I dont think people know how hard it is to make new stuff look used. Theres loads of critics but very few who can do this stuff well. I do it with lettering and signs and bits and pieces, plus a few bikes. Try it and if people notice then you've done it wrong. Great work - Im just starting in on clothes now.
The funniest thing that I remember was the day that my girlfriend and I were wearing Levi's at a party that were scorched and burnt around the holes and bottoms of the legs. When a guy asked us where we got them, I told him that we had paid £180 for them at a designer shop and he actually believed me. In reality, a few weeks earlier when some kids had set the grass alight at the campsite. After we realized that the knee high fire was spreading faster than our boots could boots could put it out and it was getting close to one of the tents, we both took our jeans off and used them to beat the flames down. It was amazing how little damage it caused and even where the denim was smoldering around the rips and holes, it was easy to put them out with our calloused working hands.
I’ve had this video saved for a couple years and came back to it multiple times. Sent it to a bunch of people as well. Just a good example of someone with a very specific vision, tools and knowledge to execute. Dig it.
I’ve seen the Madeworn T-shirt’s on several people and am always shocked at how perfectly imperfect they are!!! I’m obsessed!!! I can’t afford $160 T-shirt’s but whenever I am able to, you can bet I will definitely be buying them! This video doesn’t do the T-shirt’s justice. Seriously. If you see one in person it will nearly take your breath away haha! This man is brilliant.
When I first saw this video 3 years ago, I thought this was crazy. Now, after getting my first pair of selvedge denim, I really want to send a denim shirt to this guy
I just started getting into distressing t shirts with scissors and bleach and I made a sick shirt yesterday... gonna use some of these methods described and take it to the next level. Thanks
@@jedddd4sun fade & hot boiled water is the only thing that natural and organic when you try to make ur t shirt or hoodie look used and vintage. if u want some method and go deep into it go to reddit there’s so many people that enthusiastic when it comes to making new t shirt look old.
Dude that squirrel was awesome and it reminds me of one time me and a friend were sitting in a trench I dug and a squirrel came right up and sniffed our airsoft guns I was like “Best airsoft experiences ever!”
Love this! Good for you! You’ve found an awesome niche for your talent and imagination! I want to distress new canvas Vans. Do you have any suggestions for me. I better stay away from fire😂
@@bleepbloop9251 i said like not buy what does liking a style have anything to do with being able to afford it broke ppl who are into fashion diy this stuff all the time anyway or save up for it
Ah my god...Love your philosophy and energy, and your place. Nice work as well, of course. Btw...I'm kicking myself I never had my old Westy Dog stuffed. Inspired.
Can anyone suggest how to make a brand new hi vis vest look vintage? It's just one of those cheap polyester one's you see people on construction sites wearing. Tks.
If you want to see how hard is the weather something grab you a model car that goes plastic model car kits and 124 scale and try to make a rusted weathered looking car out of it and make it look real that's why it's very hard to weather items to make look natural
160$ is a little steep for me. There is too many DIY videos on TH-cam for me to pay 160$. Plus this video itself gave me some things to use to just do it myself
Just use color safe bleach then wash it scrub it again and again about 5 times then rinse it then again wash it then youll notice the color is faded like the one you see in the thriftstores
All my clothes looks like s*** and I tried to keep them nice. Maybe I should sell my shity t-shirts for 160.00$. Hey God bless you guys I think it's pretty cool what you guys are doing!
What I love: he followed his heart. Even better was that once he did, there are people who want to pay him for what he creates. His price point is what the market dictates. If there isn't a continued demand for it, he could not sell them for his shop prices them at. It is interesting how this has become quite 'hip'. It would make sense there is a niche for this bec the trend in America is quantity over quality and the idea of wearing the same thing over and over again (bec you genuinely love a piece of clothing) is NOT that common. Europeans seem to practice an approach of having very few pieces (of very high quality) which they truly love and wear them often. When I think about all the annual award shows which many, many celebrities go to, it is absolutely unthinkable and a major fashion faux pas if anyone of these people wore a gown or dress more than once. Makes you wonder where ALL those very fancy dresses go to once they've been worn for the first and the last time. I just picked up a wonderfully made corduroy jacket at the secondhand store. It is a brown bronze color and towards the back bottom hem, about the size of a palm, is a noticeably faded part. I thought it looked cool and want to spread out more of that same effect. This video is def inspiring me. Metal brushes and sandpaper here I come!
Maybe like $50 a tee, the quality and work put in to making them look that way isn’t worth $160... it’s not too hard to pre-age clothing, as for the leather that’s understandable if you actually made it.
I'd rather wear out a nice pair of pants because it really just tells a story. It went with you everywhere. It's just more important to you because there will never be another one like it. I dont know a good word to use, but I guess it just seems more artificial I guess.
@@colemancalgary5260 There's no Walmart at my country. I buy my jeans at Levi's or Lee, sometimes Big Star. They stay for 3 years at most, and no, I'm not overweight, I work at the office etc. Don't know why they wear so quickly.
@@malcallm Within brands there''s better quality and more expensive clothing. Some Levi pants are like 200 bucks or more then theres some for 60. 60 ones wont last you long. Just understand quality material. Not everything that is high quality will be expensive but most are. ALSO... Do not wear the same jeans too often. Buy several good quality ones and rotate them constantly. I have 8 year old pair of jeans that look practically new. Take care of your stuff...but here, well the guy just distresses them. (basically is tearing them apart enough for them to still be worn but wont last much after)
@@malcallm My heavy cowhide leather jeans have survived for about 18years, despite crushing the burning curtains out against them when a friends lounge caught on fire. 😊

Why don't you sell all your vintage clothes to him so he can have real vintage stock😂

This is one of the coolest videos on TH-cam!!!! What a dude!
this really helped me. i was looking for how to give a certain effect to denim for a college project for god known how long.

Gotta love cool weathered clothes
You make really neat stuff
I like the way they work, and the prices sound great. If I had the money I would definetly buy a piece.
As an aspiring designer, this was enjoyable and inspiring!
This is dope. Is not for everyone, but so comforting aging stuff. This dude definitely be a buddy of mine 😢
I wish this vid was like an hour long
This is what hipsters artists wears not hatin btw i mean he’s a great designer and I respect his style
That level of distressed isn't my style personally, but the work these guys do is art!
I love the used look it goes with my style omg!! I love torn clothes, teach me tips please
Just stumbled across this and love it. I can dig it
Wear n tare department!!
I love your place and ur artistry!!!
ur wonderful!!!!
I never thought of using fire?! Definitely need to try that next time I’m weathering something
It's like a Jason Mamoa wet dream

This is VERY cool. Bravo!
Of you want to distress a pair of pants, give them to a roofer to work in for about 2 weeks.
lol
Man, this is gold 😂

Well done!

Thank you for sharing.
Love the vibes
we live in a crazy world literally
It's such a slap in the face to poor people that rich people think "shabby chic" or the "homeless or hipster?" Movements are cool.
Poor people like this stuff too? What are you on?
This isn't a poor vs rich thing this is just people expressing themselves through worn clothing.

This is the most hipster thing I’ve seen in a while
This concepts been around for ages man. People in the 70s used to wash their jeans in the river to get that stonewash look. It's the same thing.
The more hipsterish thing was the workarea though, normal people dont have that kind of stuff around LOL
what is OP on about
@@SwedishEmpire1700 ‘normal’ is subjective af tho
Dead from Mayhem would be proud of you.

How about making old clothes look new. Now that would be a skill that's actually useful.

I should send him some of my work clothes for inspiration.

Yeah it's bizarre. People buy brand new things for that..then pay extra to age it.
Like...just wear it, it's free.
Cool work.

really cool
Bobbe Lee on bad friends podcast brought me here
Hi I really enjoyed your video, I have a question. Do you have any advice for aging my black Dickies jacket? I really want an faded grey aged look :)
Wear it everywhere and wash it then in. Few years it should fade that is if it’s 100percent cotton and not polyester
I’m gonna donate my work clothes to him for inspiration
