Battle jackets are a significant means of expression and subcultural identification for metal fans. There is a resurgent interest in folk art and craft amongst contemporary artists, some of whom are influenced by metal subcultures. This analysis refers to art practice and folk culture in order to situate the battle jacket within this tradition. First-hand experience of making jackets is fundamental to understanding their importance within the subculture. Thus the author references his own artworks as well as interviews with jacket makers undertaken in July and August 2014 at Sonisphere and Bloodstock music festivals, UK.
