In my experience just applying interfacing with a heat press or an iron and then gluing it onto your garment works really well too. I have 3 patch work pants and a hoodie that I’ve done it to and they’ve held up really well.
I have a direct to garment printer. I was thinking of doing this process, but since you mentioned black canvas, I might as well use the DTG printer to print directly onto the black canvas. Great idea thanks.
Just hemmed my back patch tonight. Tomorrow or next day I will sew it to my vest. Used your video over the weekend to put it together from a T-shirt I bought from Spenser’s and supplies from Joanne’s fabrics lol. It’s gonna look dope. Thanks for this video. 👍🏼👍🏼
You may have just saved my old 'the specials' tee for me, thank you so much! Also, as a quick aside, i think if you have a sewing machine you can serge the edges using zig zag stitch for extra strength on the edges!
Thanks man. I just started my new vest (because my old one got worn and signed by the lead singer of Saxon during a concert and I wanted to preserve it) and no back patches exist for the design I want. So I custom made a shirt and I’m starting to work on the patch making process. I’ll share how it goes when I’m done. 🤘
Dude I got Gulch shirt that I made into a cut off. I accidentally stretched out the one sleeve taking it off one time and haven't used it since. This might finally give the shirt new life on the back of my vest. Great video!
I have a tutorial on spiked collars and another one on chain necklaces. I have never seen them combined but if you want to shoot me a reference pic to my IG @reptil_kodiya it is something that I could possibly do another tutorial on
I wanted to asked you if you ever heard of Bloodywood (my favorite band) and this video basically confirmed it I want to scream but there are people in the house
do you have experinece dyeing pleather jackets? i got one stupidly thinking it could be real leather, its dark brown and i wanted to dye it black but im not sure if regular textil dye would work.
I sadly do not, if it is a higher end faux leather jacket like the Straight to Hell brand leather dye just might work because it is made from vegan "leather" fiber . From my experience working with lower quality faux leather jackets just inst worth the time or effort because the cheap plastic/pvc it is made of eventually falls apart. However with that being said you really have nothing to lose by attempting to dye it. Worse case scenario the dye doesn't stick and you up having to find a different jacket, best case the dye works out fine, either way you are attempting to learn a skill. I say give it a try but I personally would use leather dye not fabric/cloth dye 🦖
@@MeRcUrY__dsbm Honestly a great question that I did not address in the video! So T-shirts are made out of a mixed fabric material, they are intentionally light fabric and extremely stretchy. Over time T-shirts will shred and fall apart with wear, this problem exacerbates when you cut a logo from a T-shirt and remove it from its anchoring hem around the collar, sleeves and bottom (think of the hems on your T-shirt like a skeleton that holds everything in place). These hems around the edges essentially keep a T-shirt in place and wearable. Now you can (and plenty of people do) cut off a band logo from a T-shirt and sew it onto a jacket. Unfortunately over a short amount of time the light weight fabric of the T-shirt will warp, shred and fall apart along the edges that you sew it onto a jacket. This method in the tutorial essentially grafts the lightweight fabric of a T-shirt onto a sturdy canvas skeleton to keep the lightweight T-shirt fabric in place and allows it to act as a thicker canvas patch as traditional patches are made out of canvas. This method will prolong the life of a T-shirt patch atleast tenfold, if not longer. I can not recommend this method enough, taking an extra few hours to reinforce a T-shirt patch is the only way to have a long term back patch made out of a T-shirt 🦖
listening to this while i make dinner like its a podcast
Same!
I've been finding myself listening to his videos in the background while I sew projects.
junji ito artwork looks fucking suick on that jacket, might have to do the same with mine

Hey dude, you saved one of my favorite old band shirts with this. Thanks a bunch!
Stoked I could help 🦖
Awesome. Added an alter bridge patch to my patch pants now !

Sounds awesome!! Feel free to shoot me updates on IG @reptil_kodiya
Well explained and easy to make, thank you. I definitely will try it!
Dope af love your tutorials always super informative you should do a video on bondage belts if you haven’t already
Dude I got Gulch shirt that I made into a cut off. I accidentally stretched out the one sleeve taking it off one time and haven't used it since.
This might finally give the shirt new life on the back of my vest. Great video!
Thank you for the insignt
Beautiful tutorial
Good idea's! I have done this a fee times. Sometimes I cut round the short and double up after found it on itself and then sew on.
Love your vids💯
Thanks!
THANK YOU!
0:57 - ANTI CIMEX is Dope!!! Love the "Raped Ass" EP! "Victims Of A Bombraid" is cool too!
This was so helpful, thanks a ton man

@@Luna-ej4mi I actually made this vest for a friend from his old T-shirts 🦖
thank you for sharing all of your knowledge, your channel fucking rules!!!!!!

Quilter here looking for solutions for a Tshirt quilt challenge. Thanks for the ideas! Did you use a blanket stitch to hand sew them on?
Hello, I use a whip stitch when I sew by hand! But any of them will work
🙌
Do you let the glue dry on the canvas before adding the t-shirt?
@@c.h.1073 I do not
🤘🤘🤘
Could the back canvas be just another shirt material? Or does thickness matter?
I prefer something with thickness like black canvas or denim 🦖

@@reptil_diy alright tysm!
@@gray_beloved good luck! Feel free to hmu on IG @reptil_kodiya with any other diy questions
😂😂😂 Sure
weird question, but couldn’t you also just cut off the shirt and immediately sew it onto your jacket? if not that’s fine, im just curious if you could

@@reptil_diy ahhhh ok ok
I just used duct tape on the back of the shirt and cut it out. I have back patches made like that have lasted over 20 years
Great idea 🦖
@@reptil_diy haha yeah I'm a dinosaur for sure. Gonna be turning 40 on Tuesday. 😆👴
Now that‘s a good idea, I‘ll do that instead. Thanks to both of you!
Hey reptil do you still make the never say die jackets for fans? I see your original video has been removed
Yes, I removed all old low quality videos but I still paint them up. hmu on IG for questions. @reptil_kodiya
