Wondering what is people's opinions on patches on denim jackets?

 

what one chooses to do with their jacket is their choice. I personally wouldn't ruin an expensive denim jacket with a patch, but that's me. I think, too, that the type of patch factors into it as well.  lapel pins i'm ok with.

@chicote vokuhila it's definitely a power to be reckoned with now, after sufu's past mullet leader Maximo @oomskolop eloquent words.

they bring light to lives and meanings beyond the denim realm

chicote's sda intervention is well remembered well beyond his locks

I like to have some sort of decoration on a denim jacket. Had this chained stitched patch of my dog made by Tina Vines. Will probably at other hunting or setter related things to it at some point.

I like crazy denim as much as the next guy but it does seem like a lot of brands like Oni, Tanuki, some PBJ etc. are kinda overdoing it. I like a sort of balance between edgy stuff and tradition - like how Strike Gold will make a fabric with really crazy character, but it'll have a pretty conventional color. Or how Flat Head's denim has a very bold dyeing process/fade, but has a pretty subtle texture to the denim itself. Having loads of slub, a pink weft, super loose woven 25 oz left hand twill denim just seems like a bit too much. 

I think it would be fun to enter the upcoming denim contest with a low-key, well-known pair like a 3Sixteen ST-100x, Nudie Grim Tim orange selvedge, or Sugar Cane 1947.

I got a weird one for y'all.

is it in bad taste to wear pinup girls on a shirt?  I've noticed this trend on a few Gitman shirts and Japanese brands.

i can see how loads of slub, pink weft, and super loose woven 25 oz are a bit too much (or, for me, way too much)...but what's wrong with left hand twill?

I think he's just throwing that in as an example of trying to randomly cram every possible feature into a pair of jeans, hoping one or more of them will be enough to get someone to buy them.

erm... some fashion-denim nonsense among a bit of common knowledge. Crap like this is how urban myths spread

Tip #4: To get simple spot stains out like splatter from pasta sauce, wet wipes work wonders.

I thought PRPS used pasta sauce as a technique to make their pre-distressed jeans so shitty looking.
