    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.

    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.
