battle jacket
Punk's decorated vest
A battle jacket is a denim or leather vest covered with patches, pins, and studs displaying band logos, album art, and other imagery—typically from metal, punk, or hardcore scenes.
Each jacket is uniquely customized over time, serving as a wearable declaration of musical allegiances and subcultural identity: His battle jacket had patches from every show he'd been to since high school.
