THE_BATTLE_UNIFORM

Today marks the release of WALTZ-004-BTL, a concept I have been wanting to do for a while now. For me, my interest in garments & fashion in general started with sewing patches to pre-existing clothes I had & I love the idea of customising your garments to express your interests & passions.
​
A staple within heavy metal merchandise, the battle patch is synonymous with expressing one’s interests creatively with their garments however they see fit. For the next drop of 18x woven patches, pick what suits your style the best, use them however you want. Make your own garment.
I find myself creating graphics, logos & designs every day - but realistically not every design can see realisation as a wearable garment. As a result, creating woven patches not only fulfilled my inner desire for quality patches to express my interests, but it also serves as a smaller canvas for these ideas that don't make it to full garment.
This WALTZ will be an ongoing concept within Dungeon Crawler - allowing your bags / jackets / hats / jeans / hoodies (etc.) to evolve & change with you. I truly love the idea that everyone can create their on 1/1 using these. WALTZ-004-BTL drops will occur throughout the year, and will offer a little insight into current design schedules, and future possible releases.
For example, this drop references past Berserk concepts I had that I ultimately didn't use during WALTZ-002-BSK, and it may[?] hint at WALZ-???-EVA[?].
I hope that this overall concept / idea inspires you to start your own patchwork garment, collect items that mean a lot to you & hand craft something that you love to wear, knowing you had a hand in making it.
Please send me pictures via IG how you end up using them! I would love to see everyone's creativity & I'd love to make a showcase of what people have created using this drop.

I hope some of these patches resonate with you, and like always, thanks so much for reading & being apart of this. I hope you appreciate something a little different with this one - but don't stress - long sleeves are definitely on the way. Until then, enjoy these, I can't wait to see what you end up creating.
