In short, what paint do you guys usually use for your shirts? Also, let me add on to that, what do you use for jackets?

So guys.

My boyfriend's birthday is coming up.

Next month.

We were talking yesterday, and he was all like "Man, I wish I could find a Leftover Crack t-shirt" [I was telling him I have one, but it's a skirt now...yeah, you guys saw that].

But I don't know his t-shirt size, so I thought, hey, back-patch.

I'll make him a back-patch he can stick on a shirt or jacket or what-have-you.

Now my question to you would be --

What would be the best way to do this with insanely limited resources [read: with every day household items beacuse I've no cash to buy anything more with nor will I be able to drive up to Tucson any time soon to buy said "more"]?

And I mean seriously, like. Beyond sharpie =/

I really need to get back into DIY stuff. I tried to make a Municipal Waste stencil the other day, and I just failed horribly.

Anyone have a DIY way of fixing hearing? For over a week I haven't been able to hear correctly, and often when I breath, I'm also sort of breathing out of my right ear.

I'm scared that I've done permanant damage :(

sounds like some sort of cold. I guess just eat vitamins and drink lots of water/ soup, should go away quick enough.

BTW sweet jacket Jon

You aughtta clean your ear out with rubbing alcohol and a q-tip

His t-shirt size probably wouldn't be too hard to figure out. if he's average weight and is like, 5'3-5'7, he's probably a medium, any taller probably large, and if he's chubby add a size. Or hell, next time you're making out with him take his shirt off and look at the size.

As for the back patch, a sharpie would probably work. I've never tried it, but those silver sharpies might work on dark fabric too. Either way, just buy a $2 shirt from your local thrift store, cut it, and go nuts.

That's kind of redundant.

I think he gets custom fitted shirts or summat, 'cause the boy's 6 feet tall but skinny as all getout.

Never seen him in a baggy shirt, but his shirts always come down all the way. Confuses me, it does.

But thanks mans, thanks.

well tbh they're all huge influences on me, so that's what I go by. If you don't like them then that's cool by you, but you can't say that they aren't/weren't punk :)

I'm 5'11 and wear small or medium shirts.

Medium does it pretty well actually, a bit baggy because I'm a stick.

Just check his shirt tag next time he's asleep?

this part. if you go by his size then he may like shirts to large for him or to small. (ie im skinny and easily wear mediums, but there uncomfotable so i wear XL)

I'm very skinny and mediums are too loose for my liking, I wear smalls, or kids age 12-13. But age sizes are different for each brnd n ****.

Also, what bleach would be suitable for making designs on T-Shirts or Jeans? Not for tye dying, just rough painting.

They are punk, we just hate them.

I know :)

So don't say leather jackets aren't punX, because they are :p

They aren't.

has brett posted the pictures of the mario keg party beer pong table?

Yes.

Haha, thanks gice.

I'll check a tag next weekend when he's back in town [leaves Monday~Wednesday and has school Thursdays, =( ].

The kind that whitens crap..Seriously. I think anything'll do, but I'd go with something along the lines of the cheap store-brand kind.
