[@rachelsingleton8810]

Turisas are great aren't they I've seen them countless of times

[@SeanFarley-uu7rv]

Sleeves or no sleeves?

[@RobertJ82]

Ahhh okay I got to 6 and realised this is clearly a piss take.

[@ghw1985]

No MC and no 1% those are my 2 rules and yes im aware there is a difference in battle jackets and biker cuts hahah

[@ericdpeerik3928]

Yeah, biker cuts are something very different, they actually do have very strict rules. If you're not a 1%-er, you definitely don't want to 1% anything, you'll get hurt. 😂

[@kanervatie]

Rules of the Battle Jacket-club. There are no rules

[@horrorshiddengems527]

The only rule I follow is that every patch must be a band I have seen live I have metal, punk, goth and everything inbetween on my vest

[@RAAZR-]

I certainly didn't apply any rules when making mine (Profile pic)

[@justmuppet1765]

Rule nr1: make it your own 🤘☹️ I just bought a super cheap jeans jacket but ive been silly and havent bought any patches from the shows and 1 festival ive been to😅 so cutting arms and buying patches next 😁 Mine's gonna be as schizophrenic as my taste in metal. I dont listen to genres, I listen to good music😁

[@mrmoon1045]

Batlord is actually Bathory

[@NormogGaming]

Definitely disagree with rule 2.. but. An exclusive battle jacket with only bands you seen would be cool as a reminder to and show others who you've seen. Making my first Battle Jacket now ans was planning on that for my 2nd. Lets be honest too.. youre going to have more then one.

[@LeoDemarshi-fn7yh]

😮😮😮

[@ericdpeerik3928]

Rule nr 11: I do what I want! 😂

[@annapepple477]

I feel like a failure lmao. My Battle Jacket is all political statements, my country’s flag upside down (the US is in distress so. Symbolism yaknow?) So far not one single band patch (I’m looking to change that. Just haven’t found any patches at gigs that I dig the design of.) Am I a total failure?

[@yerboiGreg]

🍳

[@vidfreek]

eggn't

[@panzerov1186]

thor isnt dead just asw him live a few days ago

[@z0mb13p4rty]

The no washing rule is fucking bullshit. I live in a country that gets hot during the summer I don’t want my jacket to reek of sweat 💀💀💀

[@doubleT84]

You could always just wear it under the shower, just saying.

[@glumdead4Life]

F@ck your rules, I get more patches when I go to a concert. I also go get a shirt and patch or pin when I see a band I didn’t know but enjoyed

[@dylanince2074]

there are no rules for jackets its your jacket do what the fuck you want.

[@juicyparsons]

This shit too authoritarian for me 😂 I wear *whatthefuckIwant* to the DMV

[@berkergoker]

Only rule is there is no rule

[@judaspriestfan]

5:31 this rule is dumb. i bassicly live in my battle jacket together with my bullet belt.

[@dch6371]

Rules no. As suggestions yes agree. The sewing part is a maybe, safety pins are ok (expect to loose some). Staples not if your going near people. Spikes ok assuming venues allow them. Personally hate them in the pit otherwise love them. You are a "fake" if you but patches of bands you never seen, but who cares you like them. As a teenager, you have to start somewhere. Back piece are normally two big pieces, be original place multiple instead at the end no rules, just imitating others makes it pointless.

[@JosephPetrzak]

Yo you keep f****** cool man I love you guys get more videos I want to see you guys more on KZbin you f****** sick I love you

[@basvleeskruyer]

Metal is a rebel music. Rules....are there. Pick up everyone that falls. Dont be an asshole. And no holding back in enjoying the music. Be respectful to women.

[@ericdpeerik3928]

Also, don't puke on the amplifiers! I think we can all agree on that

[@basvleeskruyer]

Lol and true

[@HistoriaOrbis74]

Who on the hell wrote this?? Sounds like a bunch of posers wrote this. There is nooooooo rules in making a battle jacket! Just maybe a suggestion like "know of and at least something about the bands you are representing.

[@wuttamark8584]

I must be missing something because I always found theses vests to be the must cringe and nerdy thing about metal.

[@Hotrocket85]

There are no rules to punk rock

[@derspuk6221]

Oh the batlord one hurts. It's ike wodos. Not funny at all.

[@inthesandwich]

these rules are utter rubbish especially when interacting with irl metal/punk community so many people with jackets nowadays don't even define themselves under one genre. I've seen patches of all kinds on people's jackets i love to put political stuff on mine and the rule about only wearing them to shows is rubbish i wear mine whenever i can i've even had friends say they've never seen me without it on!! the only rule i'd have about battle jackets is do what you want it's your jacket

[@thetastyscott9220]

Those rules are bs

[@JosephPetrzak]

Oh man you guys are f****** awesome that's why I've been looking for I've been looking for f****** people like you you know I'm a real f****** metalheads man come on I have my battle Jack and I want you to listen to this this will blow you f****** people way off now I have my battle jacket the person who made it was 1982 I bought the battle jacket in believe it or not the jacket was are sprayed iron maiden I went to all their shows and then I lied when I was working and I was sick so I could go to the shows I had an autographed and I are sprayed clear gloss inside the jacket so I can have the autographs my battle jacket is on a different jacket now because it's shrunk because so I put it right now on a different jacket I wear it every time and I don't give a f*** what people say that's my battle jacket I love iron maiden I love my skulls buttons and all that that's me keep up the good work send me more letters in my email I would love to hear you guys you guys are the best f****** sick people in the world where were friends like you and where I'm looking for keep up the good work f****** yeah heavy metal rules
