From Military Surplus to Techwear

- In this video I go step by step on an easy taper method that I use to taper some combat cargo pants that are military issued. This is an easy trick to get yourself a nice tapered slim silhouette out of a cheap pair of technical military garments. This is one of the cheapest and easiest ways to get yourself a pair of techwear cargo pants.

This process was explained very well. Makes me want to pickup a sewing machine and try it myself.
Those stares man.. Piercing soul type
Yo, your videos are dope and high quality, but use more lighting. Couldn't see shit. Same with the waterproofing vid, too dark.
Thanks! Easier that I thought it’d be.
Pro tip: When marking stitch lines, make your mark so that the *edge* of the mark lines up with your measurement. That way you don't have to eyeball where the center of your mark is and you can precisely follow the measurement. When stitching, find a reference point on the presser foot of you machine and use it to guide the needle along the edge of your mark. That way you'll get both legs of the pant exactly even.
You can wax them if you want more weather proofing
@Kaisei Virden why ? There’s a wax you can put on fabric to add water resistance. Alot of hiking pants get coated with it .
I recently bought a pair of cargo pants like that and wasn't sure about changing them because I thought it would be way more difficult...but seeing this video convinced me to try it! thanks man!
Excellent work man I’ve done this in the past and nothing feels better then flipping a thrift
Excellent video. Super helpful with work pants that needed a cleaner look. BTW, loved your dad in "Shawshank Redemption". 😆😎
Would love to learn more sewing basics from you!
Yes please more tutorials on sewing!
Good job man. I'm a man also, been wanting to learn to sew. Will buy sewing machine soon. Do you happen to have a tutorial on sewing?
seriously great quality videos. so nice on the camera work. subbed!
Hammer time!
Damn i wish i knew how to sew. I fly fish alot and my clothes get torn by thicket and trees and cactus. Your pants look like ninja.
so cool that u know this skill!!! thanks 4 sharing, they look great
thats dope
yooooo thanks for the video!!^^ i have a couple of cargos to remake now^^
* Antwon approval *
nice pants good job ,
I like really thin and straight up to the knee and only half way through the knee getting really wide and baggy, and it's really hard to get something like this, they always do it much bellow the knee which makes you look like Aladdin.
Got that JobbyTheHong music 🎶
Dont think ill manage to do this but i subscribed and maybe ill try in the future keep these vids coming
great video thanks
Love this!!
Thanks for showing this. Great video.
Do you have any idea why my pants are always bulging in the front?
The crotch area. They always do. Even tailored made.
awesome vid , I cant make like that but great vid!
Great! I thought it would be far more difficult!
you can also put a small slit on both side of the cargo pockets and place straps giving it a detail teck look. great vid
Dope video
Anthoni Bustmante thank you!
So the cut should be on the inside of the leg? Cuz I've seen some other tutorials and they done it on the outside. i really wanna do this on my cargos and i dont wanna fuck it up
Sick bro ! All you need for more water proof is wax . Wax them and bam water proof
did you just fart I heard you
do you have a link to a good tutorial on how to implement a zipper at the bottom of the pants, mch like the ACRNM P-10 does have? I dd a zipper in my second pants alteration, but it did not work out as well as i wanted it to, so a tutorial would be helpful. If i do not find any tutorials on this, i might as well make one myself, though.
Sew Much Black I’ve been working on a video that would include some alternative tapering methods than the one shown in the video and there is a zipper method, not quite the same as the p-10 pants though more like those stone island wide leg pants from last shadow project season so you should make one where it’s like the p-10s because that is an awesome feature to have on pants!
sound like a good idea. planning that to release at the end of this year.
Which shoes are those? They look absolutely sick
Y-3 qasa
@@DakotaPerez1 Ok thanks! I used this fantastic tutorial btw to taper some 5.11 quantum TDU pants and they turned out awesome, love the high quality production.
@@justinjager8412 awesome bro those pants r nice I have a few too
Hey what is that shoe I see in the background? It looks like a nmd xr1 winter but I have never seen a black color way of that shoe
Wait nevermind
This scissors are comically large lol
Its not an office scissors.
Exler Dr. jeez man way to ruin the mood dude
Comically large scissors optional? :)

FYI - Janome isn't pronounced Jan-ome, it's Ja-Gnome-ey. ( or Jah- Noh - Meh, it's a japanese word)
you got that thousand mile stare, i fw the vid but you gotta loosen up a bit man haha no disrespect
Mystxry I get you this video in particular is a reshoot after a bunch of issues so I was not having it that day hahaha
@@DakotaPerez1 hahaha yeah i feel you
Will machine work on Leather?
+Ramon Solorio depending on how thick it should, as long as I use leather needles
Nice. Thx. Great vid.
what did you say your measurements are?
getsome07 for pants I’m a size 36” but for the alteration I did I tapered a 6” leg opening!
Perez means "pepper" in Russian hehe
Of course your machine would be black 👍🏽
What the hell did I just watch?
Before better
Please no more techwear videos from you sir. Your not certified. Stick to fix frays on golf sweaters or tips and snags on polo lol. Good day.
