My Punk Jacket! :D

Okay so it's Summer AND we're in quarantine, so I can't show off my jacket in person anymore for a long while ;-; so i'm going to share it will all of you!! Also it has so much history, people are always asking me about where I got certain buttons, why i have certain buttons/patches/writing/drawings etc etc and I love talking about it so here it is!


 
First of all, look at this awesome graphic I made in my Digital Tools class this last Fall Semester. This is high on the list of Best Art Pieces I've Ever Made.

Okay, so here is the beauty IRL:

 
 
 
I got this jacket at a thrift store in 2013 or 2014 and I have been building onto it ever since. I'm pretty sure it only got washed two or three times at the most in 2014 then never again, so it smells like sweat and beer and weed and punk shows, it's nasty i love it. (the smell isn't that strong at all btw, it's only if you put your face into it and REALLY try to smell it, which like why would you want to do that anyway...)

So the graphic I made for class covers a few things here and there about my jacket, but I wanna go more in depth because some of these things have great stories, man!!

 

 
So these were my first EVER buttons. The "Kiss Me I'm Punk" button was given to me by my aunt back in 2013 when I was getting really into being Emo and into the local Punk Scene. "Not Saved" is a button I got from Hot Topic and cuz I'm a Breakfast Club nerd I recognized that it was the button John Bender has pinned to his glove, even though I don't know if it was supposed to be a direct BFC reference: 
 

 

 

 
The marriage equality button was from my very first Pride Parade, it was in Sacramento, and it was before Gay Marriage was legalized in the United States. I can't remember if it was Summer 2013 or 2014 that I went, probably 2014. And the rat is from this artist, Robin Kaplan, @thegorgonist on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/thegorgonist/), from when I visited her booth at an anime convention in 2018 (i think). She has soo many cute rat pieces, I got a keychain lanyard from her too with a bunch of rats on it :3 
 

 
This is what I call my "time to piss my extended family off at get togethers" section of my jacket (not like the rest of my jacket wasn't an abomination to them LOL). The they/them pin is very recent, it was given to me by a friend this last year. The "Everytime You See A Rainbow, God is Having Gay Sex," button I got at a Zombie Walk fest here in Sacramento, I fukin love that button lol. 

Then there's Jesus saying he'll be right back. That button was given to me i think somewhere around 2016-2017, I was a Sophomore i think in High School, and it was a Senior who was a TA for my history class who had given it to me, and it was the last day of school and he came up to me and was all "dude, you're so cool, and I love all the buttons on your jacket, i want to contribute to your collection before I graduate and never see each other again," and he let me pick any button i wanted off his backpack and that was like the coolest thing ever at the time lol. 

My CCA pin, the art school i go to/went to. And then the Church Clothes patch my mom got for me from Evangeline's in Sac :3

 
 
 
Janis ♥ got her in San Fran right before I started living down there for school, she's such an inspiration to me. And the Rat Patrol patch is from a friend who lives in Chicago and she always is finding rat patches/post cards for me there since they have such a rat problem in the subways lol
 

"Kill Drinking Culture!!!" Just me being StraightEdge lol. I don't remember what happened to make me so angry but something got me fired up and i scribble this on my jacket in the heat of a moment. It was most likely something about my extended family or a 21+ show. Drinking culture has ruined everything, I hate it. 
 

 
Okay these are some fun stories.

First of all, I always try to have safety pins on me. Having safety pins on this jacket has been the smartest thing I've done in my life. One time at school the button of my jeans popped off and I almost didn't have pants for the day but i had safety pins on my jacket to take its place!! and one time i was in an elevator and this girl's dress broke, it was either the zipper or the strap, and ta-da safety pin saved the day again!

Okay so the TV pin is new, it's from my Digital Tools teacher, Josh Ellingson (
https://www.instagram.com/ellingson.cc/). One of my favorite teacher's I've had to date, he was so chill and the class was a lot of fun. 

I got the Roni patch at a thrift store with my roommates in the Mission District and we thought it was the funniest thing cuz they call me Roni (Rice-a-Roni) all the time and I thought it'd be cute to have, so there it is. Makes me think of my friends :3 The Too Cute To Care button is from one of those friends for my birthday!

My Frank Iero button!! Got it during the Stomachaches tour in 2015. I went all the way to Seattle, Washington to see him since all of the California dates sold out and I was having a mental breakdown and my parents were like okay we will take you to see Frank if it'll make you happy plz stop being sad. lol. 

My AC/ES button!! From one of my favorite High School English teachers :3 She was, like, one of my only friends at that school. I was having a really hard time, getting bullied real bad, and I'd always escape to her classroom to hang out with her. She gave me this button saying she thought of me when she saw it and I thought that was super fukin sweet. She still does that from time to time, recently she found an Exploited flag for me at a thrift store. 

 
 
 

another patch from evangelines!! i lovee bob's burgers, and louise is such an icon, i love her, i aspire to be her. 
 

My homeless gospel choir patch!! I need to redo it lol but i made this a couple years back, i fukin love that band, i love derrick. the pin on there says "Midterms are Sexy," got it at the San Fran Zine fair this last september, it's talking about Midterm Elections and they ARE super sexy and you should totally vote in EVERY ELECTION if you're over 18!!!! 
 
 

another patch that i made :D here's the insp:
 
 

 
Now for the patches on my sleeves: 
 
 
 
"I could tell you, but then you would have to be destroyed by me," this is from a big book about secret governement airforces and their patches that they'd wear, got it from a used bookstore in Berkley. It's such an awesome book and they had this patch on the cover. (This is the book) Then my sweet Fall Out Boy patch, got that from the first aftershock I ever went to in 2014, there was a big booth of patches for sale. I don't think they even do things like that anymore. The last few aftershocks i went to they didn't have all those cool booths :/ And my san francisco pride patch, i don't remember the year but it was a while back ago, and it was randomly not during pride. got it in san fran tho. 
 
  
 
sooo many pockets and they're so huge!! there's over 5 years worth of sh*t in these pockets. every once in a while i got through them and take things out, but there's a lot of things in there that are old memories and then useful concert stuff like a portable charger, and usually i have some ear plugs in there. sharpies too to tag things, but you didn't hear that 0-0.
 
 

the inside! (also, if you're still reading this, i applaude you lmao). I drew these things a lonnnggg time ago, i think in 9th or eary 10th grade? i remember drawing this heart tree thing in art class around then and getting obsessed with the idea and drawing it everywhere. also writing living/dying everywhere. I think it was a subconcious message of encouragement to myself, that i'm still living, i'm still growing, things are going to get better maybe. then on the pockets is a hercules' reference. "Want a watch?/ Want a sundial?"
 
 

Okay, and lastly, I'll talk about the back a bit. I found the Good Charlotte and Jimi Hendrix patches on Telegraph Street in Berkely this last year from these crazy old hippies, they had a whole booth of cheap/free patches it was awesome. I went to a gas station recently and this older woman working the counter saw that GC patch and got all excited and started telling me about how much she used to love GC and Green Day and going to warped tours! 

And then I made my Rat King back patch. It used to be a "Punk's Not Dead" thing and I just kinda grew out of it and I had a bunch of rats at one point and I became a Rat Dad and yeah. I love it. And I made the Leathermouth patch too! Just this last year, it turned out so good ahhh :33

okay so that's my jacket and i love it so so much and i'll cherish it foreverrrrr!!! it makes me miss going to shows when i see it, so many memories of shows and people and places ;-; i hope to wear it and add more to it soon. to end this, here's a picture of me in my jacket with derreck zanetti:

did you really friend me again just to say that? idk man, pretty sure me being a punk and making a jacket makes it a punk jacket. sincerley, someone who doesn't give a shit 🤷

p.s. why don't you try listening to some leathermouth and homeless gospel choir and stop feeling so rightous about yourself and then maybe we can go punch some nazis together.
