>>9605130
Dye brown leather into black. Distress with da sand paper after. Swap out laces with the same ones the kanye used in his boosts (3M laces).

>>9605160
sounds awesome, thx man

>>9605173
No problem. Not sure what you'll do with that stupid brown rubber sole. Maybe dye that too somehow if you can. Sharpie if you wanna do it fast and cheap

>>9605203
Rubber dip

dip dyeing didn't work too good, so I touched it up with spray paint.

Hopefully just going to hand wash it and it should stand up pretty good.

How do you rubber dip? Seems dangerous as fuck

In all seriousness I used to get shit like this on my jeans all of the time due to the griptape off my skateboard rubbing against it when walking and carrying my board.

theres a ykk location 5 mins from my house, i think its a factory
can i just walk in and buy a bunch of zips or something

>>9606111
>>9606148

actually don't know tbh
you can buy 1" wide rolls of nylon off amazon or just by googling "nylon straps" take your pick from there

>>9605699
>raw hemming and distressing a charcoal tshirt

My understanding is that if you make something into a raw hem it will start to unravel and roll? especially when you wash it

>>9606203
i actually asked my mother about this (used to be big into sewing)

she said the structure of most modern tshirts are 'knitted' in that they stay together with very little, if any, unraveling if you raw hem them

ill double check to see if that is the case, but thats what she said from memory

>>9606213
cool i want to do the same to a black t shirt i have

>>9605576
Like it.

>>9605438
sick looks pro

>>9605438
Just looks like deoderant

>>9605576

>>9605130

How do I fuck these things up quickly?

>>9606592
Fire, it works every time.

How can I naturally whiten a shirt through hand washing?

>>9605156
Wear them when you visit your mom you fucking cunt

>>9606592
take em on a 30 minute walk after it has rained, obliterated

>>9605144
How tf do achieve this?
I've seen some people like take cheeze-graters to their shirts i think?

Fuck this stuff would be cool at like the bottom of a t-shirt or somthing

>>9606700
>Go to zoo
>Climb in with Tigers
>After 1st or 2nd bite run away.

>>9606700
Cheesegrater do work, although for knit sweaters, i find that its best to use a seam ripper and find the joining loops slash pattern flaw and surgicaly sabotage. Wash afterwards for fray

>>9605370
And i leaned in close.
It wispered to me.
"Crust pants general".
It said softly.
And i wept.

>>9605011
You guys are ridiculous.
Wear one fit for a year, and actually leave your house.

>>9606148
why not give it a try? You might even get them for free if you're nice. Just go in and pretend to be interested.

>>9606738
Straight. No wash.
