lmao what the fugg
at least hem them you retard

>>11109801
They looked better before.

>>11109832
i didn't like how wide the shaft of the boot was. I couldn't fit my pants legs over them and they looked weird tucked in. I was considering taking them to a cobbler to have them slimmed and a zipper added but I only paid $20 for them and didn't want to put anymore money into them.

>>11109855
>I couldn't fit my pants legs over them

not surprising if you only have skinny ass jeans/pants or whatever that is in your 2nd photo.

I have a pair of these in the exact same color.

Might try to dye them black.

painted an old wranglers blue denim jacket black with acrylic paint and sew patches on each sleeve

>>11109807
Are those the tech stretch fit jeans from H&M? Mine are starting to fade and IDK if I like the fade :(

>>11109890
Fuck I forgot the pic.

>>11109930
how did you sew your patches ? I want to try on a jacket

>>11109930

this is actually pretty interesting. it would be cool if the paint cracks off over time in the creases. the patches where a good touch

>>11109801
>>11109807

shoe modifications are always iffy.
also something cool i stumbled upon from reddit (HOW TO GET STACKS)


https://www.reddit.com/r/streetwear/comments/4bakqp/how_to_get_them_holy_stacks_without_breaking/

>>11109930
i guess i mean rustler
>>11109963
with thread and needle... i use dual duty xp thread and a curved needle
>>11109971
i did a vest the same way and i gets a nice unique wear like leather over time, i may have to touch up a few spots tho, the denim soaks in alot of paint

>>11109971
stacks belong on reddit and so do you

>everyone posting these massive images

>>11109801
looks like shit

>>11110055
i know i suck

>>11110055

>>11109971
but this looks terrible

OP goes into defense mode trying to justify his decision.

>>11110160
you just don't understand. but one day you will. one dayyyyyyyyyyyy

>>11109807
cut off the straps

How do you rip holes in jeans without them looking like shit? I went at an old pair with a serrated knife earlier and they looked pretty alright, but the edges weren't frayed enough and they looked way too deliberate

>>11110273
dont use blades!
rub against concrete, or use a cheese grater, or actually wear your jeans 100% of the time

Bleached my old black converse all stars to make em this pinkish cream color. They were already scuffed and ripped up before that, not on purpose.

>>11110314
forgot pic excuse my shitty camera quality

>>11110291
I tried a cheese grater and it didn't do much, granted I was wearing them at the time

Why not use blades?

>>11109801
>>11109807


omg its a niger

you are fucking disgusting dude

oh yeah and the shoes look like SHIT.

Go get a job and buy some actual shoes you crackfiend

Pic related: do me a favour and finish grade 12

>>11109801
saw this on insta, nice

>>11109801
these look a lot better m8y, but i agree with the other guy that you should have hemmed them properly. that is just being nitpicky really, cool booties

>>11110319
this looks cool. process?

>>11109971
Why would you ever want your pants to look like that

>>11110561
You will need:
Step 1- Fill a tub or bucket with 1:2 bleach to water solution. Doesn't really matter how big the tub is as long as you can fully immerse your shoes in there
Step 2- Drop in your sneakies (minus laces) and give em a stir. You will see very quickly that the color starts to change from black to a rust brown color. I left mine in there for 30 minutes but this is probably not necessary.
Step 3- Take em out. Don't worry if they are bright orange still. Mine were too. Just put them somewhere sunny to dry. I just poured out the rest of my bleach on top of them after they dried a bit, but this might not be needed. What they really need is like 12 hours just to sit there and fade. Trust me, it takes a while.
Step 4- If they're still not pale enough for you after a day, hit em again with the bleach I guess. I didn't really know what I was doing, so this probably isn't the best way, but I like the end product anyway.

>>11110608
I almost copped a black old Nike hoodie from a thrift store to try doing this to, but was worried about the bleach eating the fabric out badly. How much wear did the bleach add? I don't want it to be threadbare after the first wash but a little is acceptable.

Also any other diy tips for shoes? I picked up some panda Nike sbs and am interested in fucking with them

>>11110671
I'll give that to you but that's also a lot different than some 16 year old in vans and a supreme tee, not to mention that's just what it looks like when you stack your jeans on top of boots that high

>>11109937
>>11109890
Should I go for it or try and sell them to some sk8fag?

>>11110685
This kid on r/streetwear bleached a black nike hoodie and he said the bleached part was just a little softer. I've never bleached anything besides those shoes and some old jeans, so I can't really give much advice, just be aware that different fabrics respond differently to the bleach and never bleach anything unless you're prepared to ruin it.

>>11110772
lmao

re posting this project with a different picture.

attempt at diy techwear like pants. They started as plain green straight leg cargo pants.

>>11109868
i own straight leg pants also but i didn't like the look.

I only had $20 bucks into them so I thought why not experiment. I actually like the results

>>11110520
>omg its a niger

I had no idea I was an African Country. Thanks for informing me :^ )

>>11110551
I might get around to doing it later but the boots are just one thick piece of leather and I don't have any of my leather working stuff with me so eh. If it was thinner I would have done something about it. pic related

>>11110870
I remember these from the last thread. They're p cool. What material did you use for the thigh straps? Also I'd remove the white shoelace or at least use a black one.

>>11110608
so you didnt rinse the bleach off afterwards? just let it sit?

>>11110870
looks cool mang

>>11109807
This honestly looks terrible, but it's mostly because that unfinished leather looks stupid as shit. Copy the original topline as well as you can - as far as I can tell the top's been "hemmed" (idk if that's the word for folding then stitching things down). Maybe follow the original curve of the topline, and slim them down if you can too.

>>11109930
I can't see this ever being comfortable but it looks cool I guess

>>11109971
I honestly kind of like this but it makes me kind of uncomfortable the longer I look at it

Pretty ingenious though

>>11110754
I don't really think the shoes will look good dyed any color, and you'd have to take care of the red stripe too. Forcing a DIY rarely goes down well - just keep them as shitty beaters or sell them/give them away.

>>11110870
Fuck I saw this last thread and they look sweet. Did you taper/slim down the cargo pants, and if so, any comments or issues on the fit or the size of the pockets or anything? I slim down most of my pants myself and I've been wanting to try cargos, but I feel like the size of the pockets on slim pants might look stupid.

>>11111111

>>11111034
Yea i tapered them from the inseam. Honestly large pockets on slim pants can look pretty cool(Julius cargos tend to have skinnier legs and larger pockets)

>>11110999
thanks

>>11110946
I dont really know the name of the material but its the same thing you find on bookbag straps. thanks for the feedback I just was experimenting with different things and black laces actually look a lot better

>>11110870
last time you posted them i thought this looked kind of bad, but seeing them worn like this it looks pretty gud man

yea ima designer #fvshion #like4like #menswear

>>11110500
blades will leave obvious marks and wont produce natural looking wear, best way is to take them out side ans rub them against concrete until it breaks through

>>11110870
i love this

>>11110969
yeah, I'm guessing with regular clothes you'd want to do that, but for a canvas shoe they didn't feel any stiffer or anything.

>>11111280

contrary to the other anons I kind of think you have a lot of work to do here. they look sick in the thumbnail but not up close. I dunno if I really get techwear from them either. maybe post apocalyptic. i'd sew some patches of blank canvas on em and play with wrapping stuff like the white you did

>>11110870
I think its just the area around the knee that looks weird. Above and below that its fine.
Also, the different blacks are throwing me off too. I would have gone with a different fabric for the straps, cause its hard to dye something properly black.

Does anybody know how to make a bracelet like this SLP bracelet? I'm not sure where to even find a rope for this purpose and like metal lets too.

jesus christ 200 bucks for this piece of shit? Looks like something they'd give away for free at summercamp orientation

First try at distressing. Tips for the future?

>>11110870
HOLY SHIT BRO POST AN IMGUR ALBUM OF HOW YOU DID THIS PLEASE

>>11110870
Can you post a diagram/pattern for where to start the taper on these?

>>11112692
>waaaaah da wite bois took our word

why don't you go cry about it on /mu/, I'm sure they'll understand your pain

'd like to see ITT some sneakers/joggers with logos/branding taken out of them, just want to see the possible results and whether its worth it
thanks if you have any <3

>>11112958
what did you use?it looks like you had to use excessive force and stretched out the fabric

>>11110946
the way they often hem boot shafts is to thin out/shave off the leather like a quarter inch in thickness around the edge, then fold that thin part over. reduces bulk at the hem and makes it easier to sew through

>>11112850
Ask /k/ or /out/ what kind of knot that is.

>>11112850
>paying $200 for a piece of paracord and a dumb little charm

>>11109930
just put this on the back

>>11109801
look cool af

>>11113568
Just a knife. In hindsight it doesn't seem like it was the best idea, but it was cathartic and a decent start I suppose. The fabric is a viscose/organic cotton blend so it falls a bit differently (was going for a variation of the shredded Julius aesthetic)

>>11110772
WHOA BRO ARE YOU BOSOZOKU? LMAO U FUCKING NERD

The most helpful answer from /fa/

>>11114988
If I knew anything about knots, I'd have helped.

>>11112850
Forgot to mention that metal aglets are super common. Google them and find ones that are close enough.

Same goes for the paracord.

>>11109801
Haha, enjoy your new slippers falling off
