Damn, that's what my wardrobe is missing: battle armor.
If I find a top with a good material in the men's section, I take it in so it's more fitted around the waist and hips. I also patch up ripped stuff and darn socks. Once I tried to put a shoulder pen pocket on one of my flannels, but that was a mistake haha. I also have patches for most of my favorite bands sewn on a denim jacket, if that counts.
