Made with Suit Canvas | A pin collar, rolled hem, chambray shirt
Переглядів 1,1 тис.2 роки тому
note: I realized too late that I got the direction of the stiffness on the canvas mixed up, bending the cross-grain is what is stiff. So on a suit jacket, with the straight grain going head to hip, it will be stiffer across the chest to help with shaping and bending forward will be softer. As tempting as it was for me to call this a "Full-Canvas Shirt" (even though the click bait might have wor...

Probably a better title than what I named my script, which was "Robby Johnson's Wild and Wacky Blues Adventure (featuring Satan)", but what do I know about good titles anyways? Me and the Devil Blues (Japanese: Ore to Akuma no Blues) is a manga by Akira Hiramoto about Robert Johnson, the man who supposedly sold his soul to the devil to attain mastery of the guitar and blues music.

Making a Floral Shirt from Vintage (grandmother's) Fabric

I made a shirt from fabric passed down from my grandmother! Talking a bit about why I started making clothes and the details I care about. The shirt has a Cuban/Camp Collar (I've also seen it called a "Lapel Shirt")
Dyeing Leather with Coffee
Переглядів 1,2 тис.2 роки тому
Dyeing vegetable tanned sheepskin leather...with coffee! Soaking leather in water is rarely advised as veg-tanned leather on its own is not waterproof. Coffee beans contain oil which hopefully helps to minimize the damage if not soaked for too long, but I wouldn't recommend this beyond small accessories and denim patches. #Coffee #Leather

Great video. I learned about denim and knives. Thnx

Hi! Where can we find the pattern for these trousers? I can't seem to find it in your archive :(
What resources do you recommend for learning?
Hopefully you come back soon!
Beautiful ❤
May i ask why it used pleated on jacket?
Your great
I love this. When you talked about your client wearing only your shirts and coming back to order more touched my heart somehow and helped me realize that's the reason I originally got into sewing and eventually realized that this is what I need to do with my life. Thanks for the reminder.
Thank you for all your time and effort❤
Could you tell me where I could buy the trucker jacket with the stripe on the arm
It’s by a Japanese brand called momotaro,
Can confirm, it is a momotaro jacket.
Nice and spot on essay. I love this movie. The sexual undertones are relentless.
shut up, nerd
Love your facts on Levi but what's up with the swipe or Chicago?
Sorry what do you mean by "the swipe or Chicago"?
Would you be able to make a pattern for this waistcoat ? I’ve been trying to find one with these specific characteristics at the collar and can’t find anything worthwhile
I'm not a professional by any means, and I'm not familiar with the process for digitizing and grading patterns but if you have a suit collar pattern and a waistcoat pattern with a lapel you can combine them, it would probably take some tinkering but secretly mine wasn't perfect either, the collar wasn't wide enough and it left a gap between the collar and lapel.
People who are passionate about denim interesting
I liked this video. Now I can watch the Bear with my wife and pretend like I know everything about vintage clothing. Thanks homie
This was insanse! Amazing job!
Is this sowing pattern available somewhere?
Trying to understand the point of this video other than to show that you’re knowledgeable about an esoteric topic. If you want to appeal to a wider audience, it would be helpful to provide more context or motivation behind these arcane details. I feel like I wasted my time learning about vintage Levi’s, as you’ve done nothing to disabuse me of the notion that there is nothing particularly special about them. And as a lawyer, I do find legal dramas cringe, but I wouldn’t do what you did here, because I’d be talking above my audience, and no one would find it entertaining or even informative. This is the case here.
nah boy speak for yourself I find this video very entertaining and informative, maybe that lawyer job isnt soo good for your mental health considering how negative you come off as
I found it entertaining. I didn't feel talked down to. Your point no longer stands.
LMAO at someone taking the time to watch the video and write that comment. "I don't even care bro" lolllllll
Then you should waste more time learning about It of you still not convinced
such miserable existence
No pattern ?
absolute gem of a video
Those turned out wonderfully! And I love the outfits you put together!
Hello i've rently been to Osaka and discovered your videos, I want to learn more about denim/levis through books. Do you have any to recommend ? Thank's !
Ooh interesting question, Ametora by W. David Marx and Worn by Sofi Thanhauser are fantastic, neither are entirely about denim though, but have a lot of interesting history. There's also the denim dedicated website Heddels, which while a lot of their recent stuff is behind a paywall and not as good as their older stuff in my opinion, is still great. Their article on dating vintage Levis is a great resource that I often end up referencing. Hope that helps!
Thank's a lot it will definitly help a lot, Have a great day ! @@distressedtailor
How wide is the waistband ?
About 2.5 inches
@@distressedtailor Thank you !
Wow amazing. ❤
Great video thanks
This video is fantastic and exactly what I've been looking for. I've been wanting to make gurkhas for a while. This will definitely help. Thanks so much.
Can you turn oversized pants into pleated ghurkas?
Very nice to watch and learn more Thank you for putting so much time into this sewing presentation Really enjoyed I hope I can improve a little more from your valuable sharing
Wassup cousin
Masterpiece!
Love your apron. ❤❤❤
the texture of your fabric looks nice, the idea is wonderful , but just, it looks a little flabby around your thigh
I prefer "girthy" tyvm
The second on is sick
What kind of pattern did you use for these trousers?! They look awesome
It's a jeans pattern (trouser with a straight outseam) expanded to accommodate pleats. One day I'll make a video about how to draft that pattern but life is super hectic at the moment
@@distressedtailor I would love that, I'll keep an eye open for it whenever you decide to make it :) Thanks!
I feel you. I’m a software guy and seeing computer stuff on screen is tough sometimes with all the errors. Thanks for the fascinating info on denim in The Bear.
Tokonole and a wood slicker on the back will smooth out the flesh side.
Brother can you explain a little bit more and make a video of cutting gurkha trauser i am a little bit confuse after watching
I am working on one but I'm slow to upload because this is just a fun hobby and these videos are a lot of work. What are you confused by?
I've watched a couple of your videos. I like it when men make their own clothes. I like how you introduce the topic and your design and fabric choice approach. You do a great job of sewing and I really like your choice of teal denim. You have the right body to wear this style. However, for all of your meticulousness, I am surprised you didn't iron your fabric to remove the wrinkles before cutting out the pattern.
That's probably the most thorough review of my videos I've gotten so far, I really appreciate it! As for the ironing, if I can prattle on for probably too long, I have a weird mixed inspiration from raw denim and what I was taught when I worked at a menswear store, with the rest being self taught so I can have these weird gaps in my knowledge. Raw denim has this sort of minimal ironing ideology because too much ironing would flatten the natural texture of the material in a way. This sort of makes sense when you're talking about denim with uneven tension (a weirdly prized detail in the denim world) that's taken right off the bolt for cutting, but maybe not as much for me with my consumer denim fabric that's been folded up and packed in a box, but that didn't stop me from wanting to be true to form. On the menswear end, the tailor who taught me a lot of the basics told me that if I ironed too much I would be forcing the fabric into a different shape and not following the feeling of the fabric. I took that a little too much to heart and also I think misunderstood it a bit. She was probably just being cautious since I was using an industrial iron with a vacuum board and could very easy shrink or stretch the fabric if I wasn't careful, but I just lumped it together with the denim ideology and didn't think on it much after. She also taught me how to shrink and shape fabric with the press, but I never went back to check on my basics so I never really thought about it again until my yellow waistcoat video where I studied up on tailoring a lot more and realized (about halfway through filming it mind you) that I probably should've been ironing a lot more throughout the entire process. Anyways, tldr, I should buy a larger ironing board lol
Please make more content I would appreciate it it's really good
Thanks! I have more stuff on the way, new video should be up in the next week or two, hopefully
@@distressedtailorjust here to say we are absolutely still waiting!
Amazing! What type of paint did you use? Was it fabric paint, acrylic? How will you clean it? Anyway, I've watched a couple of your vids and I've subscribed. Great work!
I used fabric paint. The first wash I did by hand just to be safe but I've since washed it in a machine using cold water on the gentle cycle. Glad you like the vids!
I just want to thank you for this! I was looking into pleats to alter some pants and I'm so glad to finally see someone point out how the extra fabric allows easy motion while the structure keeps a strong silhouette! All the other people talked about the appearance so I was starting to wonder if the ease of motion was just my wishful thinking.
Yeah it was a similar experience for me, pleats (or any other design element) has to be rooted in some sort of function. If it looks better I want to know why, and if it feels better I want to know why, even better if it does both!
Very beautiful. I think I'll get one
0:28 lol that's how i feel whenever skateboarding pops up in regular media or an ad. Anyway good vid, I enjoyed this look into the denim subculture
Absolutely love the colour of that denim, where did you get it?
I got it from Blackbird Fabrics in Vancouver! They don't seem to have it at the moment but they have a great selection
I like the plaid in your original vest. Good for you for doing your own tailoring. We need more people learning this craft, even for making their own wardrobes. I suggest not using cheap waxed tailor's chalk. Use Jinbutsu brand instead. It's nice to see a fellow Canadian interested in sartorial clothes
Thanks for the reco on chalk! I've had a hard time finding chalk I like and the local shops I've been to haven't had much selection.
(Your tangent around the 12:30 minute mark) I totally agree! I’m helping my partner build his capsule wardrobe right now, and I’m really surprised to find so many people who value where and how our clothing comes from. Additionally, I love the artistry and perspective you have on your craft. It’s absolutely beautiful.
Hello from Dallas ❤ Your channel is incredibly divine. Please make more content! Supporter over here :)
Thanks so much for the kind words! Definitely working on more stuff but these videos can end up taking a lot of work and my free time isn't what it used to be :(
