ヘルシー, according to goolge, means 'healthy'.

Below it there is the weaboo pill image.
I will stitch the black glossy partes(also of the pills) with white thread and put the whole thing onto the back of a jacket.
It will take a long time..
I will post the outcome if this thread is still alive by then.

I'd rather have the patches on now rather than never, in order to age with the backpack, it's the placement I chose, deal with it.

Rip your backpack with a knife and leave it out in the sun for a few weeks if you want the crusty look. Looks weak as fuck as it is. You should probably also remove the pins and add plain patches so it looks more worn.

Did this to a pair of newbalance 420 i was sick of wearing. Removed the contrast stitching and suede patch at the back, and murdered out the contrast sole.

Use them mostly for parties and festivals so they're usually dirty, but i cleaned one of them up for ya.

The suede doesn't contrast as heavily in real life, but I had to use flash to get the details. They're much darker in person.

thinking about removing these epaulets but my considerations are these:

1) after I pull out the seams and cut it off what are the chances of obvious holes being left over

2) that button could hold the epaulet and the yoke below it together and that would be an obstacle.

thoughts on these issues?

I keep seeing these pants show up in japanese streetwear threads. Could I just get some slim pleated pants and do that cuff thing myself? I mean how would you ever do it, just flip the cuff up 3 or 4 inches then sew it up?

Hahah thanks anon, yeah I agree with you, the triangles are a little rough especially as the denim frays. I don't have any progress pics of this one, but I'm thinking about making a second wallet that'll be cleaner and a bit more minimal, cuz I still have a ton of denim. I'll take progress pics of that and post em in a DIY thread in the next little bit.

Made some jorts last night while inebriated out of an old pair of Lucky jeans I bought in the mid-00s while going through a "wear women's jeans phase".

I need to sew the cuff in place though.

Hmm, well, okay.

Depending on how big the hole is, you can spot-fix it with stuff like mouldable plastic, plastic 'liquid cements' etc. by plugging the hole and then cutting/sanding away the excess
You don't want to be spending too much on it though, I mean... they're converses
This product seems to be cheap enough and well-recommended

That's kind of a tough one. If you wouldn't wear it with epaulets, then you may as well just try what you can. but if you'd be sad if you destroyed it, you should probably stay safe.

the holes from the stitching probably wouldn't be an issue after you wash it once or twice, but I can't say much about the button without knowing how exactly it's constructed.
