Like cooking, it's a pretty useful life skill for everyone to know. Doctors, sailors, and soldiers all traditionally learn to sew pretty quickly as vital skills in their careers; for example, a soldier can't expect his mom to sew the patches onto his uniform, repair the only clothing protecting him from the elements after months or years on the battlefield, or sew a shrapnel wound closed for him. I'm no soldier, sailor or doctor, but once I had the seat of my trousers rip open at work - I keep a spare sewing kit in my desk, and just backed out of sight for a few minutes, repaired my pants myself, and was back to work in a few minutes before anyone realized I was gone or had a chance to realize that something they'd never have let me live down had happened. I'm a single guy living alone at home on a tight budget - I don't have my mom or a wife around to sew for me, nor do I want to be dependent on someone else to do a simple chore I can and should do myself. My father taught me to sew and cook and do my own laundry when I was a youngster, and never seemed any less a man for it - it was important for him that he could be independent and self-sufficient enough to take care of himself, and it was important for him that his son be just as independent and self-sufficient, and I've never regretted learning those skills. There's a big do-it-yourself ethos in metal that way: I've never known a metal head to look down on any guy for sewing his own jacket. I had a buddy of mine, a youngster new to metal, ask me and another of my friends how to put patches on his jacket, because he couldn't get his to "stick". The first response, of course, is "Just sew 'em!" He looked at us like we were from Venus or something, so we gave him some light hazing: "Ah, dude - you just get yer mommy to sew 'em for you, that's totally metal! Then you can ask her for permission to go to a concert, and maybe she'll let you have a beer some time!" After we assured him we were serious the first time about sewing them on himself, we helped show him how to sew his own patches on - after a little guidance, he was sewing his own battle-vest like a pro, and it was sort of a rite of passage - now he's got a vest he made himself, and it's an extension of his own individuality and independence. As metal fans and as guys, I'm sure we both would have thought less of him if he'd had his mom or a girlfriend or something sew for him. At my first few jobs, working in restaurants and kitchens, I worked with plenty of girls who'd never learned to cook for themselves, and who supported useless live-in boyfriends and broods of children on fast food seven days a week, without showing the least curiosity about learning how to cook or do anything for themselves. More guys were willing to take the initiative to learn to do things for themselves than girls in my experience, and the willingness to learn and the curiosity and initiative to ask, to me, are easily much more masculine and metal than lounging around waiting for your girlfriend or mom to outsource simple and basic chores to someone else because she can't be bothered to learn, and, I'd venture to say, more masculine even than making your mom or girlfriend do the work for you because as a guy you can't be bothered to learn.... So, yeah: sewing, cooking, etc.? Totally masculine and totally metal, in my book. (And hell, I've made my own beer, too - it requires a little cooking, and the result? BEER - and beer is masculine and metal enough in my book!) Kudos to Black Metal Werewolf for trying to ask for some guidance on how to do it himself, and shame on anyone who refused to teach him because it wasn't their idea of masculine, or because a DIY metal jacket is too metal for their comfort! I didn't need the tips, but I appreciate the time he's taking to share them!
I do to. I know how to saw. Useful for socks, buttons, I even have experience with embroidering. In my country it is very popular to know-how those life things. However, I find that girls more and more don't know stuff (except how to suck money out). I am a university student, live in the dorm by myself, who supports himself, now my mother (who is in the different town and has financial troubles) and my GF here in my city. And I cook better then my GF. I wish she was better around the kitchen... Still, I can surprise her with my food and no expensive restaurants needed. But it is sometimes tiring that all the stuff is on me, as my job takes up most of my time. Thank god I need no lawn mowing, flower pots tilting/cleaning, hedge cutting and weeds pulling (not those weeds) while at my university city. Not unlike at my hometown...
Sewing and shit , we learned in school at an early age. It’s not fun but there are shit more boring than sewing. I did my battle vests with a machine. A lot faster that way and patches will never come off.
Why would someone bash on you for wanting to sew on some patches? It’s not like you’re asking to hide a body or anything I learned how to see from RUclips and my grandma smiles whenever she sees me sitting at the table with my beer and sewing kit getting ready to put some patches up
WTF... that's the absolute BEST reason to learn to sew!! If I brought you home for a sewing lesson, as soon as I told my husband why, he'd offer you beer, the guest room, and probably extra patches we have!!! 😂
I'm sorry people were giving you a hard time for wanting to learn how to sew. I would've loved to teach you, but instead I can give you a tip: When starting a stitch, instead of putting the whole needle through ending up with all the thread on the underside of the vest, try only pushing a small part of the needle through, and then come back up with it where you want the end of the stitch. That way you always have eyes on what you're doing and don't have to fiddle with the needle and thread under the garment. It's also quicker :) You'll also get less chances of the thread curling up on you since you have eyes on it at all times and can unwind it every time you start seeing it curl up. Hope that helps! PS: Try keeping the stitch as close to the edge as possible. I noticed it got a bit far down on the top of your emperor patch there. This is also easier to do when you do the stitch as I mentioned ;)
I'm actually really glad that I learned how to sew when I was like, 3 bc my patches are so well sewn on that they would survive a nuclear blast from between the patch and the jacket
I feel the same way. Having been sewing for years as a child before getting into metal, it was a lot easier sewing patches on. As soon as I survived the embarresement of having my grandma point out that I was using an embroidery needle for the first 5 patches, then it all went well...
I have a tip if you want to prevent your cool new patch from ripping of around the edges you can go from the bottom through the patch and then go around that patch back down so you just make a little circulos around the edge. That will hold the edges flat to your vest or backpack. Downside is that it takes more time and more thread.
I'm aware this is old news. However, I think your sewing isn't bad by the standards of being self taught. And also, using a holding pin to hold your patch is a good thing. Also, I hate when thread tangles. I don't like when I'm stitching some cross stitch and my embroidery floss gets tangled. It's a pain in the ass.
Perfect timing. I have a few patches and a vest but have no clue how to sew. As a former girl scout, I should know how to do this. But nope. I learned nothing.
I had the same problem, I asked people to teach me to sew, and they all hissed and flew off, so I taught myself. my patches look a little off, but not too bad. getting better. and you got the same record player I do
I always put the thread up through the bottom of the patch, then go over the edge and go back down. Then go like half a centimeter farther to the side back up and repeat. From my experience this way it holds a lot better in the end but also takes a bit longer than your technique.:)
Making my first battle jacket now, I tried letting my fiancée use her sewing machine to get the patches on... She did 2 and the sewing machine broke.. Probably the thick denim. So now I have to learn how to sew! 😂
Finally found a denim jacket that i liked in a thrift store today. Its for my first battle vest. I’m pretty sure its the exact same model of Levis jacket that you have there! What are the odds 😄
Once I learn how to sew on patches to make myself a HOMEMADE BATTLE JACKET FOR ROCK FESTIVALS, while I sew, I will listen to Heavy metal like SLIPKNOT!
thats crazy your story about people not wanting to teach you how to sew. i literally told a random dude on a discord call i wanted to learn to sew and he verbally explained to me how to do it with no webcams or anything and i learned in like 15 minutes. never saw him again.
Minks Rule - That's actually what I ended up doing. I'm like Andre the Giant size, they just don't make vests my size, so I found a jacket my size, Xacto-knived the sleeves off, and BAM - there's yer vest! Bonus tip: parts of the sleeves can be sewn into the inside of the vest as extra pockets for beer.
@@pietrayday9915 I'm glad you found a solution! I got a bit confused when you wrote Xacto knife for a second because we call them Stanley knives here in Australia.
What is it with metalheads shitting on other music genres? You gotta be PRETTY insecure about your own taste in music if, instead of commenting about metal and how awesome it is, you shit on rap and other stuff? I've never seen a rap fan go "DAMN, I'm so glad JAY-Z and Nas are in my CD collection instead of metal!". Why must you guys always start a fight? Is it in your edgelord DNA or something?
Dude the people who didn't want to teach you were jerks! (You don't need that kind of negativity in your life) I would have shown you! (but alas I live a long way away) As far as I can tell you are hand sewing correctly, my only critique would be to make your stitches shorter/smaller, other than that you are doing great!
It isn't that hard, it might just be me growing up in a shithole were we had to sew to fix our cheap clothes and later did it for years in school. I don't remember ever having a hard time learning it
elitists will say no. But its basicly perfectly fine. I mean, i use a sewing machine sometimes when it needs to be done fast because i am at a concert the same evening. Often i cut many many patches down to change something, and sometimes then i use a sewing machine.
sew by hand and machine is totally ok. I do both. I have always had compliments on mine. No one at metal shows. Really pay attention what method you sew. Vary rare anyone will ask. mostly they will just admire the work and time it takes to put in the effort to make it happen. :)
If there isn't blood on your battlejacket then you ain't doing it right? *LOL* j/k. That and thimbles help. Seriously, that's how I had to learn too. Online helped. I also prefer fabric glue to place the patch. I tried stitching over the border but I didn't like the look, so I just stitch behind the border and it looked better. I also do over-under instead of looping.
You can also use more than one pin. For me I use one on top, Both and both sides. this way it wont change positions at all and I can add more patches as well. Then sew from there.
@@gothlover4u I don't use pins when I sew...I hold both the jacket & the patch in the same hand..I also pull the material down.. I have sports & other patches.
i want to like you i really do,but every one of your videos i watch and i think what the fuck is wrong with this guy, like if someone cant tie a knot in a string and stab it through 2 pieces of cloth point and laugh don't make a video about showing them how to sew a patch on a vest it leave that for fashion designers or something. HME demonstrated perfectly how to make a battle vest with lots of sarcasm and comedy.
Big, bad, metal male with a needle and thread. This is awesome. I'll tell my mum that sewing is so metal.

I taught myself after having my first couple of patches sewn on by someone else, now I can knock out a patch rather quickly.
I learned to see on pornhub
Awww thats cute gotta love grandparents
That tomato pin cushion is so cute! 😍
This is perfect. Whenever I start my vest I'll use this as reference.

Quick tip line the stitching on the inside with super glue it keeps them from pulling loose in the pit
What a bunch of jerks. It's a perfectly valid reason and your jackets are so cool.
I'm not gay, but I love the sound of your voice
Is your new jacket going be just a black metal jacket or will you add other bands from different genres?
I have all the same bands as you have on my battle jacket, Metalwerewolf! I poked and bled myself for quite a few haha!

I do it like they do in autopsy videos.
Or the movie Bone Daddy!
Sewing looks good.
Man, I use a sewing machine for my patches and it is so much easier. But eveyone doesn't have access to one.
Sewed 36 patches in one night one time.
"Swearing like the tourettes guy"
i had the same problems and also the same technique, its good to know that we all started like that
There's a sewing class back at the college at where I live i might take the class myself
Awesome video!! Thank you so much this is going to help. I'ma going to try it!!! 😉
For me i make a battle jacket by myself. I'm an artist so its not hard for me. I do this because my parents thinks its stupid to buy that.
Your parent are probably right
Júlia Nádori well maybe. Battle jacket are just cool to wear that's it. You are not a bad comment.

What Black metal bands should I listen to if I want to start listening to Black metal?
dimmu borgir is very easy to get into, then move on to darkthrone,mayhem,emperor,...
Marduk, Immortal, Dimmu Borgir
Uada,dissection,Wolves in the thrown room,Mgla or at least those I the bands that I started with
Gorgoroth and bathory
Mayhem, Burzum, Emperor, & Bathory are good beginner bands
knitting next ?

Brand new Black Metal jacket.
I bought the darkthrone patch for a backpatch it should come soon
Finally!!
Been waiting for this vid!
Do you use different colored thread based on the main color of the patch?
I just got the same darkthrone patch in
