How many patches do you think one can put on a jacket? I ask this because I've come up with an interesting idea, based on this video about one of my favourite ersatz film genre:
Just replicating Ryan Gosling's Drive jacket is probably too easy and doesn't quite cover the sort of breadth I want. Before I came up with the idea, I trawled Letterbox' lists multiple times for movies with characters that are most often considered "Literally Me" (and if Letterbox' search engine actually worked in a sane way, it'd probably have just been once. So, here's the idea: Buy an M65 Jacket and start by adding patches to make it look like the one Travis Bickle wears throughout Taxi Driver. But I don't stop there. I trawled through the list of the 46 most-tagged films. I looked for films that Etsy showed had patches inspired by the films in question, and I plan to put patches representing as many of the films as possible. And noticing that there's two extremes for how benign or extreme they can be, I decided to put them into two categories. Maybe have the more benign examples on the left side, and the more extreme on my right. Here's the examples I could find:
More benign:

More benign:
- Drive (the scorpion back patch will be included)
- Blade Runner (and 2049) [I'd like to add one over the collar that says "Cells interlinked within Cells interlinked", but I guess if I really want it, I'd have to commission it myself.]
- The Batman 2022
- Donnie Darko [Definitely one with the 28:06:42:12 on the arm)
- Her
- The Lighthouse
- Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
- Neon Genesis Evangelion
- Big Lebowski
- Watchmen
- Taxi Driver
- American Psycho
- Fight Club
- Joker
- A Clockwork Orange
- Falling Down
- Scarface
- GoodFellas
- John Wick
- Shining
