/fa/ - Fashion

could someone explain how to do this sort of scab look? i've got a pair of old jeans i'd really want to try it out on

Just attempted a dip dye shirt

>>7573165
fuck that looks good. seconding.

>>7573165
let ur jeans get older

and patch thm when they get holes in

>>7573204
This.

>mfw /fa/gs try so hard to make their clothes look old/crusty/well-worn

>>7573187
ayo, link to a high quality dip dye guide? google has links to basic bitch shit

>>7573187
Did you dip it once? you should of diluted the dye first, and dipping it more times.

Looking to buy 2 thrift blazers and attempt this. Thoughts on difficulty?

>>7573218
i just followed the instructions on the dye and threw the shirt in there for like 15 minutes then very slowly moved it out over like a half hour
>>7573225
and yes i should have probably done that but i kinda like how it came out i think it looks alright

>>7573226
soooo african

>>7573226
I don't really know, but I think its going to be a bitch because of the size of the arm hole (?) and the size of the hole on the other piece, then connecting it will either cause 2 things
1. the torso piece is too big, causing you to alter the center piece to the other size
2. the arm piece is too small, too big, altering that will leave some weird things, you'll have to alter the whole arm I would assume.
ask a tailor to this, unless you have the cash to spare and time.

>>7573239
15 minutes in the dye? shit nigga (I've never dip-dye'd so I don't know, been wanting to do it)
What color should I dip my gray shirt?

>>7573253
>color
put it in black nigga and ya it takes a while

>>7573266
I've also a very dark cloudy blue (?) black aswell?
how much did the dye cost?

2 year old ripped to shit vans repainted with black caulking and black acrylic paint

>>7573287
I also have a very*
damn brain

>>7573304
I'm not sure i'm feeling this, wanna post a fit?
or is it not dry yet?

>>7573226
Depends on how experienced you are. If you are no novice you could turn those non functioning zipper details into fully detachable sleeves and have a set that you can rotate.

>>7573287
>>7573305
die was like 4 or 4 dollars and i would stick to black i like the monochrome thing but i guess you can do whatever you want with it

>>7573344
3 or 4*

>>7573316
only have 1 shoe done, the caulking takes forever to paint with. I doubt I will even wear them until I have some tattered julius-esque jeans to work with

>>7573355
i want to see them on a foot man lel
how long does it take to dry? and I mean it looks cool, but I don't know if it looks good ya know?

Shredded shirt. I messed up and cut out the neck and ended up cutting wayyy too much.

>>7573304
looks real bad

>>7573441
yeah you cut waaaaaaaaaaay too much
but I can feel it
another pic pls

>>7573441
>>7573460
an idea, stitch black on the other side

>>7573441
show the neck

If anyone has scarf the right size to drape like this could you possibly give me the approx. dimensions?

Would be very very very appreciated.

>>7573441
wear it in the summer its p cool and a little ballsy

>>7573369
looks out of place with clothes that are still in good shape
>>7573449
what are you working on m8

>>7573484
why not grab a the dimensions about of what you want in width, and the rest make it really long, and keep going up until you find a good length

Had to measure it before I cut and was a bitch to do, I like the fit and plan on tearing it up a bit

>>7573187
looks like that one shitty raf sweater that someone was trying to move for less than $50 because it looked so bad

>>7573513
I-I-I don't know what to say

>>7573528
excuse my ugly basketball shirts, I just came back from ballin with the niggas

>>7573530
except it colt like 5 dollars to make

>>7573513
is one painted and the oher just natural? i think wear them like that, mismatched.

>>7573460
>>7573466
Neck

>>7573545
>>7573460
I like it after seeing the neck
(but I think what I said before would look pretty good, grab something black and put it under, post results)

Going to sew over an obnoxious blue drawstring sheath on a black rain jacket I own.

Also bought a 7 pack of white tees and some black dye. Going to dip dye and stretch em out to get a sort of loose fit.

>>7573545
Back, I wanted to do more but I just stopped working on this after messing up the neck. It kind of hurts the fingers to pull apart the threads too. Also, I'm sorry about these weird pictures, I'm uploading them straight from my phone so I have no idea what's up.

>>7573555
more on back, too much was cut in a little area, cut a little of whats hanging imo,

>>7573187
actually looks kinda cool, id wear it as a basic t for layering. looks kinda like mountains

>>7573552
Here?

>>7573599
pretty dope
not sure about leaving the neck with black though
i'd also give it a hand sewn look, more diy

>>7573594
thanks! thats probably what i will use it for

>>7573599
better when u were flashin midriff

>>7573620
>>7573624
thanks for the help m80s

>>7573599
Im really interested on this

Mind sharing more details
W2c ? What material is it ? Post the percent of materials used, they are back on the label

>>7573204
That would take so long

>>7573773
I just used a 100% cotton Hanes ComfortSoft because it was my first time and I wasn't willing to drop a big amount of $$ into it. I followed some tutorial on some girl's fashion blog (can't find it anymore for some reason), I remember looking at some youtube videos as well. One of the youtube videos I saw had a picture of some designer's shredded tee that supposedly cost hundreds but I'm not too sure right now, I did this project quite a while ago really.

>>7573187

Damn that looks badass

>>7573849
Thanks alot for this
Definately will try this with some plain shirts

>>7573922
glad2beofassistance

>>7573849
Just FYI avoid Hanes if possible, they have bad work ethics.

>>7573840
a bloo bloo

I have three old flannels that I wanna frankenstein
two are the exact same model just different colours.
I never wear them so no big loss if it fails.

if not frankenstein, what should I do with em? maybe use them as patching fabric if stuff get holes or something.


also thinking about doing pick related to some skinnies

>>7573966
idunno why I left space between hem edge and fabric lol, the point is to sew the pieces together.

>>7573957
makes sense, I just got a lower quality shirt because I heard that lower quality shirts are significantly easier to shred due to poor construction of the material itself

>>7573165
get a file and sand paper at have at it then patch them up with scraps

>>7573165
how can you guys think that looks good, it looks like something a highschool emo kid would wear with fingerless gloves

seriously your opinions are fucking bad if you like this

>>7573226

Don't. Blazers are some of the most bitches shit to work with. You got to take off the lining, then the armhole area has a bunch of shit like fused interfacing and bias stripes that makes it a pain in the ass. After than, you have to reattach the lining which is a pain in the ass too. I don't think it's going to be worth it.

>>7573986
lel you may have a point, but it also depends what top you're wearing, haircut etc
so nah, I don't think he'll look like an emo kid

>>7574002

love the first one, how did you do that ?

>>7574031
patch of old fabric safety pinned underneath a tear right now. going to hem the patch and hand-stitch this weekend

>>7573555
>>7573545
>>7573441
wear it over another deep crew neck that isnt fucked up--b

>>7574119
like dis

>>7574045

Looks great.

I wanna splatter paint these.

What's the best way to do it?

I want to splatter paint these Vans.

What is the best way to go about it?

>>7574346
acrylic paint in a plastic water bottle. punch a hole in the cap and squeeze over shoes outside or over a tarp.

>>7574385
Awesome. Thanks.

I'll just use blue tape over the lip and aluminum foil

Should I replace the shoe laces with white ones before I paint them or leave the blacks in? Should I take the laces out when painting or leave them in?

I like the way these look, I think they belong to Ramonster

>>7574415
i would take the laces out. the eyelets might get gunked up when the paint dries. you could paint the laces separately or leave them clean

>>7574434
Hmm I think I'll paint them separately or I'll clear the grommets in the event that they get gunked up. I'm worried about the shoelaces not fitting back through after they have paint on them, due to the fact that acrylic paint globs up on top.

I assume it's best to do one color, then let it dry, then do the next color, so on and so forth? Is there any order to do the colors in?

>>7573985
any particular fabric that looks especially good?

For Christmas my girlfriend made me a blue Hawaiian shirt which had Elvis coming out of a christmas card saying Merry christmas as the pattern.

It's honestly my favourite shirt and I wish I had a working camera to take a photo of it with.

>>7574346
>>7574385
>>7574415
>>7574434
>>7574464

New idea.

What do you think if I took deep red, orange-ish yellow, and black paint and splatter painted it with the German flag colors?

I think I'd replace the laces with white ones.

Could I take it an extra step and use the acrylic paint to paint over the skateboard logo on the back? That might look really awesome actually...

>>7574483
cough

>>7574527
when you get one post it in a diy thread, i really want to see what it looks like

>>7574797
*faggot*

>>7574527
get your gf's camera

>>7574415
Here you go

I painted some the top of some old converse black and the sole white. Opinions?

lmao who knew DIY meant "let me paint my shitty converse to make them look like anything but converse"

it might sound kinda autist but im making a cape, maybe lined for warmth. itll b fr grills

maybe with a hood. idk im just experimenting with fabric

>>7576820
diy applies to anything fuccboi

>>7576820
Kek. I just do it to my old converse that I wouldn't wear. So why the hell not. It's fun to experiment.

>>7576806
no.
>>7576794
pretty sweet but those shoelaces tho

>>7576824
Post cape. I wish capes would come back. So fucking majestic and drapey.

>>7576865
TFW can't find good shoelaces because lives in a third world country...

>>7574544
Never know 'til ya try man
Make sure to post pics

>>7576872

It's called the internet dude.

>>7576824
please do it
no joke yesterday i told myself i needed a hooded cape
it would go well with a visor, i want a visor too

>>7576893
shipping costs a bitch to other countries
like for fucks sake, I wanted to buy some boots from journey's costing me 70 bucks, the total came out to be 160 just because of the shipping (to usa)

>>7576922
to chile*

>>7576806
lold

post fit?

I painted some old Adidas Sambas with white acrylic paint
Looks like shit, so I am asking you guys what I could do with them now, to make them look better

>>7576978
Too lazy. It's 3 am here

>>7576988
why are they so shiny? maybe give them another coat with something less glossy. Take off the adidas stripes on the side too, mite be cool.

>>7576806
wow are those rick owens?

>>7577088
yeah

>>7576988
are yu gonna keep them laceless? cos i think it actually looks good here
would hang out with u

>>7576988
insert black laces??

>>7577091
>>7577088
Usually what I'm dressed it. Next DIY velcros

>>7574544
That sounds bitchin

If you wanna paint over the emblem on the back you should sand off the skateboard first.

>>7574544
please do it and post in next DIY thread

>>7573513

Still looks terrible. Why caulking? Why not just rubber dip them?

wat do

>>7580122

>>7580122
Scab them up with varying thickness and textured materials, making sure to use large guage cotton thread.

If you're happy after the upper's surface is entirely scabbed, then there were are, wear them out. If you're unhappy after that point, then paint the entire upper one color. A base layer of white fabric paint and then a later of gesso would be my suggestion. Use a latex based paint instead of the fabric paint for a more waterproof option. I also suggest using only the gesso on the soles, for effect.

>>7580329
(Gesso is assuming you want flaking, as that's what MMM painted garments are painted with. Any other paint should prove a bit more permanent, especially the latex based ones.)

>>7580122
see
>>7580142

i think i had a pair when i was 13 tho

>>7580341

lol is that actually mito

>>7580329
>>7580337

Different guy here. Could I use some of that himmyjimmy gesso gunk on a pair of converse after painting them white to be like the MMM x Chuck Taylor collabs?

>>7580366
They'd be similar, but the effect won't be the exact same, and quality will generally be poorer. The Converse x MMM shoes are only gesso over the canvas, and the shoe itself is more carefully constructed as well as leather lined (as opposed to unlined.)

If you're going to do that, I would choose a fabric paint for your base layer, or even leave them unpainted if they're not completely unbearable as is.

>>7580689
On that note, due to being unlined, it's very likely your version would flake a lot faster. If you got to the point in which you wouldn't want them to flake anymore, you could seal them with clear varnish, assuming you don't care too much about the breathability.

Alternatively, you could always just add another coast of gesso at that point.

>>7580702
Vey, typos all throughout my posts, but the point is still there. Let me know if any of that is unclear.

>>7573151
I'm not good at DIY clothing (I wish I was) but I did just order this DIY vest off etsy.com

>>7581087
don't really like it but you executed it very well so as long as you like it props

>>7575321
>>7576730

I'll try to get a photo by Saturday. Unfortunately she made it while I was out of the country so the fit is pretty large, want me to get the photo before or after she takes it in?

Going to order something like this and make it in to a pendant.

>>7581087

>I did just order this DIY vest off etsy.com
>order
>DIY

You don't get the term do you?

>>7582127
with a fine silver chain.

1st attempt at dip-dying this old tee. Will dye the upper half black later

>>7582392
looks good as it is imo brah

>>7573187
hmm i am going to dip dye a couple of cheap shirts when i get home, but I had an idea

what would it look like dyed left to right instead of top to bottom

anyone tried this?

has anyone had any experience re-dyeing blacks?

some of my black clothing has gotten p faded and i'd like to have em be pitch black again

>>7582466
same here, bump

Thoughts? I painted a pair of black combat boots with gesso so that they would chip and look like the MMM x Converse collab, but I'm not sure if I like the look anymore.

Should I paint them solid white? And what kind of paint would I have to use to paint them?

>>7583845
ruined them

>>7582456
Raf already did that

>>7583845
iunno

all your diys look like garbage. congrats, you all made your clothes 100x worse than it was

>>7583845
throw them out. don't know why you would paint ugly ass boots to begin with

>>7573304
Why do you skate in slip ons?

I'm making shorts very similar to Rick Owens' "pod shorts"
100% silk, four front pockets, one back pocket, drawstring, elastic waist.
Just making them to chill around the house in.
Coming along nicely.

>>7584056
post pics when you're done, in this or next thread

i made these five minutes ago
they came out like shit but im not too mad or anything cause it's the first time i use a sewing machine

>>7582127
>>7582147
check http://petercat.storenvy.com/ they usually do stuff like that

>>7584543
How on earth did you make that abomination with a sewing machine?

>>7584543
actual wtf

>>7584543
my first time making anything. just cut a singlet based on approximation of one i had lying around and then sewed it together. only bothered hemming the bottom. need a lot of practice

>>7586679
my machine. got it off a classifieds from some old guy for $25. still works very well. threading is difficult though

>>7573513

Looks great for bum core.

at work today i was talking to a customer who found docs at savers that were once boots, but cut down to make them an oxford..

i quite liked them, but if i fuck it up i'd be out a pair of docs, do you think its a worthy project?

>>7586704

> but if i fuck it up i'd be out a pair of docs,

So it's a win/win?

>>7573304
The look like they've been badly burnt

>>7573505
I think it's more than two dimensions since the cut's probably asymmetrical
think J cut tees and jeans that encourage draping with asymmetry

Made this a while ago. Leather jacket with leather studs and a leather and jersey dress underneath.
The leather jacket was pretty easy to make. The leather studs on the other hand were pretty tricky.
A friend was modeling for the photoshoot.

Picture related.

>>7582456
>what would it look like dyed left to right instead of top to bottom
a lot of the appeal with dip dye is that it enables colors to distort proportions
ever heard of light colors making things look big and dark things making them looks small?

A white to black top to bottom gradient on black jeans would draw a more attention to the white top half and contribute to the appearance of a masculine V taper


anyway horizontal color blocking can look nice but it can also be really jarring especially if it's centered

proportioning the dyes along the lines of pic related would probably look nice

>>7586749
I'm assuming your friends want's to get to know a /fa/ motherfucker?
Give me those deets girl

>>7586877
what the fuck are you talking about?
write like a human being.

>>7586908
Don't tell me what to do.

>>7586913
rekt

>>7586908
how can you not understand that jesus christ what are you

is copping the pop boutique ma-1 bomber, get it tailored and then trying to do pic related a good idea?
seems like it would be fun, but i dont know anything about diy, not even how2add patches

>>7586908

He's assuming her friend wants to know a /fa/ motherfucker and is asking for her deets.

>>7587027
who is this "her" you are talking about?

>>7587020
Where do you even get patches? I've been wanting to put something on the back of my bomber for a while now.

>>7587081
make them yourself mate
or find a friend with a screen printing thingy

>>7587087
how2diy patches?

>>7587081
screenprint yourself.
get a screen for printing. draw a stencil. Cut the picture out out of paper (it's not as durable as plastic sheet) or a plastic sheet. attach it to the screen, add paint, print it on fabric
>???
>profit

>>7582392
That looks awesome

how did you do that?

Where do people buy the white 'paint blotch' shoes?

>>7587222
I think they usually make them themselves
