Has anyone here had any experience with trying to DIY a Rick Owens style t-shirt?

The one I own seems like it was DIY'd, to be quite honest. Look at this neck opening. You can literally see scissor marks..

How do you go about doing this? Mainly, I don't know what sort of cotton I'd need to buy to get something similar to Rick's unstable cotton.

>> No.8139693

You'd need to source some very fine quality jersey, cotton, silk, etc. depending on what kind of Rick tee you want to replicate. Rick spends generally between $50 - $300 per yard on his material, and you'll need at least 3 yards. Then you'll need to be able to draft the pattern...important features being high armscyes and backseam. You'll of course need an overlock machine to sew the stretchy fabric--can't use a regular sewing machine. So right around starting costs you're looking at $1500 and at least 15 hrs of work. Good luck!

dunno how to make rick tanks because a curved back seam and sewing raw edges seems like too much work, but it's easy to make designer looking tanks to layer or wear alone

it's real simple

just go looking for old tee shirts or tank tops until you find one with a soft, thin material like viscose, look for sheer shirts

then just cut it to how you want it, it takes practice to shape the edges (like the bottom) to drape how you want them to, but it works
>>8139640
and this, you can experiment with shredding the bottoms of tanks to create more texture, then layer with unfrayed tanks to add more contrast

>> No.8139726

There is actually not anything that is TECHNICALLY demanding as far as the pattern goes with a Rick shirt - you can definitely go to a local stockist, buy a shirt - riff the pattern and then return it...
(in fact that is exactly what rick did during ealry bits of his career).

the fabric is expensive - VERY EXPENSIVE
such that they often demand a rather large minimum yardage before you can cop a feel

you could email rick owens support, there's a email on his website
alternatively you could bring in a rick t-shirt to a fabric store and ask if they have anything similar...
truth be told you'll be at a loss both in time and dosh spent through all of this so .... ?

you can't usurp mr. owens

Yeah, bullshit. I have a rick tee here right now. $300 per yard of this fabric is a hilarious estimate. I could imagine $30-$50.

Ideally I'd be replicating the unstable cotton tee.

$1500 and 15 hours of work is absurd. The amount of work required to actually make this tee is NOT A LOT, the majority of the time would be spent drafting a pattern. Which again, is not very complex- it's a damn tshirt. The backseam is a minute detail but is only marginally important. The most important thing here seems to be the length- the sleeves especially. The sleeves are also tapered toward the opening, which causes the arms to stack as they near the wrist.

There are no hems, everything on this shirt is a raw edge except for the neck hole. This shirt honestly feels DIY'd, the only difficult part about it is figuring out what sort of fabric to use..

Yeah the problem is there is a MINIMUM yardage you would need to order.
you could try getting in contact with the factory and asking 'yo could i grav 3m of your finest cash' ???

it is a very specific and characteristic motief, i find it accentuates the pectorial girdle wonderfully

that's the truth

it's marked up because it's by rick owens, aka a trendy designer, the one that's been trending for years and years

so of course wholesale is s/t like $60
but where are YOU going to find wholesale?

This is only true if I order directly from the same manufacturer. Which would be difficult, time consuming, and expensive. It is a thin jersey cotton.Surely, someone out there makes something similar to Rick's unstable cotton that isn't impossible or that expensive to get a hold of.

>really the most technically demanding part is the position of the shoulder seam and arm hole. it is a very specific and characteristic motief, i find it accentuates the pectorial girdle wonderfully

Calm your fucking tits, the cut on a Rick tee is not that great. It is a good cut but it is a fucking t-shirt. Fabric and the wearer's body is more important than cut.

also if you want to layer, obviously don't buy thick tees to DIY

ive had the best luck with very thin tees

if it's soft like 100% cotton or a poly-cotton blend it's very easy to add fraying and distressing, and the cutting for the raw edge on the bottom (which could be anything if you use your imagination, asymmetric cut, some weird cut i dont know)

then you can just layer it with a thicker tee and not feel it

i'm just saying your train of thought is kind of base, everything has a markup and of course you will see it a greater monatary level with luxury goods but proportionally the mark up is roughly the same, sometimes less (in regards to fast fashion at least)
yeah ... that's why everyone stocks rick ... because it's the most commercial label atm.
there are literally SEVERAL different rick owens stockists within 1/2km radius in cities that can sustain a luxury market

void offered things that rick did not (that panelled hoodie, those cut up shirts etc) along with rick inspiried shit (t-shirts, dropped trousers and shorts)

there is a very specific cut to the armhole and shoulder seam such that the armhole is raised very high and the sleeve sits right into the armpit with the sleeve opening sitting at the top of the lateral clavicle - acromion process, followed with a taper to the hem.
this produces a taunt drape over the muscles involving the pectorial girdle
can you prove me wrong?

the material is also very important in fit, well of course - material dictates course (you're not going to make a sky scraper out of sand)

sorry if that needed clarification

it's just that rick owens is expensive at retail price, therefore there's always the newcomers who've never given any thought to it asking us "Why should I buy expensive clothing if it's ugly?"

that's why we answer QUALITY and individuality of the brand

(rick owens has a unique appeal, and the discussion of it on /fa/ never stops, that's why i chose that as an example for you)

>proportionally the mark up is roughly the same
hahahaha

i hope you don't actually believe it costs close to $1200 to manufacture a pair of geobaskets

void didn't offer SHIT selling wise, all he did was make very few basic "avante-garde" clothing pieces easily accessible to the wide proportion of /fa/ users

he marked it up too haha, because he was in it to win it, come on

not hard to fool /fa/

what was it again? $100 for a pair of his sweatpants? a pair of sweatpants with a back pocket and a zipper? must cost a load for production dohoho

the ugly sentiment doesnt fit into anything...
the whole question posed (involved with why someone should buy rick) has no relevance with what we're discussing (why luxury goods command a particular pricepoint when retailed).
i don't know why ...

you missed the point with the proportional thing...
to make a pair of crocodile teeth rubber, deerskin geobaskets in a DEDICATED factory in Italy has its costs of production (including wage (they get paid well btw), costs of running the factory blah blah)...
maybe the cost of producing one geobasket is 200 (i dont know really, i dont care to know because it doesnt matter in this circumstance) but the cost of making 1 zara t-shirt in bangladesh factory is s/t like 80c? and they flip that for $40?
is that s/t like a 5000% markup?
see thats the connection i made, PROPOTIONALLY the markup is actually LARGER than a geobasket markup which i can GURANTEE is less than 1000% and that's almost the going rate for most consumer goods...

i don't think you have good comprehension.
he actually did offer shit, you could email him and ask if something was possible and go through the steps...
what do you mean he didnt offer something you monogloid?
he fucking offered a mtm service for a select number of models HE produced and a very real possibility for customisation

of course he marked up ... hombre ain makin u shit for free
homi needs to eat, like don't you know how shit works?

i dont know boud you man but when i buy a bit of paper to rub the shit off my ass with i dont feel fooled in the slightest
and it also has a markup

he had to source his fabrics from a fabric store (pricy), zippers everything the markup wasnt that much for a VERY small operation he did indepently out of his apartment - despite taking time out of his program for this he still made it to antwerp - goda rock one for the hustler V___V

like there are some huge gaps in knowledge here or s/t

i thought t-shirts?
racer backs also have a very deliberate cut which i could expand on if wanted ?

just google rick owens t-shirt perfablly one with a profile, front and back
you'll see how it's taunt over the trapezium and scapularis muscles as well as through the chest (... for the basic run of cotton, silk/visc tees atleast)
the armholes are raised high so that the sleeve can go right into the armpit, allows the fabric to lie close to the body along the chest (compre to a shitty oxford or s/t that has HUGE armholes disallowing this tightness since the fabric floats from the body)
because the top of the sleeve is sitting ON the body and not off the shoulder and into the arm the sleeve is forced to follow from ABOVE the shoulder AROUND the deltoid and into the cuffs (along the arm)
it's actually hard to articulate through words - just google images.

profit made on each item is arbitrary, the mark up is a more accurate indicator of monetary gain.

i addressed the second part, zara instead of AA because AA is weird.
well, not fully because i didnt feel like i needed to explain how cost of production decreases with increased volume but, do i really need to explain that if im trying to prove mark up comparisons?
i guess volume is a concern there but do people not know that there is a much greater volume of zara than rick?

what's your point?

lol that image.

I honestly think everyone is aware of that.

Again, you're arguments are really incoherent.

I'll try to explain why.

you said

>not everyone knows it, dipshit

and then you said this as if it backed up that not everybody knows markups exist on clothing products.

>why do you think this board lacks quality trips and posters? why do you think this board collectively dresses like shit wearing nike trainers and sweats? why do you think this board isn't a fucking toilet bowl man?


Maybe you're trying to say this board is filled with idiots. That's kinda true, but even idiots know that when they buy their flyknits or whatever, Nike corporation will be making some profit from them.

To answer the question though. Most of the content is shit on this board because it's not really a fashion board like it should be. It's a "what are some dope white sneakers for < 150 dollars" board. I'm not hating on people who have a strict budget, I'm just saying the demographic that this board attracts is one that is young, often lacking in taste and isn't interested in quality.

pece tho

also fuck turnleft

i don't get how you find it incoherent honestly

>it has the markup because it's rick owens, an amazing, top of the line designer who has created his own niche people want a part in
>exclusivity takes in, and the price is marked up from the original overhead/production/employee/employer price (which the original cost of BNIB geos could be less than $600 for all we know)
>CPs are beautiful, albeit not as well made as RO, but their markup is not justifiable by the means of "people need to eat", it's because "people need to feed the monkey"

I could easily argue that cps are worth the markup more than geos or sidezips because the minimal aesthetic will be more enduring than rick's one.

I seriously gotta get my work done so I'm out. I would never buy cps because I think they're boring and I own a few Rick pieces (I'd have more if I had more disposable income). I totally understand and love Rick's aesthetic, but I'm not stupid enough to think that it's going to be as enduring as some tasteful and conservative lowtops.

OP here. I'm back. This is such a shit thread.

I just wanted to know where I can find cotton similar to Rick's unstable cotton. You are all retarded.

no idea why that retard thinks I'm trying to "flip" my rick shirt. I posted the pic of it to show the "craftsmunship" of the garment (lmao nice fucked neckline) and how it could have been DIY'd.

its ironic that you're talking about longevity while talking about owning geos. how are those heel staples treating you retard

i dont own cps or geos but i would definitely think the cps would outlast the geos from both a durability and aesthetic standpoint

no fucking shit that's why i mentioned not owning them
