Battle Jacket Showdown Returns
Think your jacket tells the most badass story on board? Prove it. Our panel of denim-loving, patch-worshipping metalheads will be judging your battle vest based on creativity, commitment, and pure, unfiltered chaos.
Points will be awarded for:
-
Patch game (rarity, placement, quantity, and quality)
-
Personal flair (spikes, studs, chains, bloodstains—we’re not picky)
-
Theme/story (cohesion counts—bonus if it tells a tale of your metal journey)
-
Overall attitude (does your jacket scream “I survived 13 pit injuries and still kept moshing”?)
Whether it's stitched with love or held together by safety pins and spite, bring your best—and may the most brutal jacket win.
Submissions are due by 6:00PM EST on Monday, September 22nd, 2025.
NEW THIS YEAR!!
