hi guys
follow up to the previous diy thread where some guy cut his boots in half (the madman), some guy bleached some converses so I did the same with pic related, this is before picture
>>11119410
a
and here is after, did I fuck up? soaked them in 1:2 bleach:water overnight, then dried in the sun
They are a real soft pink, might give them another go
>>11119418
well yea, theyre gonna be soft pink if you bleach bright red. Why didnt you just buy the white ones if you wanted them white?
>>11119418
They look /pale/ as fuck, nice job
>>11119599
They are a really old pair I bought, haven't worn them in years
I mean they are bright red ffs
>>11119640
Thanks man, I always appreciate the approval of strange men on a tibetan basket weaving imageboard
>>11119418
Dude who bleached his converse from the last thread here- those came out really nice man! I like the unique palewave vibe of the soft pink but if full on white is more your style, good luck. Never bleached anything more than once myself so I'd be interested to see how it turns out.
>>11119418
Just keep them as is unless you don't like palewave; they're pretty unique and would make for cool summer shoes
Nice job either way though
>>11119418
That's good as fuck desu
>>11119410
how'd you do it OP? just stick them in a bucket of bleach and water overnight?
>>11119418
Nice, I'm thinking of doing the same to mine. Curious to know what you're going to wear with it.
You got a dirty toe, OP
A lot less involved than a lot of what gets posted to these threads but I'm happy with it, plus people who recognize the reference think it's like the coolest fucking thing.

Btw the shirt is hot pink, which isn't clear from shit-quality picture.
>>11119418
Fabric will tear within a few days
>>11120020
underrated post
>>11122943
this might happen
it's somewhat thick canvas but that's also a pretty long bleach soak
>>11124027
You can't
>>11124027
Get a spray bottle of water and spray it damp. then iron it flat. repeat the process of spraying and ironing until satisified with the result.
>>11124027
I remember this thread. The guy offered no explanation for why he did this.
I've seen people in these threads using paint on clothes/shoes lately. What kind of paint to you guys usually use? And how well does it hold up over time?
Pic unrelated

That was me. Also, it wasn't that shirt - just a cheap plain white one. The shirt fit fine except for the length so I decided to hack the bottom off.
Old picture and post but still relevant to this thread, I slimmed down this coat a few months ago for fun
I got a flannel from Carhartt online but it's about a size too big. Can I shrink it to fit like with shrink to fit jeans, or do I have to just throw it in the dryer and hope for the best?
>>11124439
Tfw I love the hypothetical silhouette of a long slim coat but my big ass ruins it.
>>11124435
Did you ever think to hem it?
>>11122907
A E G? Am I missing something?
>>11124702
From an old zine called Sniffin' Glue. Pretty well-known image in certain circles. I omitted the text to make it more of a punk shibboleth and also because I dislike text on shirts.
>>11119418
Maybe it's because I'm significantly older than most of you, but I would soak them once more because the soft fade does not look well. Unless it matches your fit? I mean, what do you wear with soft pink hi-tops?
>>11120546
cheers friend, i think im happy as is, they are indeed pretty pale
>>11120574
good advice
>>11120929
yeah, from about 6pm to 9am, about 1:2 bleach:water, fully submersed, then just let them dry on a clothesline
>>11122943
I'll keep you updated
>>11124744
If you soaked them that long I'd guess that that's about as white as they're gonna get, just rock them as-is.
>>11124736
not that anon but i would wear them with stonewashed jeans and a white, light gray, cream, or even earth green top
>>11124495
why wouldnt you just return it for a smaller size? the fabric would probably become stiffer after being shrunk.
>>11124736
I've got a lavender shirt and a light blue pair of 514s that they would be perfect for.
>>11124695
Not for a cheap shirt my mom gave me that she got from Costco
Is there any way I can make a bright orange shirt into a pale orange one?
Does anyone have any more pics if this jacket that got posted to one of these threads a month or two back?
>>11125824
thats actually the worst thing ive ever seen, and ive seen some /b/tard shit
>>11125593
bruh hemming your shirt will take you like 10 minutes
>>11125865
The execution is a little unfocused and belabors the grungy DIY look too much, but I like the idea of a bleached white battlejacket.
