The U.S. Bombs one is pretty basic, and unfortunately I rolled a little paint off of the stencil and onto the shirt. I'm pretty happy with the way the Operation Ivy one came out, though.

asdf 12-10-2005 12:53 AM

Definitely like the op ivy one.

Brain Toad 12-10-2005 12:57 AM

The Op Ivy one looks nice.
I don't think the little smudge on the US Bombs ruins it, adds a bit of character and a lot of fake stencil shirts have those marks anyway.

asdf 12-10-2005 12:59 AM

Yeah, I did that on my Residents shirt. No one really notices it, and it gives it that nice homemade look.

does anyone have a white hat that they really like but because it's white you always get those nasty sweat stains in it, but you won't wash it because it will lose its shape? well here is something for you...instead of using bleach which will ruin the fibres in your hat and make it smell funky, apply a liberal amount of whitening mouthwash onto a cloth (ensure the mouthwash is clear in colour), and then rub the mouthwashy cloth over the sweat stained parts of the hat in question. make sure the mouthwash soakes in, but do not apply to much as that will result in the previously mentioned adverse effects. Leave the hat to completely dry out (about 20 mins with the correct amount of fluid) and you will be left with a brilliantly white, perfectly shaped hat which is also minty fresh

Okay, basically, doesn't that just break down to "Washing white hats with mouthwash works?" That's actually pretty cool though, washing stuff with mouthwash.

Jessizzle 12-10-2005 08:44 AM

Orange slices clean chucks very nicely.

strange that this should come up, since just yesterday my friends noticed this giant sweat stain in our friend's hat. Unfortunately, the inside of the hat is red, so I don't think that this method will work. Still nice to know, and I'll try it sometime.

Liebensaft 12-10-2005 12:43 PM

That Op Ivy shirt is awesome.

Brain Toad 12-10-2005 12:50 PM

You could always get one of those hat washing cages at the store. They cost like 2 bucks at Big Lots. You just put it in there and throw it in the washer with your regular clothes. That's how I wash my hat, and I wear the thing every single day.

Liebensaft 12-10-2005 12:51 PM

*doesn't have a hat* :upset:

asdf 12-10-2005 01:14 PM

I have a tophat. :cool:

Ghostfire3 12-10-2005 01:46 PM

I want a scally cap but they're muy expensivo.

skavid 12-10-2005 06:58 PM

I have a really old flatcap. It is the most awesomely cool looking hat.

good rats 12-10-2005 07:02 PM

Yesterday I drew up a simple AM! stencil. It just says Against Me! in that font they always use, and its going to have a pink or yellow, not sure yet, lightning bolt behind the Against Me! part.

Today or tomorrow I'm going to get some fabric paint and a black t-shirt.

Liebensaft 12-10-2005 07:31 PM

I'd go with the pink.

skavid 12-10-2005 09:36 PM

So one of my friends and I spray painted the hood of his car into a brickwork design. Almost photoreal looking, but still looks handsprayed. I should have pictures in the next few days.

Liebensaft 12-10-2005 09:43 PM

Read that out loud a few times and tell me how it sounds.


Was alcohol involved?

Haha. No alcohol or other mind-altering drugs. It was his idea.

Weezerfan_returns 12-11-2005 02:54 AM

how would you recomend making patches. Im talking like, the printed kind, not the embroidered ones.

good rats 12-11-2005 04:00 AM

[QUOTE=Weezerfan_returns]how would you recomend making patches. Im talking like, the printed kind, not the embroidered ones.[/QUOTE]
I dont really make them, but you could try getting a bit of fabric, like..canvas kinda material, a stencil and fabric paint. Thats what my friend does anyway.

Yes, it's not real leather.

But it's REALLY nice.
I have one, I patched and studded it.
It's about $160, I think.
