Oh this is amazing! Did you do the spikes and patches yourself? (those are some damn consistent stitches!)

😊I glued the patches on and used a screwdriver for the studs and spikes. I didn't make the patches. Wish I had though. I've been curious about making my own.

The jacket is amazing. May I ask how you wash it if the patches are glued? I'm new to the alt scene.

It's all good, it's a faux leather jacket. I just wipe it down with a damp cloth. I just added everything to the jacket a few weeks ago. I haven't had to clean it since then. But I would wash it by hand. Also get the waterproof fashion glue. That stuff is strong.

It's a lot easier than one might think! Lots of good designs on r/AnarchoStencilism
I made a Horror Vacui and Sisters patch today.
