Who's got a patch jacket?

Old ones will remember the prestige of having a well adorned patch jacket in the early years.

Does anyone here have a patch jacket anymore? If so, post a pic or two. Doesn't have to be an "old" patch jacket, or even a jacket. If you have an article of clothing or a flag or something else to which you sew paintball patches, post here.

I am about to begin on the mother of all patch jackets. I have been accumulating event patches since I rejoined the sport and also purchasing a few long sought treasures on ebay and I think I am almost ready to begin sewing. It may take me a year to sew all these and the blood stains are going to be everywhere, but ye can't let yer ma sew yet patch jacket, can ye?

Anyway, let's see your (sewed) patches. I DO NOT want to see a whole pile of patches and a jacket. That is what I have and I am looking for inspiration not more lazyness. I've got enough lazyness of my own.



Cheers,
D.

PS: Listessa; you needn't post any pics of your project... you can unveil them at Castle if you want.

Big Matt has one, complete with flag capture patches down the arm. I'll look and see if someone got a picture at the Paint Wars scenario game last November.

**EDIT**
Nope, not a shot of it. Maybe Matt will find time in his hectic schedule to drop by and post a picture.

I have one that's all patches either of guns I've owned or scenario's I've played. I'll have to get the camera batteries charged up and get some shots for you.

I bought a Hoffmann Jersey last year and finally made a patch jersey. However I hadn't thought of taking pics of it. Guess I know what I have to do tomorrow. That and I have another dozen or so patches to sew onto it still.

I have a camo BDU top that has patches sewn on to it. Not tons of patches mind you, since I got into paintball only in 1999 so patches weren't as common (you don't get them when you buy a gun from anywhere other than PPS nowadays, and most events do t-shirts).

I also have the hawaiian CC patch on my hawaiian shirt, so I had to sneak that into the photo as well.

To go truly old school you have to choose your base wisely...either a tiger stripe BDU top, or a stone washed denim jacket.

I'll have to pull my jacket and take some pics, but my normal playing jacket is a sleve cut BDU with lots of patches.

I never thought I'd get close to filling the damn thing up, but I'm running into serious space issues.

Cool pics, thanks guys.

Robertsr, what is the origin of that "Typhoon" patch. It looks familiar, but I cannot recall where I have seen it before.

Space-wise, I will be using a full length orange coat that I got from a former Con Edison employee. Apparently, these were part of a wearable defense against electrocution, but the coat itself appears to be nothing more advanced than denim.
