  • The good man lets nothing stop him, and if the world doesn't give him the shirts he wants, then he can jolly well make them himself.
    I am uploading another video about swords at the same time, to placate my subscribers who want to know about that sort of thing.
    An earlier cut of this included far more detail about how to do the specific conversion I am using as an example, but I hacked this to the minimum, since (a) it is easy, (b) it seemed patronising, (c) I anticipate that almost no one will do this anyway.

      I had white shirts and beige shirts in my closet, but the Beiges complained about the white shirts invading their safe space, so I dyed the white ones beige, then the old beige shirts complained that the new beige ones were racist for beige-facing, so I took the new ones out of the closet, but some of them said they now identify as blouses and demanded their own safe space, so I put them in the wife's closet, but the wife's blouses complained that the new arrivals weren't *real* blouses as the buttons were still on the right hand side, and by now several of the beiges were identifying as Robes of the Archmagi with +2 save vs spells, I so waxed sore pissed and threw the whole lot out and decided I was never going to get another shirt. Probably should've waited till spring.

      Actually, rounded collars used to be the norm on men's dress shirts but that was a LONG time ago. I'm thinking maybe 1930's, possibly even a bit before that. Since Lloyd is a history enthusiast, it doesn't surprise me that historical fashion trends might be something that would catch his eye during his research.

    Indeed if theres is ONE thing I learned how to do in the army was to sew. I learned a lot of other things too, but there was a lot of sewing, especially since I started doing very sloppy sewing and my instructor would find every chance to rip the velcros off my uniform, until he was completely unable one day, no matter how much he tried, even trying to use his keys to find a weak spot to stsrt tearing yielded no result. Suffice to say I got much better at sewing, much more than at the beginning. He was not happy, and I did my best to hide my smile. The other instructors sure were enjoying themselves watching him fail too.

Can't even make a proper coffee worth a fuck, I just use that 3 in 1 powder stuff. The damn floor is always dirty until I maybe spit on it and rub it with a sock. Lindybeige is such a man that he would have wiped that floor with a rug made of his underwear, hand sown 20spi, using a cleaner that he made by himself. He is such a man that he buys 3 new perfectly normal shirts and says... No. Bollocks. I don't like 'em. I want them dyed and made the way I want it. And then proceeds to spend the entire day tailoring the stuff around him the way he wants it.

No matter how clean the wash everything goes towards beige. To solve this, my family (and quite a lot of families actually) dyed their whites with a pinch of aquamarine. It augments the iron red dust dye with a complimentary colour. Pardon being a kill joy...

    As a professional seamstress this cheers me immensely. I love shirt-making and so does my husband, he's finally decided to learn the basics and it's awesome. I would like to point out that whoever that so called feminist was quite definitely not. She was a bigot calling herself a feminist. I'm terribly glad that majority of us feminists these days are quite definitely *not* that, otherwise it's not a philosophy that I'd be part of.
    Staunchest feminist I ever knew was my Autistic Dad. He didn't give a fuck what gender you were so long as you were willing to learn, and treat people decently. He was very aware of how badly the women around him were treated right from his childhood in the early 1950's. He always taught my brother, younger sister and myself that we were all fundamentally equal, even if we enjoyed doing different things. It's a very simple idea, but it's unfortunately still a struggle.

    Incredible! In year three my mother told me that soldiers darned their own socks and sewed on their own buttons. That was it! My first "manly" skill.
    I was an army reservist (infantry and then a sapper) in the 80"s, and found sewing a useful skill - so many of my mates' uniforms looked awful because of their terrible stitching. Also found it useful on tents and elsewhere around camp, preserving rope, ...
    Last year, my wife, the mother of my seven children, thought it hilarious when she discovered I was an eight year boy in the school sewing and knitting club, but I remember at the time (1973) that it must have been a skill the astronauts had , so I remain unshaken.
    In a way, it is just another essential skill for making things, and builds character as it requires patience, perseverance and an acute attention to detail. Where else do young people acquire traits so easily, economically and usefully?

      You're normally right, but I was located in a less than desirable part of town, in a tourist heavy community. It's always hard to see a struggling family making sacrifices for their children, especially when the kids don't seem to appreciate it. The darker side of things tend to overshadow the good sometimes, and it's hard for me to wear black now, as strange as it sounds. There's something about the "ramen and bread for dinner again" face that never really leaves you.

    I am proudly one of the 7%, my good Sir. You are one of the most charmingly eccentric people on RUclips, and I find your voice to be rather soothing to listen to.

    2:29 I find a strange satisfaction in considering that I am just about the opposite of most of Lindy's subscribers - I'm neither male nor an adult, don't really like axes and had no interest in medieval weaponry or weaponry in general ("had" because I guess I sort of do now, considering I watch quite a few of his weapons videos?) and yet I subscribe to and like this channel.
    I am very tempted to make one of these shirts, but as I said 1. I'm not an adult, couldn't get the supplies and my dad doesn't want a beige shirt, and 2. I couldn't really do anything with it anyway.

    Some time ago I posted a comment to one of your videos where I flagellated my ego and prostrated my pride in the hopes that you would find it pathetic enough to gratify me with an answer to my question. All I wanted to know was where you bought your sweaters. That's it.
    So, some time later I check back and I see this insipid video talking about your popped collar shirts. You made an *entire video* about your *undershirts* but couldn't find one moment out of your routine to satiate me with a pity response. Your *shirts*!
    I don't care about the *shirts*, I want to know where you get your *sweaters*! Specifically the nice one with the rounded pattern around the collar. That's it. I wanted one so that I could wear it, that people would think I might be worldly and have interesting hobbies and strong opinions about esoteric things. It's no longer winter and I couldn't wear one even if I had one. It would be too hot for that and I would look stupid. i bet you would still be wearing sweaters.
    All I wanted to know was wear to buy that sweater.
    I've never been more disappointed in another human being.

      I am so terribly sorry. I don't know if I have a video about sweaters yet. This one, you see, was not really about my shirts, because all said and done, my shirts are of no consequence. It only becomes a video idea if I have something to say beyond myself. It's really about how chaps shouldn't shy away from converting clothes to be the way they want them to be.
      Most of my sweaters I got as presents. Many were knitted very ably by my mother. One of the best is the Icelandic one - dark brown with the circular pattern going around the shoulders. I think that's probably the one you mean. My mother knitted that one from a pattern she bought.

      +Bruce Houdini I have come to fancy knitted sweaters, similar in fashion to the ones Lloyd takes to wearing, and find several sensible options at the likes of Macy's or even Kohl's.

      As a woman, I've fallen in love with circular yoke sweaters myself, and am contemplating learning how to make one (I already know how to knit).
      The beauty of the internet is, these days you can learn all that completely free. Well, for the cost of materials.
      The "problem" with sweaters is, they take up a lot of material. You could start with hats and socks, though.

    I've encountered the flabbergasted mind blow several times myself. occasionally when i'm doing leatherworking or chainmail somewhere public, but your right, sewing tends to get the best reaction, somehow it just boggles peoples minds to see a large bearded biker looking fellow sitting down and sewing himself a shirt.

      oh, one of my other favorites is when someone your with has a wardrobe malfunction of some sort, a small tear, or a button pop or something to that extent, and you can bust out your sewing kit (i'm rarely without one) and fix it for them on the spot. It really is a useful skill to have and I wish i'd learned it sooner, if I ever have children of my own I will definitely be teaching them how to sew from an early age.

      Yep. Been there, done that. : P
      Kept a tiny matchbox sized sewing kit in my old backpack because it had a habit of bursting at the seams. So when a pals shirt got caught on something and ripped open hilariously, I just told him to hand it over and started working on it in the middle of the college. Each got a fair share of looks. Perhaps for slightly different reasons.

    Thought you might appreciate the fact that the average color of the universe is: Beige.
    They call it cosmic latte to sound fancy, but it's beige.
    "Cosmic latte: The average colour of the Universe is beige. The Universe may appear like a vast expanse of darkness but the average colour is actually beige, according to scientists. They studied the colour of light emitted by 200,000 galaxies to see what the final mix would be if the entire sky was smeared out."
