The Official Home-Made Shirts Thread

[Cyprus Blade]

In a world where everything is disposable/ready-made/universal the traditional craft skills of our communities are fast disappearing I think it highly commendable that some folklore heroes are working hard to keep alive the traditional Yorkshire crafts and skills such as individualism and brass-minding.

For 170,000 years people have been making their own clothes. Where's the scandal here?

 

[Grecian2000]

I haven't worn anything "homemade" since my grandmother knitted me a balaclava when I was in infants. Fucking horrible and itchy, and I got a tanned arse for not being grateful to her for knitting it!
Never again.

Heres my effort. You gotta cater for the ladies in this day and age.

 

[Grecian2000]

Not sure about the badge, is it Peru or Malaysia.

Rest of it's fucking great though . . .

I looks like Paraguay.

No, they haven't 'made' shirts, they have taken standard Adidas products bought on line and simply added a club badge and therefore avoiding paying a premium price charged via the club shop!

Why do you think the likes of Lidl, Aldi, TK Maxx, Primarni etc are so successfull?
Because people today like a bargain ;-)

Have you tried Lidl's "Jaffa Cakes" ripoffs? They are fucking disgusting.

 

[designblade]

It is indeed....

I've got a Paraguay shirt - otherwise I probably wouldn't have known off the top of my head!

Smaller patches arrived this morning.

 

[Tynemouth Blade]

Hemming tape.

That badge looks much better. You need to iron your shirt though.

The one I used just ironed on. I've washed it and it stayed on!

2000. I still have nightmares about that Bent miss.

People have actually made their own shirts. Jesus wept.

I did not think people would actually do it but clearly I was wrong.

Hmmmm. Shirt says to only Iron on lowest setting. Hemming tape needs a bit hotter than that though yes? Or can the shirt take ironing on highest setting?

Wow, there are different settings on an Iron? No wonder women think they can multi task.

 

[Tynemouth Blade]

As my Mum taught me: use a clean tea towel over the shirt and iron onto the tea towel therefore avoiding any damage! ;-)

So why is this only just happening now? Why haven't people just sewn badges onto sports shirts in the past? Why not a plain cotton t-shirt? Why is Adidas effecting this madness?

How do you know they haven't?

It's fascinating isn't it.

I think the whole thing started as a joke (the whole removing the logo stuff etc,) but as people realised it was just a bog standard shirt that they'd stuck a badge on (and not very well according to some) then it's escalated.
Still funny though for those of us who really don't give a monkeys . . .
