Patches, Pins, and Buttons

[GraemeE]

Picked up this WW2 era panther for cheap on ebay and I'm thinking I'll sew it on to breath some new life into the brown SJ trucker

I’m gonna have to post up my pin board on here. I got a couple neat ones from the recent Self Edge Austin store opening party.

I tried to get a good pic of my pin board but it was tough to get them all in good lighting without reflections etc on my iPhone.

They gave out these cool denim jacket and pants pins at the opening.

I started collecting pins because they’re small and easy to collect. Each one has a little story behind them. Some are gifts but most are collected personally.

Edit:

Here’s some quick close ups

@Danimal506 so much going on here - very rad

[Danimal506]

@Inorganic Thanks!

Also killer avatar pic. That movie is wild

[Inorganic]

@Danimal506 yeah man! You have good taste (in pins AND movies) (and lest we forget threads as this is the IH forum…)

Another late night ebay impulse buy

[Mizmazzle]

@GraemeE cool patch. What’s the story behind this one?

[GraemeE]

@Mizmazzle I believe it was for an air force special ops unit in vietnam

Also had my eye on this one but i only need so many patches....

[Mizmazzle]

@GraemeE oh that one is wicked!!

[Matt]

Hell yeah. Hope I can beat @Oaktavia to that one.

@Matt that one is so sick

Same seller as the black magic one - they are surprisingly affordable at around $10 shipped - only catch is it takes around 4 weeks to get in the mail

That seller has a TON of Vietnam era patches. Some of them look familiar from a couple of my dad's old things from that time period. He was in Vietnam from about '68-'71. There's a guy at the flea market here in Nashville that used to have tons of things like that as well. I haven't seen him there for the last 6 months or so, though.

I have so many patches and pins and such. I love putting patches together on jackets and bags.

Bring her up!
I might’ve shared this pin before, but it’s one of my favorites around this upcoming time of year.

BONER Ghost!

[Oaktavia]

@Anesthetist LOL I tattooed a ghost with a boner on my roommate one time. It had more of a pitched tent though, not a mini ghost. That pin is sick though.

Also, you ever hear of the epic, four guitar band from Nashville called Diarrhea Planet? They were fucking awesome.

Diarrhea Planet- Ghost with a Boner

[Anesthetist]

@Oaktavia that’s awesome

I do know of them, they played at a bar in Morgantown one time. I dont remember much of it though….
