removed the nike patches and logo from some nike jacket, it looks like a techwear piece now :^) so happy and satisfied.

where to begin other customization shit, what do?

>>8115856
putting a punx extortion patch on my flanno right now O-Z-H-C amirite cunts?

Cut the sleeves off a jacket today and dyed it.

Also dyed some jean shorts just to see how they turned out.

I'm just going to post some neat DIY stuff I found.

Here's a pair of Edwin raw denim jeans that were buried for 6 months. Although it's unconventional, it really is interesting to see the after effect of burying brand new high quality denim.

>>8115872
Cool, any pics?

>>8115959
imma shy to post pics tbh :^(

>>8115961
It's all good.

Speaking of DIY denim, there's some very interesting ways to dye them, not just using RIT or coffee dye.

"A high ferrous content, from water passing over iron-rich rocks and a high tannin** content from rotten vegetation. Boggy mangrove swamp mud, paddy field mud where the water gathers in rust tinged pools. The iron and the tannin react to form a black dye. Burying your jeans in any old muddy ditch will probably just get them dirty rather than imparting any colourfast tonal changes."

Here's a white linen shirt that was soaked in blueberries.

my ex-bf with whom i still live with is doing some dying shit using natural fabrics. thinking of copping some white uniqlo tees and getting in on a few cool dying experiments with eucalyptus leaves and bark and all kinds of things.

will post results in a week maybe if I actually do it

>>8116017
>ex-bf
gf* rather

>>8116017
For sure, there's a lot of potential to be explored.

I know one thing though, I'm definitely going to try sun-fading and burying tanks/tees this summer.

Anybody ever try making their own scab jeans? I've tried once before, but they didn't come out very nicely.

It was probably the jeans I used, they turned out more crusty-bunk-hobo than scabbed.

>>8116070
Here's Alex's pair, he used Uniqlo x Undercover jeans.

>>8116072

>>8116003
absolutely fucking great nice work
where can i get a cheap white linen shirt?

>>8116089

>>8116090
Uniqlo.

I think this idea isn't half bad. Glossy acrylic painted chucks.

If the toebox was painted over, the black stripe cut off, and the laces dyed gray, they just might look like A1923s. Similar silhouette at least.

>>8116116

>>8116122

>>8115893
bit wonky n shit but fuck it ritteee PUNXX

>>8116133
I think it'd look better on a blackwatch flannel.

An old Hanes sweatshirt revived with a spray bottle of bleach.

>>8116136
well i cant very well change it now mate it's fuckin stitched on by yours truly

>>8116128
how do?

>>8116138
Seam ripper?

But it matters more if you like it and it appeals to you. It is your wardrobe after all.

>>8116143
buy long laces, put in cons chuck taylors

real hard shit

>>8116148

>>8116148
fuckin oath mate ride the LIGGHTNNINNNGGGAAAA

Dying some shoelaces with tea

This one has potential, all he used was vinyl letters sold on Amazon.

I like this one.

>>8116072
w2c jacket

is dip dying converses a good idea?

>>8116149
sorry should more specify.
how do glossy cons?

>>8116246
also is there a faster way to make your cons yellow other than wearing them for at least a year?

>>8116246
those are leather cons

>>8116250

piss on them

>>8116174
thats p cool. feel it could be utilised better tho
>>8116193
imma do something like this but use the word KOMONO instead

>>8116300

>>8116133

I never got the idea of patches on flannel. The patterns just clash.

>>8116338
yeah but this is australia i do what i want cunt

>>8116105

>>8116133
>>8116340
feel like a darker flannel would've worked more tho man. something like a black and green one

>>8116268
how to shred bottom of a tee?

>>8116364
Stick it in a blender

>>8116363
the flannel is a fair bit darker irl, the flash just makes it look a bit brighter. but yeah ur probably right. idc though

>>8116152
How do you get this effect?
Just spray with bleach and wash off or what?

>>8116246
>long
It says he used acrylic paint. Just give it a few layers i guess

>>8116246
Acrylic paint that has a gloss to it.

Turning low tops into high tops at the moment

bump

>>8117939
this could either be the coolest thing ever or utter shit. how are you doing it?

>>8117982
Right now it looks like utter shit. I use denim and black material I cut off from shredded cargo pants. Every part needs to be sewed by hand, pain in the ass. Going for a cleaner look, and the other parts of the shoe will need to be recolored

>>8118009
I demand pictures now dude.

>>8116003
How do I do this?

>>8118018
Not now dude, just wanted to save the thread for now, I will deliver. I'm even short of materials, since I need some foam or something to fill the gap between the inside and the outside. gonna tear apart a pillow or something. This whole thing started out when I was just doing a little stitch work on my diy messenger bag (also made of ripped up pants), but I really stepped in a pro area, and the process is long, even tedious

How to fix these problems?

>>8118124
Buy new Chucks,
Patch jeans.

>>8118126
what color do I patch them with though?

>>8118135
A neutral one.

>>8118141
slate?

>>8118141
Wait would a mesh make sense in this case?

>>8116022
we dont judge man

>>8118145
I don't see why not
>>8118151
Maybe? Sounds odd. Do what you want though man. Could work.

>>8118151
how skinny are they, how do you dress and what kind of mesh?

could be #nextlevel and/or kinda awesome

but if they're baggy or its wide mesh it'd look like you're wearing a string vest under your jeans lol

>>8116094
hnng

>>8116137
That's gorgeous.

anyone know how to tailor shirt sleeves? feel like i need a stronger seam than just a single line of stitching but pretty sure i can't do a flat felled seam on a tubed sleeve

I have this blue linen shirt from Uniqlo.
It's a little too big and needs to be hemmed, but I thought fuck it.
Any ideas of what to do?
I'm thinking of bleaching the bottom so the blue part fades out.
Are there guides on how to do this?

Anyone know how to extend the waist length on pants

>>8118268
Lose weight

>>8118268

Do you mean...width? Or are you talking about the waistband?

>>8116307

pls post fit

>>8116137
explain the process, m8. looks fucking great

>everything in the waywt is basicbitch and boring as fuck
>everything in here is so off the wall and avant garde

why?

How can I achive this look doing it myself?

>>8118288
I'm skinny as fuck already they're just small.
>>8118284
Yeah the waistband I guess.

I just got a whole bunch of fabric for free. Anyone got any ideas or patterns for sweaters or sweater type things?

>>8116116
>>8116122
>>8116128

Lace to shoe proportion feels all kinds of wrong. A thinner lace or a leather lace would've made it a lot sharper.

>>8118388
bleach and redye a colored shirt

>>8116128
get skinny laces

>>8116133
this is awesome

>>8118375
Because there is no in-between.

>>8118459
hmmm, nice tip. kind of a dumb question, but how those details in black will appear?

>>8116152
I want to make my SILENT tee this color. how to cause red with bleach? interesting...

>>8118375
Because any time anyone ventures out of their comfort zone in the WAYWT they get "KILL YOURSELF STOP POSTING" rather than actual advice

>>8116368
are you serious

anyone other methods on shredding/destroying the hem of a T? pls help

>>8118564
I usually tear mine by hand or use a dull pair of scissors.

>>8118564

>>8118169
They're a 514 and I was thinking dyed tweed or something I don't know

Got any ideas?

I've got a diy tip for all you guys out there.

Got a turtle neck as a gift from someone but they're just not your thing?

Cut the neck off and you get a sweater with a really wide collar that looks great on collar bones

This is the only picture I have of a turtleneck I did this to.

Could I make a ripped up tank use a fruit of the loom tank? Or should I go a step up and use one from, I don't know, Voidthebrand?

>>8116136

how do I dip dye like this using a t shirt cause it's hot as fuck

>>8117939

what the fuck is with people converting his to los and los to his

this guy did his sk8 his into lows
what the fuck is this fucking trash

>>8118688
This. I like this. Thank you.

Would the phrase "Salad Days Are Gone" on the back of a black parka or jacket look good?
Obviously in a different font, would DIY.

>>8118820
calm down, I'm just having fun, and I'm trying to maintain some quality

There are a couple of designs for t-shirts in my mind
that I want to do and I'm studying methods to make it.
There's a shop nearby my home that makes transfers
and stuff but I'm considering bleaching in different colors
or even painting with metallic and fabric paints myself.
Basically I want something that will endure washings as much as possible. What's the best method? (cost is not a problem)

>>8118823
what the fuck

what does that even mean

how can I fade a denim jacket at home?

>>8119108
It means salad days are gone.

"Salad days is an idiomatic expression, referring to a youthful time, accompanied by the inexperience, enthusiasm, idealism, innocence, or indiscretion that one associates with a young person".

It's also from a song.

>>8119105
sandpaper

>>8118823
>>8119128
lame as fuck

>>8119105
wear it

roll in the mud

throw it in the washing machine on high

>>8119105
Piss on it faggit
For a couple monts piss on it then mop the floor and he street with the jakit

>>8119105
I've got this link where it teaches about bleaching in order to make shirts designs, I think it may work to fade denim as well. http://makezineblog.files.wordpress.com/2006/08/diy_t-shirt_instructions.pdf
There may be deeper methods, but there are some basics there

>>8119128
I don't know man

Seems too gloomy

Being an eeyore isn't fah. You have to LOOK pissed off, but secretly be loving life. Know what I mean?

>>8119136
Wow, nice, I'll think about your opinion for sure, definitely. I will definitely take your hot fact into consideration, friend.

>>8119149
Yeah, I can see it that way, I know what you mean too. Another Anon a month or so back said he liked the quote "His Yolk Is Easy", that could look good. Biblical reference.

>>8118688
this. also works if you get a polo with a mismatched collar, example, mine was olive colored with white collar, use a seam ripper on the collar, instant henley

>>8116133
i was thinking of putting a patch on a coach jacket.
yolo ima do it

>>8119128
I think you could get the exact same message across with the phrase "good bye halcyon days"

It's also a well known phrase that means basically the exact same thing

>>8118823
never a good idea even if its mac

>>8118352

not him, but I think you literally just spray the sweatshirts a few times with the bleach.

>>8118158
yeah nah I legit lold when I realised I mis-typed. I didn't really need to correct it but my inner autism made me

>>8118820
tbh they look beat as fuck anyway so its not like they were brand new. shit looks tight tho

>>8118823
ultra lame. at least pick a good mac lyric if you're gonna do that

>>8116045
That is definately not how mine came out. Any tips? Mine had like white streaks

>>8116133
great band
shame they never play shows anymore. oh well, rort are just as good, rite?

>>8116003
are the darker stains blueberry residue?
or is it permanent? if they're not could you post a pic without them?

>>8118526
dw just do it pussy

soupe faguettes

i have a pair or two of light blue denim, one has some kind of greenish tone, not to big just a little bit of green

so, my question is, can i dye them into another colour or make them darker?

should i use regular dye or what?

>>8120760
Yeah.

I accidentally dyed a bunch of clothes purple, does that count as diy

>>8121035
yes

>tfw tried to dye a white tank to black with RIT but it turned purple

>>8121103
I used RIT for mine, thats why mine are like this now
I only meant it for a few shirts a long time ago, then yesterday I accidentally washed them with a bunch of other things

>>8115856
what do i search on google to find these types of specific tank tops?
i want to make my own julius 7 tank with the frayed and ripping

im 6 feet if that helps

>>8121276
buy some XL thin tanks from asos or american apparel

cut it or seam rip the sewing line at the bottom

stab holes in it with a knife and pick at it until desired result

>>8121343
bless you anon, greatly appreciated

for realistic looking holes in jeans rub them on concrete

>>8121343
I'd say try thicker tee and experiment with sanding/beating it for the right texture.

>>8121276
here's a video tutorial of shredding using an embroidery hoop

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PlIFJfSysA

>>8121368
nah man if you wanna layer that shit don't get thick tees to fray

get real thin ones you can't feel

>>8118688
P-Please be in NY

>>8118688

i have old shitty ugly faded west 49 skinnies, and im thinking of tearing them up, should i do it?

>>8118823
lmao what the fuck

could b really fun man, plus it has a signification and it aint random shit so thats cool

My back hurts, and it isn't even done at all, fuck these "hidden seams".

bump

>>8118823
I'd pick a better Mac lyric

>>8122591
That's badass. A little dirty, though.

>>8119407
>>8118545
Mix water with bleach, spray on clothes, you're golden. Don't use straight bleach, it's too harsh. For a darker orange/red color, use more water than bleach, and don't drench the shirt with the mix. A lot of it is experimenting to get what you want, but that's the general idea.

>>8119158
do it man; nice skinny, hand drawn vertical font and you'll be golden. good idea

>>8122591
dem ghetto honjas

shredded rick tank I did last week

>>8122752
How do you even shred like that, brah? Those are some sick waves, far out.

>>8122651
It's hard to draw over a woven or knit fabric/ paint might work better

This shit even wearable?

pls tell how oh my god thats so nice

>>8122752
really cool

>>8124741
>>8124748
If you're a fashion god. Just don't wear it with any other DIY projects. Has potential, though.

>>8124768
Oh well maybe I'll try bleaching them out completely and then redye

>>8124741
>>8124748
cuffed with an oversized white tee and doc 1461s would look killer dude. well, depending on your overall aesthetic and confidence

>>8124848
That tee is a good idea. I thought some solid black or white Timberlands would look good with it personally.

I have 3 pairs of nice, but unworn jeans. They're various brands that fit me well but just aren't quite as good as the few I have in rotation now that I've gotten more into fashion. I kind of want to try re-dying them. How would I go about this? Any guides or anything? Do I need to bleach them first?

Also any other ideas for old but nice jeans?

>>8124848
I own neither of those but here's the closest I could get. Sorry bout pic quality

And thanks for the feedback guys

>>8124939
looks better being worn

>>8124939
Looks really nice. Definetly wear them

can i get some inspo for a black denim vest???

>>8121458
She actually does live in NY. It's my GF. I took the picture when I took her out for brunch out in NJ
>>8121554
Thanks dude

>>8128021

North Jerseybro here.

Where did you take her?

If you have the cash take her to Axia in Tenafly, amazing Greek food.

>>8116148
link to tut on this pattern? or describe it to me

>>8124939
nice, I still feel chunkier dorkier shoes would work better but looks good still

tshirt was kinda diy because I took the logo off and now I love the fit. you would never guess what it was...

now for the shoes, should I paint them?

>>8128218
better dunk them in a bucket of paint that'd look better

>>8128244
white paint? what type of paint will work?

>>8128218
Dreambox x CCP drips

coffee/tea dyeing New Hanes VNeck

Damn cool thread. Shitposters don't seem to come into these.


Hopefully I can contribute something in the next couple of weeks.

>>8128306
I'm seriously enjoying the amount of tea/coffee dying in this thread. Is it a good dying technique/how do dyes turn out?

>>8128597
it's not a very deep dye- as in, you won't get an insane color change like you would from bleaching a black shirt but it can lead to some super cool pastels
really wish i knew how to sew boro shit

>>8128597
idk im about to flip it right now

>>8128306
i love wonton soup!

>>8128624
Sweet, post results when you're done.
>>8128621
Nah sounds sweet. I'll give it a try tomorrow with some white tees I have lying around. Might give shredding a shot too, I reckon it looks pre sweet.

Does anyone have the pick of the guy with the diy shredded tee under a blazer? Was a good fit and forgot to save.

>>8128629
kek

>>8128621
Is that a shirt made of recycled denim?
I feel like I should do something like that with all my shitty old denim stuff, but I would end up not even wearing it.

>>8128597

its from a play first actually

when you tea dye a shirt does it smell a lot? i wouldnt want the smell off earl grey mixing with my ysl cologne

>>8128749
>>8128749
not after a washhh...........

>>8128763
so the colour doesnt come out too much after a wash?

>>8128770
i dont plan on washing it. but if i do i plan on re-dying it and making it even darker
