/fa/ - Fashion

Since I can't find a good pair of curved Julius denim, I decided to just re-sew them myself. I plan on buying a pair of Uniqlo Black jeans since they have a 34" inseam. But the question is, should I do this on some skinny jeans or slim jeans? I'm going to have to take in the legs a lot to get a proper curve, so I'm thinking slim. I've got a small diagram drawn up as a base, for those who own Julius denim, does this silhouette look pretty accurate?

>>9356021
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what does this do? make them stack better?

>>9356026

The long inseam is what makes them stack, but the curve holds them in place so that they don't pile up at your ankle when you walk.

>>9356031
Any example pics of what youre goingfor?

>>9356037

I've got a couple of inspo images, here's one of some Julius denim.

>>9356038
gay as fuck homie

>>9356048

lol fuck off, its 2015. How the hell are stacks gay? You're either mildly insecure with your sexuality or mildly stupid. probably both.

>>9356054
its a fucking skirt dawg

only kanye can pull that shit off but those pants are way too fucking tight anyways

gay as fuck

>>9356054
the fit practically like leggings in the thighs

not only would they be uncomfortable to move around in, but also not even skinny jeans should be that skinny

>>9356062

I don't remember saying anywhere I was replicating the skirt.

>only kanye can pull that shit off
>"only a 5'8 black man with social status can wear this particular clothing"

>>9356066
I'm not going for that level of skinnyness. I just want to replicate that level of stacks on plain skinny jeans, not skintight jeans.

>>9356021
I would do it to a slim pair, you'll have more fabric to work with

>>9356073
Oh hnngg, I forgot how good stacks were when the pants were actually designed for them.

I've got a shitty H&M bomber that I want to do something with, but I'm not really sure what to do. I'm thinking adding patches or something. What do you all think?

Can someone tell me where to start when trying to do ripped jeans myself?

How to make layers?

How to make t-shirts like this? pic related

unfff....

>>9356729
I followed this guys video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kqZa-WeV4o

Turned out pretty well

>>9357023

take a knife to the shirt

>>9357023
literally how did you follow it? I couldn't understand his instructions because every other word was man and the rest was just mumbling and cursing.

>>9357023
that man is extremely hard to understand

>>9356749
I normally just buy xl tall t shirts and just cut them in similar fashion to the John elliot Mercer tees

>>9357023
The only thing he was good at was picking the cotton out of the fabric, that's not even trying to be racist. From a seamstress perspective he got them from the right position by just guessing.

Yup

>>9357099
shave ur chest

or atleast the top

>>9357113

it's probably just a shadow

>>9357066
>>9357067
He's hard to understand sometimes, but I found it easy to follow after listening to him talk for the first few minutes

>>9356021
please, save yourself some money and some time and don't do this. J leg pants are patterned purposely to create that shape and stack. Grain and shaping of seams are taken in account to make everything work.

If you cut the pants like you're planning, the grain will be all over the place and you won't achieve >>9356038

Just taper the jawnz normally for your mad stax. (although you better be short as hell to get that much stacking out of a 34 inseam - there's a reason most J curve pants have incredibly long inseams)

>>9356021
too bad for you the fabric is swen curved not cut curved. If you don't know what I mean avoid DIY

>>9356749
don't use a knife use some thing abrasive like sand paper or a file

>>9357113
thats a shadow

i hardly have any chest hair

>>9357258
>>9357267

I guess I'll just keep looking for some actual Julius in that case. I still think that the DIY curve would still hold the pant against your leg though, and therefore hold the stacks in place. But yeah, I know it definitely won't be the exact same.

2x200g of Nylon Machine Dye. Looking back, I would first have done 1 package first, see how that turns out and then the second. The pattern is quite visible when the sunlight hits it. I hope it will fade over the years.

>>9356749
take a saw to them. gives the cuts a natural texture and the cuts will have a more natural and unique pattern to them. pull, tear, and rip holes in different ways, cut all the way through, leave some loose threads, etc.

>>9357446
>take a saw
Is this serious? Does it really look better than using a knife?

>>9357475
after gradual wear and wash they'll both look fairly similar but i've always found cutting with a rough saw like a wood saw (one's on my victorinox knife) the rips look a lot better with less effort.

>>9357023
stick around if u wana get on this next muhfuckin level

>>9356016
Sup fam, posted in that grey dunks thread but it got deleted.
I have black and white geos and want to paint the white part black so that the upper is all black and sole is white since this standard colorway is gay af.
Should I do it?

>>9356073
based af
wish you luck

>>9357540

No offense man but that sounds really fucking stupid
If you want all black upper dunks so bad, just put yours on Grailed and sell them, then buy all black uppers. You could possibly even make money from doing that since the OG B/W dunks usually are the most sought-after.

>>9357540
>>9357618

Oh my bad, I misread that. But still, even if they're Geos, you can just resell them and make like 75% of the money you'd need to buy black upper Dunks. Just do that and put a little money into it and boom, you saved yourself the shame of painting designer sneakers.

made these yesterday
i kno
>element

>>9357618
>>9357652

Yeah man I know it's not a great idea and I would do what you said.
But without getting in the details lets just say I would lose a lot by selling these and buying another pair.
There's a shit ton of pics people doing custom work on Nikes and shit looks factory paint. I was hoping I can achieve that same color and shine as the original color on geos.

>>9357718

Well if you really want to do that, look up professional shoe painters, I wouldn't advise doing it yourself. Eventually the paint will crack and they'll look shitty.

im making a winter parka
will post pics sometime maybe

I've got some old canvas Le Coq Sportif shoes that are super faded.

Could I bleach them to make them white, or at least super pale?

They used to be blue but they are more of a tan/grey, that's how faded these fuckers are.

I'm a honky and understood everything he said, am I ebonics?

>>9358436
Everyone here is cringingly heterosexual though..

>>9358456
Tacky homosexuals make me real sad.

>>9357427
Goin to do this with mine. Looks so good.

>>9358456
speak for yourself, I'm cringingly bisexual

Where can I buy sheets of Gore-Tex or similar material?

I want to try DIYing a T-Shirt using whatever material I come up with, but GT only sells to licenced manufacturers.

thrifted logging boots for $10, realized i had no use for them so i cut them into derbies. debating whether or not to attempt to clean them up, or leave them beat to utter shit

>>9357427
whats the process for something like this? same for a parka made of cotton?

>>9361604

I don't know why this is so funny to me.

>>9361604
nice work throwing away the money you couldve gotten from selling those m1948 pattern combat boots

>>9357099
pants. how?

what could i use to get rid of white stitching in pants? sharpie frays the stitching and gets washed off.

>>9361604
W2C original boots?

>>9357099
what shoes are these?

>>9362625
they make sharpies that don't get washed off

>>9357427
I think you made the right choice using the two packs.

my flecktarn is 20% polyester and it looks about that same as yours, but that's after using a rit dye.

I used 2x packs of Dylon on mine and only got a little bit of darkening. Though that could possible be due to not having the washing machine heat on max and using a top loader (had it on medium, but used max heat for the Rit attempt).

>>9362625
The thread is probably polyester, so you can't use regular dye on it. I've hear crayola fabric crayons have disperse dye in them so they'd probably work.

>>9362625
Hem them before bending them.

>>9362625
you can't and it's a bitch to dye the polyester just hem them

i used to dress like that in high school....such a neckbeard

socal speed shop or free t shirts from skunk2 while working on cars most of the time there :(

i should have worn hot topic and listened to afi to get pussy like the smart effeminate guys

>>9362729
also the grey ones don't have the white serging

it's grey on grey

not the double knee though

also don't weld in them

they straight up melt when sparks hit it

hot metal/slag burns through your pants and gets dick

Thanks a bunch.
Spooked me because my name is Shelby.

>>9362584
they were actually Georgia brand logging boots :^)

>>9362740

AH thank you, been looking for a while.

>>9362739
>>9362729

I only wear the black ones though. I just wore black chinos regularly, and they would rip easily whenever I do some sort of activity in them. Got a pair of dickies for work and the fit was pretty decent and theyre durable since they're work pants, so I got a black pair just to wear and there's no real obvious visible gap in quality. The stitching is an eye sore though so I've been using some black wax on it every couple days but it's tedious. bummer about no solution and your high school days

was about to get a sweatshirt with this printed on, but website with high res image is down
i cry daily

>>9357099
shoes look a little out of place imo

>>9357667
these are actually so shit stop posting them everywhere

>>9364503
just reverse image search it you fucking spud. you're welcome

>>9361608
bump

>>9357667
How did you do them? I'm not familiar in tie dying

If CCP had done these, /fa/ would be worshipping him as the nxt lvl post apocalyptic urban goth fashion god, but you're just a lowly anon so these are shit and you should be ashamed for your autism

>>9361604
Nice. Really I like how you cut them. Cutting leather isn't easy and I've fucked it up often. I'd suggest different shoe laces now.

>>9358195
if you bleach them they might get kind of yellowish. you might be able to bleach them near white, then use blue or purple dye to kind of neutralize the color. ost the color and we'll see what we can help with.

>>9356749
Use a knit, not woven fabric. Cut the lower hem off, stretch the fabric apart at the hem, take a look at one of those small tiny loops and use something like a seam ripper or pencil to get the loops bigger. Pull up on them gently so they become unraveled. this takes forever but can be pretty fun while you watch a movie or so

>>9365583
Sometimes I make word from keyboard then forget to think them in real life
ty

i'm knitting a scarf. i just learned how to knit so i'm only using the basic knit stitch. it's fun and relaxing, but repetitive as hell. i'm gonna try to learn some other stitches.

literally only took like 10 minutes to learn how to knit. would highly recommend it. after i learn some more stitches, i'm gonna try some ambitious patterns, like sweaters.

>>9357817
can you post those jeans you made pls

>>9361604
Man, they look like basic school shoes now. Should have kept them as boots lmao

>>9361604
looks good clean em up

>>9362725
didnt see this before, seems hopeful ill give it a try, thanks

virginal faggot tumblr punk faggots, unless its naturally worn out and shitty from time you're just a big stupid faggot goof and people know that you did it yourself because you look like a spoiled tryhard kid who wants people to think they go to local shows. embarrassing.

Thoughts on my ratty jawnz?

>>9369364
looks retarded, way to go

>>9369364
Another pic, not that shit for a first pair of Crusties imo

>>9369364
>>9369374
looks good m8

>>9369371
ignore this guy

>>9369374
these are amzing. looks legit

>>9369374
>>9369364
looks like fucking shit
like some edgy suburban kid went on the internet, saw crust pants, and went "there aint no way my friends at school are going to see me in these lame-o pants my MOM bought me!!!"

wait thats exactly what you did faggot
anyways, stitching is too spread out and shit quality, also unless theyre bordered by other patches the crooked ones look especially shitty

>>9356038
Like the "skirt" reminds me of a modern take on chainmail fits that swagin knights used to wear

Made this dip dye shirt awhile back.

>>9356021
technically you´ll need a longer hem, so the fabric stacks up, your diagram would just make a small stack on the hem from the inside

i would just buy a bigger size and just make them as tight as possible so ithe extra fabric on the hem stacks up

>>9361604
sew the ankle of the boot to the hem of skinny jeans, nxtlvlaf

>>9369490

10/10 better than any i've seen in for sale. seriously, nice job!

>>9361604

>>9356016

>>9369490
How You did this. IT looks awesome

>>9356584
patches r great. What color is the bomber? but u gotta be careful w/ patches, i'd mainly do black n white ones. and placement is also decently important

>>9369020
V pale.

im trying to sketch ideas for clothing to make but i feel as though anything i will sketch will be boring or unoriginal

i currently have a wizardcore tshirt and am about to sketch a druidcore engineered garments knockoff
does it matter if im being unoriginal? i got a sewing machine and fabric the other day and would like to start with something simple, but i think it would be better if i modify an existing garment to start with

>>9369364
>thinks jawnz means jeans
