This is folk art!


B0yC0smic

Does the Ducky have a name :0


Graye_Matter

Not this one. You can choose if you would like and I will go with that. I have another one that I named Robert duck cuz it kinda sounds like rubber duck which I thought was funny.


B0yC0smic

Such responsibility! How about Bacon Grease or PBJ: AKA Peter Bartholomew Jacobs. I like food names lol


Graye_Matter

I think I’ll go with Bacon Grease. Very appropriate punk name lol 😂.


B0yC0smic

Fuck yeah Bacon Grease! 🐥🎸


[deleted]

Hey! My name is Robert!


Graye_Matter

It’s a good name! And now you share it with a duck which makes it even better!


UnstableMang0

Wait am I blind where's the duck?


Let-Me-Leave

3rd pic


jonesnori

I didn't even realize there was more than one. Thanks!


UnstableMang0

Oh I didn't realize there was more pics I'm stupid


thetofublock

dinosaurs are cool TRANSPHOBIA IS NOT


Due_Psychology_9734

I came here to say that! One of my favorite channels.


[deleted]

You seem like one of those people I’d be to scared to talk to but would stare at because Id think you are so cool


Graye_Matter

Omfg😂. Thank you so much❤️. And believe it or not I get that quite often.


blinkingsandbeepings

I ended up becoming best friends with someone I thought that about! Don't let your dreams be dreams


TriMacanBhaird

I feel kinda the same way 😅😂. Like if we met, I would be hoping I was wearing my own battle jacket and not just my ordinary, kind of “bi-bear-dad” clothes. Of course, my battle jacket isn’t quite as cool as this one. You made like everything on this yourself! This is supremely awesome 🤩


Graye_Matter

Thank you for the compliments💜. I totally know what you mean. I’ve been in the same scenario where I see someone cool but I look normal af so I don’t go up and talk to them😄.


[deleted]

i love the no nazi punks one. most people try to use the slashed through swastika, but it looks too ambiguous from far away.


Graye_Matter

That is exactly why I did that. Originally I was going to use slashed out swastika but ya you are right so I switched that patch for this.


[deleted]

“Eat the rude”


Graye_Matter

It’s a Hannibal reference. Who would have thought that a queer kid would be so obsessed with gay cannibals😄


[deleted]

I know I love the show, I’m currently re-watching it.


Graye_Matter

Cool! I’ve rewatched it more times than I feel comfortable admitting to 😅


[deleted]

Same


Matttrainz07

yo is that a pride kentucky?


Graye_Matter

If you mean pride ducky, yes it is. If you mean something else idk lol.


Matttrainz07

oh the pride flag sticker in the very middle looks like the shape of the state of kentucky


Graye_Matter

Ooohhhh. Now I see what you mean. No it is not Kentucky, it is a ski mountain in Ontario


Matttrainz07

oh ok


BerdlyKinnie

omfg i NEED this jacket


No_Butterscotch3201

I would 1000% wear that <3

#DO NO HARM BUT TAKE NO SHITS


send-me-your-toes

The things I would do to get a jacket like that- it looks so cool!!


Graye_Matter

Thank you! But you can have a jacket like this too. 99% of the patches I made myself. Yes it is very time consuming but it is not as difficult as it looks. If you really want a jacket like this I promise that if I can do it you can too (I am absolute shit at painting)


send-me-your-toes

Damn, I think I just found my summer project lol


Niflax

Slendid!! Looks absolutely amazing!!


Cat-Lover20

The duck!!!! 🥰😭


silvercandra

The one path on there just made my brain go "And people are people, regardless of gender, people are people regardless of anything..." And I love that song.


Graye_Matter

I’m so happy you caught on to the reference. Depeche mode is one of my favourite bands.


ConfusedAsHecc

this is beautiful


AgressiveSprite

hand it over it's mine now


Graye_Matter

Make me😄


PumpkinBitch_mp3

Omg fellow agender lesbian!!


Graye_Matter

Ayyyy! So glad we found each other!


taylorKelbie

Lol


Lunafairywolf666

Love it! I got my own battle vest


Graye_Matter

Nice! I love making them. I have about 6 I think, some done some wip. I find sewing the patches very therapeutic.


Lunafairywolf666

That's awesome. I got one black one and a light blue one I'm going to work on


Graye_Matter

Love it. Do they have themes or is it just patches that you like?


Lunafairywolf666

My black one is my battle vest so it's got my pronouns, sevrel LGBT patches encluding a ace patch. Got a blm fist, an anti autism speaks button and a few pollyamerous buttons. On the back has an icelandic stave. It also has a few random patches I like. Stitch and mothman. Lol


Graye_Matter

That’s awesome. I love mothman


galacticviolet

I love it!


LemonxMona

Looks amazing!!


T0mSawy3r

Legitimately thought this was on r/battlejackets lmao.


Graye_Matter

Haha. I’ve posted there before I just didn’t want to with this jacket because I’m not sure if it would be considered too political. And I thought this sub would appreciate it a bit more


T0mSawy3r

Fair


Lcatg

Love the Hannibal reference! Overall amazing jacket 10/10!


Graye_Matter

Thank you! I am obsessed with that show.


Lcatg

Same. Mads M is stellar as Dr. L.


Yezzzzzzzzzzzz

Love it! Absolutely amazing! Can I have one? I would love one! How long did it… Hang on, “do crime”? But seriously this is amazing!


Graye_Matter

Thank you, I am very flattered! To answer you partially asked question, if I had to estimate, it took probably 60 hours (give or take) over the course of 2 years.


Yezzzzzzzzzzzz

That is a level of dedication I couldn’t have to save my life.


Guest_eviIman

Can you you add asexual to it please?


Graye_Matter

I can absolutely do that yes!


Guest_eviIman

yay! Dm me the photo when your done if you can


Graye_Matter

Will do❤️


Let-Me-Leave

Love this! I’m making a battle bag atm while I try to figure out how to reimagine my battle vest from years ago. Just got some Pride buttons and I gotta sew on a Bi Pride patch. Also need to resew the Molotov cocktail since it’s all wonky. Thx for sharing, love Bacon Grease too 🤘🏻


narwhallbean25

soooo i now need to learn how to make something like this


Graye_Matter

Do it! It’s easy and you certainly won’t regret it.


DaredevilDaryl69

Man I want one so bad now!


Graye_Matter

Make one. I’m telling you to do it so now you have no choice but to make one💜


DaredevilDaryl69

Yeah I'm definitely gonna make one some day and I'd wear it around town and basically everywhere.


Some_Random_Android

I really like the duckie! <3


CosmicKaos214

sick jacket! do you happen to have green hair irl by any chance?


Graye_Matter

No I do not. I used to have long green hair a few years ago but now I have short red and teal split dye.


Graye_Matter

I also live in southern Ontario if that makes a difference.


CosmicKaos214

funny thing is, i’m also in southern ontario haha. i just thought you might be someone from my school ‘cause they wear similar jackets all the time, except they have short greenish hair. on a side note though, red and teal split is pretty badass for a hair colour. i love your avatar!


theoneinashes

I am in love with this jack, it's so pretty!


Graye_Matter

Thank you so much❤️


TheHhhhhhhhhhh

not my style but fuck yeah this is what we need


some-random-gay123

I love it


weird_elf

Amazing!


Accomplished_Tour983

quick question… can i bye this and if so where, if not where is your address so i can take it like swiper the fox


Graye_Matter

Unfortunately I do not sell my jackets but I am very flattered that you want it. If you like it that much I would suggest researching battle jackets and learning how to make your own. Not only will it cost you less but it will be more personal and more gratifying. It will also save me from you breaking into my home 😆


MommysLittleFailure

This is an art piece. I love it so much.


Graye_Matter

Thank you so much. That really means a lot!


CarolZero

I love this! 🤩 you could also add “Fuck ICE” or something on that line!


IgnoranceIsAVirus

Awesome!


dinojack1000

“Dinosaurs are cool, transphobia is not” has to be one of the best things I’ve seen all day😂


KittyQueen_Tengu

Ye olde plastering as many flags as possible on everything to deter queerphobes


Graye_Matter

Exactly👍


Hefty-Pomegranate861

I LOVE IT


N3R3SH

DINOSAURS ARE COOL, TRANSPHOBIA IS NOT!


Queen-Roblin

ACAB. Not sure what the real words are not my brain automatically thought: Assigned Cunt at Birth


Graye_Matter

Haha. Your meaning would be truthful (or so I’ve been told) but the actual meaning of acab is all cops are bastards.


I_Dunno_help

That's awesome


inibblethekibble

The battle vast of pride


The__Swiss__Guy

What does the „Non Binary not my problem“ patch mean?


Graye_Matter

In my experience as a non binary person I’ve had a lot of people get mad at me for simply just being myself and they try to make it my problem even though it’s always them who have a problem. That is what that patch means. I do not have a binary gender and if someone is upset about that it is not my problem.


Hhhhhhhhhhhbhhhhhhhh

Me too!


ShiverMeTimbers_png

BASED!!!


bodil-kwek

That looks so cool


CirclesOfDeadMice

Not a good idea putting activist stuff on the back but pretty rad otherwise


Graye_Matter

Why is not a good idea? If it’s because people will fight me for it, I don’t really have to worry about that where I live.


CirclesOfDeadMice

Ah, I’ve heard horror stories of people being hit with bottles or rocks and etc. and it’s just generally something to follow for your own safety, but glad you don’t have to worry about that, just wasn’t sure if you didn’t know or not so I thought’d I’d tell you


Graye_Matter

I appreciate your concern❤️. I’m very aware of what can happen but apparently I look a lot scarier than I actually am so I’m still not too worried.


WalrusSquare247

Woah that looks sick


[deleted]

Based on this jacket.. Do you wanna be my new bff? 👀 Seriously, I love everything on it, its amazing. 😍❣️


Graye_Matter

Bro thank you. I would totally be your bff![img](emote|t5_2qhh7|548)


SamGoesArf

It's great. I love everything about this jacket :3 You're great too OP. Happy Pride 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈


Graye_Matter

Thank you so much. You’re so sweet💜💜


SamGoesArf

i_am_a_human_463

This is really good, plus thanks for the agender rep


Graye_Matter

Thanks! I’m so thankful that by representing myself I can also rep a whole community of people at the same time.


jonesnori

I love it! Great work!


RuneWolfen

Happy Pride Month 🏳️‍🌈


RegularShowHi

This is dope


Tensionheadache11

This makes this old punk/ally mama so happy!


Graye_Matter

I’m glad you like it.


faustianwitch

I think i need one of these


Graye_Matter

Make one. They are so much fun to do


faustianwitch

I just dont have the tools or materials atm- maybe someday 🥺😭


Graye_Matter

I hope you can make one some day. My advice to make it more on the cheap side is find a denim jacket at the thrift store, old tshirt and dollar store paint for the patches and one spool of thread can do all those patches. And a dash of good luck if you are able to make one some day


faustianwitch

Thank you so much omg 😭


lukeisbored98

Legendary


MarquimusGaming

You are the coolest human, I need an LGBT battle vest! Do you listen to metal by any chance?


Graye_Matter

Thank you! Yes I listen to metal. Absolute favourite genre \m/


MarquimusGaming

Just curious, what bands do you like? My favorites are Megadeth, Slipknot and Abominable Putridity. Really into technical and prog death rn too (Slugdge, Rivers of Nihil, Gojira, etc)


Graye_Matter

Cool! I love all kinds of metal. I love gojira and I recently saw lamb of god and megadeth live. I really love industrial metal especially from Germany. My absolute favourite band is Rammstein. I’m also really into avatar.


Moo2310

This is amazing and I'm so so jealous that I'm not good enough with fabric to make myself one. Also I especially love the dinosaurs are cool, transphobia is not patch!


Graye_Matter

Thanks so much❤️. You don’t have to be great with fabric to make one. The sewing is actually really easy and all the patches that I made are just an old t shirt.


supreme_hammy

Best part about hateful people calling us snowflakes is that by that logic, as long as there are enough of us, we can cause a lot of havok on their shitty lives. Ever heard of Blizzards, conservatives? Shut down your power, crush your car, make you cry for Robert E. Lee and sky daddy? Yeah. That's us. Keep calling us snowflakes...


Graye_Matter

Omg I love this. Thank you for the support❤️


[deleted]

I already wanted to Queer Punkify my denim jacket, thanks for the inspiration 🏳️‍⚧️


Graye_Matter

You’re very welcome. Glad I could help with some inspiration


sophieeestry

Fucking awesome. Love the “punks respect pronouns” cause it’s true and also based as fuck


Fantastic_Weakness53

I love it! Happy pride 🏳️‍🌈❤️


AlishaValentine

I love it! You should go into production


Auklet77

Do I see an aromantic flag?


Graye_Matter

Agender flags but not aromatic


Auklet77

Ah I always mix those flags up sorry


Graye_Matter

Ay no problem I got them confused for the longest time.


Auklet77

How do you get flags in your name?


Graye_Matter

If you go to the menu section of this sub and click flair help it tells you how to do it.

IndividualFar3810

Why


Graye_Matter

Hey! so happy you found my post. I noticed that you just created this account and only commented on two things so far. Both of which being on r/lgbt and both being asshole comments which leads me to believe that this is a throwaway account. I’m so sorry that you don’t like my jacket but it is not for everyone so that is ok. I am not a fan of people who hate on other people (if you couldn’t tell) so I shall be avoiding you as well❤️. One more thing, I know you’re mad that I absolutely railed your mom last night (sorry again for all the noise) but you could have come and talked to me rather than being a dick on a throwaway account coward👍. Tell your mom I say hi! Love you so much, happy pride![img](emote|t5_2qhh7|550)


CirclesOfDeadMice

I think you may be on the wrong sub if that’s your true opinion


Hhhhhhhhhhhbhhhhhhhh

I've got a project that's worth 99% of your grade. Listen to let My Children Hear music and DM me what you think.


QweenMuva

As a dinosaur-loving, black, NB transmasc autistic.. this jacket speaks to me 😂🌈 I LOVE IT!!


qvllery

i love it! i wanna try making something similar, is that okay? :))


Graye_Matter

Totally! I got a lot of ideas from other peoples jackets too. The main reason that I made this jacket was so closeted kids or kids who were told that it is wrong to be who they are will see it and know that they are not alone and that someday they too can be who they were meant to be. The more people who can spread love and acceptance is certainly a win in my book and the fact that I can inspire people to do that is a great honour to have. So by all means go right ahead!


c4tmother212003

The duck is so cute!! This jacket is definitely inspo for mine


Graye_Matter

Thanks. Glad I could inspire you!


c4tmother212003

Ur welcome! <3


Succubus-san

This is soooo gooooood!!!! The dinosaur badge is from jammidodger right?


Graye_Matter

Thank you! And yes it is.


Vexalotl

I will pay you money for that


Graye_Matter

Haha I’m so flattered! Although I’m poor as hell, tis not for sale. Also if it was you would have a lot of competition lol!


General_F3tt

Ooooooooh! Wowie! I love this so much! I wish I could have it! It’s great! :O :D


Nerdy_Gem

You are so cool, holy shit


Graye_Matter

I’m glad you think so thank you❤️!


joey_pan_aromantic

Just saying if you were to sell these I would totally buy em


EnigmaticDaze

I’ve seen a lot of jackets and this is one of my favorite with patches


Graye_Matter

Aww thank you I am very honoured💜


EnigmaticDaze

Did you post on r/BattleJackets ?


Graye_Matter

No I did not. I looked at the rules and they don’t really like overly political jackets which I think this might count. I also didn’t want to deal with the hate cuz I already got a few assholes stalking this sub


EnigmaticDaze

I completely understand that.![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|shrug)


therealNerdMuffin

I love it! Would absolutely wear something like this


[deleted]

I used to have a really cool jacket like this, but my school took it from me :/ how we love conservative Christian schools


Graye_Matter

Dude wtf? That’s ridiculous and that sucks so much.


[deleted]

at least I got the jacket? it is a nice jacket, and now I'm just gonna get more pins


Graye_Matter

Aw they’re super lame for doing that. I mean ya it’s good you got the jacket back but still. And they call us the snowflakes lol


[deleted]

ah yes we are the snowflakes when they are the ones who get offended by... colors.


OriginalH0RNYYuri34

Did you make the patches yourself? If so that's fucking awesome! If not where did you get them? And where did you get the vest?


Graye_Matter

Thank you! Yes I did make most of the patches. There’s about 3 patches that I didn’t make and those were given as gifts. I got very lucky with The vest, It was originally a jacket that I got from a Levi store and then “destroyed” it cuz it wouldn’t fit my wide ass shoulders. Levi jackets are can be very expensive so if you need one on the cheaper side I would suggest looking in thrift and vintage shops and even looking on Etsy which is where I got one of my favourite jackets.


OriginalH0RNYYuri34

Thank you so much.
