Please post your coolest found pins and patches and also your coolest patch pin applications!

in b4 someone posts some stupid fashion brand's 900 dollar pins.

...

this some shit everyone's seen but they're the coolest/so fucking sinister






Here is stuff you can buy

I used to have an Students for a Democratic Society pin when I was in UG. I think it's probably somewhere in my room back at home. I should find it and wear it or get a backpack to put it on or something.

I feel like I should take my Comune jacket I don't wear anymore, find those patches and get a bunch of metal patches and just make a battlejacket.

lmk where to source the psyops patches if you ever find any lmao
Doesn't seem like they were ever publicly distributed (obviously I suppose)

Lets go into business together making repro psyops patches Eddie.

looks like trevor paglen does some sorta project with them, don't know if he produces any. The octopus patch ^ I first saw on his IG: https://instagram.com/trevorpaglen/

Some more information from a quick search

Yoooo I'm so hyped on patches and pins lately, we should organize a ct patch or pin run or something wouldn't that be sick

There are so many I want but I'm on my phone and in excruciating pain so I'm not gonna go find them and upload and instead am only gonna post the damn $21 patch



Also

pretty please add the retailers when you have charming patches/pins because I feel like they all have weakass brand identities that I can never remember.

I believe had a hookup on an embroidererer.

Though frankly I'd prefer a pin because I don't know what I can attach patches to given my ancient age. I guess my tennis/gym gear.

Can someone who understands the physical world explain how to sew these on. What manner of needle do I need? The big one? The small one?

Misery and regrets is at ball and chain co, here http://ballandchainco.com/products/mise ... rets-patch seriously good patches here, I also really like the beauty and fuck forever patches, peach one is pretty too

Dog patch is here http://pricetapes.storenvy.com/products ... tch-famous

Really love this rose pin, looking for a jacket with a lapel just so I can wear it lmao, good store in general too http://sadtruthsupply.com/collections/1 ... -lapel-pin moth pin is also nice

But srsly please don't buy them all cuz I feel like they sell out pretty fast and I wanna buy a bunch soon :(

would appreciate a source on this:

This thread is great

Details under here

.

Schia and I are both into this embroidered pin company called Macon & Lesquoy. They are sometimes a little twee, but their work is very charming and colorful.

oh, forgot about this one


Thought I might post some stuff re: placement of patches too. Seems like its an opportunity to do something interesting too

patches and pins ive got on my bag



idk what to do with this one

I've collected a few vintage pins and buttons from thrift stores over the last few years:











Also this is my favorite patch:



And here's my first embroidery project, a patch modeled after Supreme's rugs and pins from a few years back. Not sure where to sew it onto though.

My collection (smaller than I remembered)



Just ordered (Big Bud Press rules, support them):

cool instagram account that posts lots of pins and sometimes patches and stickers

what would you put it on

I've had this thrifted jacket for years. I've slowly made little modifications. The first was to steal some of my dad's soviet pins and add 'them to the front.



Later on I added "kakistocracy" to the back.



I think the patch would go nicely on the back left near the bottom.

Eh? Eh?

i've got a really large collection of pins at the moment and as i find where i pinned them on (lol) i'll try posting them

two that have been in regular rotation pinned to my cardi: pin version of the no gods that eddie previously posted, and the valley cruise x gym burgerisms pin based off the classic burger king logo

as a former girl scout i am exceptionally invested in the PATCHES AND PINS movement



all the things i think you or i should buy



extensive amounts of time spent talking to people about pins and patches, scouring the instagrams of various Cool Kids to find brands, trawling Etsy, obsessive fashion-blog and fashion-forum reading, scrolling through Pinterest for years

what are cool things to put patches on

i kind of want to put a bunch of them on this red wool overshirt ala

but is there any way to do it without the rapey connotations that are old men in red jackets at boy scout outings

you're not old yet, you can do it
