This is fa af, but kind of edgy

I had friends in high school who painted their jackets with acryllic paint
they were roofie-popping dipshits if they could do it then it shouldn't be too hard to figure out
I used to go to oxbloodoi.eu for inspiration (this is circa 03/04) but just checked and the site is down

Also, requesting the designer that painted simple words like "Money" and "Help" on heavy canvas coats in big black letters.

I believe he was from Romania, though I'm not sure.

I think blackmeans kind of nails the look.

>>10608518
i want this for under a grand help senpai

>>10608520
I did some searching. The gallery is not on waybackmachine, sadly. However you might want to check out the photo gallery on their facebook. It has a lot of different jackets on there.

I'd post the direct link, but 4chan's spam filter is dicking me pretty hard right now.

>>10608544

Whoops, almost forgot, their facebook name is Oxbloodoishop

>>10608547
yeah those are the pics
well there were a lot more; like 4 or 5 hundred more
but they were cool: beaten to hell and clearly loved to death

>>10608502

I'm going to go even edgier senpai.

Here, I present to you the jacket that I've owned since the start of my edgy teen years.. It's basically a compilation of all the bands that I've listened to over the years, each represented by a hand drawn logo.

There used to be edgy patches and edgy buttons on it, but I've decided to hide those in a multitude of spots and hangouts that hold meaning to me. Kinda miss my Type-O Negative patch though.

Now with edgy front.

>>10608603
Don't put yourself down; that jacket's a timepiece. you did good with the King Diamond logo, dude

>>10608535
lol good luck

>>10608615

Well, it's not exactly putting myself down, as much as, stating the obvious.

I love that jacket immensely though.

Plus, everything about the jacket reminds me of good things. The damages, the drawings(done in a variety of settings), the size(it runs a little big on me, nowadays).

>>10608689
Contains some Basquiat.

>>10608696

>>10608589
lovin that modest mouse. my favourite album by them and one of my favourites of all times is the lonesome crowded west

''finished'' this jacket last week.

>>10609603
It's the band that dragged me through most of my life. Have you listened to the new album?

>>10609715
Pretty damn nice, what'd you use to paint it with?

>>10609782
i used spraypaint (mtn 94 i hhad laying around) to stencil the big parts on it (aswell as the dark red), and white acrylic paint to ad small details that i had to leave out to make it a stencil, and to do the Skaven logo,

>>10608603
>mcr
really anon?

>>10609802
Wouldn't have thought that spray paint would've covered it sufficiently. I take it that you had to use multiple layers?

>>10609831
Yes, at some point in my life, I listened to MCR. It didn't last long, but it lasted long enough to write it on my jacket. Moreover, it's not just MCR, the list goes on, and it's all been written down on my jacket.

>>10609872
depends on the spraypaint you use, MTN is made for painting graffiti, so its made to cover better and dry fast too. its not you avarage craft store paint.

Made this sweater last week.

I can make you one with no profit for 60 $

>>10609910
you look like jillian

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3K6q2HmIEsQ

>>10609922
lol its not me its just a model im a dude

>>10609932
you pick shitty models

>>10609782
yeah. i liked a lot of the songs, as they reminded me of their newer stuff which is what i got into first and still like a lot, but all in all it was alright. what'd you think?

>>10611551
When it first dropped I had this oddly intense emotional response. Then on subsequent listens I had to really assess whether or not I liked it because of my attachment to the band as a whole or because of the quality of the album itself.

Finally I decided that it's not their best album by a long shot, but that it has some great songs on there, that do have their place in some moments of my life. 'Pups to Dust' immediately springs to mind as a song that resonated well.

The songs that they demoed on festivals in the two years before the album released are also pretty fucking great. Too bad 'Poison the Well' wasn't on this album, would've loved to hear a studio version.

I guess I'm just glad that they're still producing and that I can dig their new stylistic direction.

>>10611645
How did u do this effect?

I did baby's first tshirt iron on for my Halloween costume, pic related.

Definitely going to wear this shit, can't say the same for the pink pants though

>>10611612
oh god pups to dust is fucking fantastic. i'm excited for what the future holds for them

>>10611683
Ripped it off tumblr.

Although I can ensure you that everything that is needed for the graphics is a lot of stamps and some ink. The coat is probably a cotton or cotton/linen blend.

To get ink to bleed, a bit of rain is all you really need, so stamp yo shit and go play outside on a rainy day.

tfw having to hot glue patches on hats because no sewing skills.

>>10609932
That's not a professional model, no, too high body-fat percentage and not a sufficiently distinct face

>>10611683
looks like someone wrote on it with black sharpie then put it in a pot of tea to boil for a bit

>>10611683
>>10611735

It's a pilgrim's coat, they're Buddhist. And yeah, it's just stamped cotton. The ink is also just the regular ink used for writing and calligraphy.

painting on jackets is only as effay as the person doing the painting. shitty ideas, edgy themes, making the design too clean are all killers.

sadly, the comme des garsons one posted above has the right idea stylistically, minus their brand name.

was in joshua tree and saw someone selling painted milsurp parkas/jackets. it was a good look, but again, i thought the themes were lame; it looked super coachella-core, indian/hindu/mystic themes and symbolism, hipster "X"s and shit. will prob sell well to girls 14-34, but kinda lame overall.

my point: white paint on jackets is pretty rad if you know what you're doing. i think OP's image is kinda lame, not because of the humour, but because of the tight/clean aesthetic. the same design with plain/simple brushed letters would make it look more spontaneous and less tryhard.

be spontaneous and carefree or it looks totally lame.

dope

Cut off this print from the tee and now gonna stich it onto a crewneck.

Right now I have them pinned in place to a piece of cardboard but idk how I would get the needle underneath to stich.

Any suggestions for how to do this?

>>10611910
Uhh... what?

Are you saying you drove the pins into the print, the crewneck and the cardboard like they were nails?

Because that's not how pins work.

If I misunderstood, disregard anything that I've just said and answer me this: Why did you also pin it to cardboard?

>>10611946
I pinned it to the cardboard too, to keep it stretched out. Otherwise it would just crumple up. The pins aren't actual pins, they are just us pins. Did I fuck up?

>>10611969
Push pins*

I don't know how else I would keep the print taught enough to stich it easily

>>10611979
By using actual sewing pins, or safety pins or even sewing needles.

Please, do me a favour, look up a simple sewing tutorial on YouTube and learn to sew a litte before you do this project. Just practice on the t-shirt scraps and sew them together.

Then, do this project properly, it does not have to be immaculate, far from it even, a bit messy would look good for this type of print.

Thing is, I like your idea, I like your print, I like it even more on a nice crew. Are you going to sew it on the back, cause the size lends itself well for a back print.

>>10611910
>>10611969
>>10611979

Two more things:

1. where is the shirt from?
2. post some fucking results after you're done.

Now, go forth and spread your retarded little wings, anon. I'm rooting for you.

>>10611825
I disagree, clean hand-drawn designs show a bit of care and thought for both the garment and the things you stand for or care about. Being passionate about things isn't tryhard. Neither is carefully personalizing a jacket, that will last a long while, in a way that inspires personal pride.
Although themes such as personal freedom do connect better to some messiness

Thematically, I do agree with you though, that not any stupid theme works. Especially not something as broad as a Hindu deity.

Thinking of starting screen printing my own designs, anyone know where I can go to buy decent supplies for this?

>>10612042
Alright. I was just making do with what I had since I'm poor af right now, but that still sounds pretty cheap. I hadn't even considered practicing before I do this which is retarded now that I think about it. Probably will go with the back patch too.

So I guess I'll start with gathering supplies and watching those videos. Ty slightly demeaning-teacher-anon

>>10612186
Oh and didn't see your second response.
1. The tee is an Avey Tare's Slasher Flicks tee, the crew I have now is some shitty old thing I thrifted for like $.25. I might just wait a bit and buy a reigning champ crewneck or something higher quality
2. Will do

>>10612186
Hey, can't have my friendliness showing too much. That's like the 4chan equivalent of walking around with an open fly.

also, see >>10612063. mostly because you didn't answer my question, but also for the other things.

>>10612197
Beat me to it.

Thanks.

>>10612221
>not walking around with your fly open ironically

>>10608494
Battlevest that I've been working on, I took some patches off the front to replace them with other bands but here's what I've got so far. I intend on studding it eventually.

>>10612571
I also need to remove some patches and sew them on so that they aren't crooked.

>>10612571
I'm curious, do you have any fitpics with this vest?

>>10608696
>>10608700
Is this by a designer or a legit diy?

Im on the edge of going to the local thrift and pick one of these up, they got a similar one.

>>10612571
>>10612576
h-hail Satan of elohim!

>>10612576
honestly, learn how to sew. this just pisses me off.

>>10609715
so clean it doesnt even look diy

>>10614040
'cause gaining experience from doing lots of DIY projects is a bad thing how?

>>10614483
Your brain added the negative touch to that dudes comment.
Do you dislike the result that much yourself?

>>10613881
The coat is not by a famous designer by any means. Nor are the drawing on the coat. The only thing to come even close to a designer's hand in the final product is the fact that Basquiat drew one of the things(or actually TWO) on there, The rest is just random tags and messages on a white leather coat, drawn in what was probably paint marker.

>>10614771
Not the guy you replied to, but DIY does have a certain ring(aesthetic & connotation) to it. If something does not look like its DIY, but it appears in a DIY thread, it would seem like it does not have the same aesthetic, this could be seen as criticism.

Furthermore, DIY is a very easy way to make a claim to authenticity, just look at all the muslims that have been hand-copying their Islams over the last few centuries.When you call it's "DIY-ness" into question, you're invalidating the claim to authenticity.

Can you guess where authenticity plays a very important role? subcultures, some more than others.

At least, that's my take on it. Then again I should've studied to be a welder instead of an anthropologist.

Boro patching is pretty /fa/

Currently fading a French worker jacket.

>>10617201

dope, got pics?

>>10608494
Had some chinos that fit great but I never really worse cause they were beige and it's just not my color
So dyed them black and gonna wax em tomorrow just to try it out

>>10618201
Did you manage to dye them fully black? How, did you get the pants to absorb all that pigment?

>>10619108
I was wondering the same thing. I would of thought they would of turned like a weird purple color

>>10611750
I ain't even the guy who posted but what the fuck is your point? Did he ever claim she was a "professional model"? Do you fancy yourself sherlock holmes because you could tell that she isn't a pro model? fucking twat

bump

>>10619108
>>10619119
you use the same concentration raatios marked in the package

a bath in hot water helps the fibers to separaate a bit thus allowing better dye absorption, read the packages

Started work on my crust / scab jeans last night.

They still need a lot more done to them but I'm pretty happy with what they're looking like so far.

I have a black crew neck sweatshirt how do I replicate holes like these?

>>10608535
lol never, NEVER
these go for ~$4000 used ones maybe $3000 if you're lucky

>>10620302
I saw a korean guy wearing a red one in front of DSM in London ;_;

>>10620104
looks awesome, gr8 work anon

>>10620246
start a fight with someone with a knife

>>10620246

That is the gayest thing since the first /fa/ggot walked the earth.
You use a razor blade/exacto knife and do light cuts in semi hacking yet precise motion. Ever had a barber cut your coiffure with a straight razor and a comb? Think similar to that. But again, don't. That shit looks gay as fuck.
Here's an idea, try getting into trouble and running from the cops like I did in middle school when I would TP houses with my friends, you will get wear on your clothes naturally and it wont be so fucking gay.
If you're an adult asking this question, you need to reevaluate your life choices.

I can't agree with you more, edgelord teen-teir ITT

Anyone here use sewing machines?
I have a winter coat that needs the sleeves tightened but I haven't sewn anything in over a decade. I'm a little nervous about trying to work on it but I have a machine and it's not worth paying a tailor to fix. My biggest concern is the material breaking needles if its too think, but it doesn't seem that bad.

Does anyone know where I can make my own clothing label that is sewn onto clothes? For example, the Carhartt label on this beanie.

>>10611825
>i think OP's image is kinda lame, not because of the humour, but because of the tight/clean aesthetic.

yep.

>>10612571
Don't put studs on it.

>>10621296
I run a moderately successful brand and use http://customwovenlabels.com/ for woven labels.

>>10621525
thanks for the link, but damn, looks like they have a minimum order of 100.

>>10621678
commit to something and do it big scale bruh it will be cheaper and the rewards will be greater

>>10611825
Is this effay?

>>10622167
yes

>>10622184
I'd do it if I rode a bike.

>>10622167
yes, but i'd also remove that logo. or paint the area under "dipshit" to hide it.

>>10622167
i'm going to paint on the side of my car "BUY A MUFFLER, ASSHOLE"

>>10620619
Thanks :))

absolute fuccboi to diy shit, but I saw pic related ages ago and was really impressed with how it came out
>>/fa/thread/S10301895
anyone done something similar in the past/have further counsel?
was just going to get a couple cans of that spray paint and do up a solid aa shirt or something

>>10608523
Pics?

>>10621814
i literally just want to buy a carhartt beanie and replace the label for something else I think looks better lol

>>10622670
don't have any, wish I had.

All I remember about the designer is that he mainly painted olive drab, white and black coats. The paints he used were either white or black. He described the words he painted on his coats as everyday phrases about major issues and worries, things he often overheard on the streets.

Anyone got an idea?

>>10622628
>>>/fa/thread/S10301895

i am suprised he got so much detail on that thing without it bleeding.

I am going to try this tomorrow for sure
