It is I, patched-up-pants, and I bring you some patched-up pants! These were not my first, nor will they be the last, for I have already begun works on yet another one, but they are most certainly my favourite pair to date. Although they took months to sew alone, I still enjoyed adding each and every one of the patches, except anything around the crotch, like the Siouxsie eyes, vice squad, or hole - that portion is the devil. The base itself is a pair of slim-fits I bought in Cropp so long I cannae even remember how many years it's been, while the patches have all been locally sourced (read: fabric purchased at a small, local fabric store) with the exception of one, which I had on my first jacket at, like, 15yo.

I am not full of certainty as to whether these can truly be referred to as 'crust' pants, for not only do they lack the singularity of being veiled solely in crust punk bands, but they additionally possess pieces related to topics outside of the punk scene, or even music entirely. Some are completely without theme actually; say, the ones on the cheeks. There appear images pertaining to manga, like Berserk, or MahoYome, various genres of punk, as well as metal, politics, especially on the bottom in the back, and even some more light-hearted tunes like Minami and Yorushika. Naturally, there are also ones whose entire vision is based more on the placement, rather than the substance of the patch itself, and those are all sexually charged to at least a noticeable degree; Analogs written right above the asshole, the target right On Top of it, Hole slightly below, or the Eyes right on the crotch, though those only become visible should the legs be spread a decent amount. If anyone believes these to be childish/immature, please, refrain from making that opinion known.

Also yes, the eyes are in fact ripped, and so is the Hole patch, however, that's a little more hidden.

‼️ METAL DISCOURSE TIME ‼️

I hate when deathcore albums have like, polished digital art for album covers. It ruins the vibes so hard

when I listen to metal it’s for something dark and violent. The music sounds like a circle of hell. World of Warcraft ass art does not convey that lol

like here’s some examples

I’m sorry but none of this gets the vibes right. This doesn’t look brutal it looks like a T for teen video game. It’s too polished and colorful, there’s no suspense to any of it it’s so matter of fact. So much is happening there and you see all of it in painstaking detail. It doesn’t feel any more scary than an MCU movie

but you know what does look good as an album cover? PAINTINGS

paintings are usually so much less perfect, and therefore add some flaws, it feels human and adds to the aesthetic so much harder. Also they tend to give a vintage vibe which adds a near gothic amount of weight to it. like

This is so much sexier and feels so much spookier than digital art of a big monster or wtv. Oil paint and dark tones is just the perfect vibe for a metal albums I’m sorry.

to be clear also i don’t mean hate on any of the artists. Ppl who make that digital art have an ungodly amount of talent, I just don’t think it matches well w heavy music.

also I don’t even listen to all the bands I used lol

Berserk remains my most favorite anime/manga ever

[patched-up-pants]

I believe I've shown this jacket to somebody on here before, but it matters little as it's one of my absolute favourite pieces to date and deserves to be shown off at any time/occasion. The base itself is an old Italian army jacket I found in a thrift store while on vacation 1.5y ago or so, at the same shop as the leather vest I posted some days back, no less. Comfortable, capacious, with sleeves of actually proper length and a snugly fitting drawstring at the waist, it makes for one of my most universal and most worn items in the closet.

The most eye-catching portion - the backside three-piece - was, surprisingly, not as difficult to make as I'd originally anticipated, which cannot be said of the little brand of sacrifice on the pocket. Sewing anything on a pocket is a nightmare one should never subject oneself to willingly unless one is a masochist. The little 'doodles' on the collar are supposed to be the eyes of the beast of darkness from berserk. And that not-fully shown patch on the right sleeve says '199', which refers to the Polish punk band 'Plagiat 199'.

have you ever heard a breakdown so filthy, it feels like it's slapping you in the face, running you over with a truck and throwing you down the stairs all at once or are you normal?

Guts

[iceskatingmobsters]

hey this just like showed up on my wall and I keep hearing weird noises outside and feel the need to grab a bigass sword should I be concerned???

[jackiejude]

do you ever look at a fictional character and think "yeah they would totally kin this other fictional character"

Ronan Lynch from The Raven Cycle would read Berserk and be like "omg Guts is literally me" and he probably has a Brand of Sacrifice tattoo
