Wow, that's suckness to the max.
I bought a jean jacket from them once.
It was cheap.

the problem is that it costs you more, you just don't see it because you think you're getting great deals every day.

Yeah, but I liked the jacket.

Back to the topic of DIY. I found a cheap denim vest online. I will probably order it soon and start work on customising it, since it is getting too hot for my jacket.

[QUOTE=Brain Squirmin' Like a Toad]I bet I hate them more than you :p

Because of them:
My dad had to close his own store, which was his dream
My town has no small businesses
We are failing

And now they are putting in a super center a few miles away in the next town, which is tiny, probably about a 10,000 pop. This will close ours, Buuuuut, they are trying to put a super center here, 5 miles away from the other one, on the same road! Luckily our city is not letting them. They are also trying to put a supercenter in nearly every city in my county (which is 7 cities)

Oh, I loathe them.[/QUOTE]

I stole seeds from them today because I'm gonna go guerilla gardening next time I'm bored.

Wal-Mart is my friend

Do you just put patches on your jacket or do you paint it.

[QUOTE=white_riot]Do you just put patches on your jacket or do you paint it.[/QUOTE]

My current jacket has mostly patches. I did paint a checkerboard strip on the back, and I have a few studs on the coller and shoulder strap things.

i don't know what that is, but i want to do it.

my jacket is mostly patches apart from the huge bad religion cross on the back, that was origionally on a tshirt that i shrunk, so instead of trowing it away i sewed it on my jacket

also theres a huge rip, from when i feel out of a tree, that i fastened up with resistors treaded through and soldered together on the back, looks like its stiched up with crome wire and restistors

this has been answered a thousand times before proably, but what would you use to paint on a denim jacket?

this kinds kinda stupid but last patch i made a made it out of denim and i have no fabric paint so, i covered it in duct tape, cut out the design with a knife and filled it in with enamel (model) paint, leave to dry and peel off the duct tape it worked really well for mine

Fabric paint? I'm not sure. That will probably work.

My current jacket is a military style coat, but I used fabric paint, and sharpies.

Whoa, I didn't even think about stuff like that. That sucks, I guess I'll actually start buying clothes from smaller shops and more small shops. Thanks, thats made me think a lot about some stuff.


EDIT: " My current jacket is a military style coat" where do you get those without paying too much?

I got mine at Target, on clearance for $7. There isn't many of those left. You can get actual military jackets from most surplus stores.

not trying to be a smarta[I]s[/I]s, but whats the difference between target and walmart? I don't live near and big stores like that so i don't buy from them anyway, but i just didn't know which stores are worth staying away from

They are basically the same thing in that sense.

Target has cuter purses though...

There are similar and different.

Both are discounted department stores, meaning their prices are lower than say Sears and such.

The main difference is that Wal Mart drives down their prices to so low no one can compete with them, therefore driving out other business and destroying local economy.

What I've noticed with Target is they keep their prices low, but not so low they are killing competition, smart enough to keep the prices low, dumb enough not to lower them more. They also clearance a LOT of things, so you can get stuff really cheap, like with my jacket.

I've never the negative effects of a Wal Mart happen to a town where a Target is.

What about K-mart? Or maybe Marshalls?

K-Mart, I don't bother with K-Mart myself. Not because of corporate evilness, because the stores are usually really disgusting, unkempt, and the people unpleasant.

And Marshall's I think is only clothes, not sure though, never really been to the one here.

[QUOTE=cheeser_1]i don't know what that is, but i want to do it.[/QUOTE]

You just get bored and decide to go get some vegitable seeds and plant gardens on peoples roofs, tain embankments, cracks in the concrete, ect, and then you go water them every couple of days. Then some unkowing guy comes across them, and picks the say, tomatoes, and now he's not only not contributing to capitalism, but getting some good, organic, pesticide free food.

Or you do it near you so you always have your own vegitables, I have gardens on a bunch of the roofs near my house, and no one ever notices, so I just use them for myself, I sneak onto people's roofs to water my plants.

That's kinda cute.

your mom was kinda cute with my cum all over her face

Oh yeah. I still have those pictures at my house.

that better be DIY cum.

I found an old denim jacket from the 80's in the back of our hall closet and ripped off the sleves. Thats how I got my vest.

i thought i would throw in my insignificant story since this thread seems to be turning into that. cum...sex...****ing........studs.....leather jackets.....

I still need some advice on DIY gigs innit.

[QUOTE=cheeser_1]that better be DIY cum.[/QUOTE]

:lol: Genius!
I'm going to buy a jacket and cover it in patches etc...
I know this is probably been asked/dealt with alot but what is the best kind of jacket to use. I'm not to worried about the jacket itself, i just want something easy to put patches on!

I don't have one, but I'd imagine it'd probably be a denim one, since that seems like it'd be easiest to pierce.

Denim is thick, but easier to pierce then leather. Military style is the easiet, but usually the more pricer and harder to find.
