Making a python jacket, with Shoe Surgeon left overs.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2024
- There is something about making a design out of a special leather, that makes it even more unique. My friend Dom, the Shoe Surgeon, gifted me with some of his left over Python skins after I personally delivered a pair of cleats to OBJ before a season opening Raven football game.
The challenge was take a unique assortment of python, and rattlesnake and make something beautiful.
In this video, ill go through the whole process of making a snake jacket. snake is quite thin like paper, and its all backed with pig skin, and the challenge is making unique bigger pieces fit on the narrow snake. additionally being as mindful as possible with what is being cut. with the pieces left over, I will be making wallets and card holders in an attempt to use everything possible.
This jacket is available for sale, price is non negotiable. feel free to email me.
interior facings are made from supple leather for comfort.
Hi, I really like your work and it’s very interesting how you learned to make them, either yourself or studied, and if you can, please tell me sources with information about pattern modeling, if it’s not difficult🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hi Thank you so much for the kind words. ive been dedicated to garment development since I was very young. My main education was Bachelor of Fine Arts, with an emphasis on menswear from the academy of art university in San Francisco. while I was in school, I worked/ apprenticed at the last Levi factory in san Francisco, as well as other small designers. when I got Los Angeles, I frantically made as many garments as possible, and usually starting on brand new patterns to get better and more efficient. the classic tailor pattern books are good starting point to understanding drafting, but they are limited to out of date shapes. my best advise, is find cheap garments you like the fit of and take them apart and copy the patterns. or pin them to fit better, and take the pattern from that. its hard to explain in this response, but if you email me I can try my best to give better suggestions.

Which model Juki are you working on if i may ask?
How many sqm is use approximately to make a jacket like that? Or sqft
Thanks
And amazing video
Thank you Sergio, a jacket like this requires about 35-40 sq ft I believe the equivalent would be 4 sq meter.
@@elliottevanforever Thanks for your response Elliott!
The actual GOAT
:)
how do you get the shapes and how did u learn to sew the jacket that way
Lots and lots of practice, beginning of my career my work was really crazy and strange shapes. it took a long time to reduce it all and get to a more balanced spot. just working as a pattern maker and seeing what works and doesnt work to my eye. practice and trail and error. hope this helps! thank you for the support
