Making New Clothing Look Old With Blowtorches and Sandpaper 

I dont think people know how hard it is to make new stuff look used. Theres loads of critics but very few who can do this stuff well. I do it with lettering and signs and bits and pieces, plus a few bikes. Try it and if people notice then you've done it wrong. Great work - Im just starting in on clothes now.

Love their work. I am actually doing the opposite, renovating vintage clothes! The result is also great.

this is cool it took these guys a lot of experimentation to create a look and feel that looks awesome at the end result

I’ve had this video saved for a couple years and came back to it multiple times. Sent it to a bunch of people as well. Just a good example of someone with a very specific vision, tools and knowledge to execute. Dig it.

I’ve seen the Madeworn T-shirt’s on several people and am always shocked at how perfectly imperfect they are!!! I’m obsessed!!! I can’t afford $160 T-shirt’s but whenever I am able to, you can bet I will definitely be buying them! This video doesn’t do the T-shirt’s justice. Seriously. If you see one in person it will nearly take your breath away haha! This man is brilliant.

When I first saw this video 3 years ago, I thought this was crazy. Now, after getting my first pair of selvedge denim, I really want to send a denim shirt to this guy

It's like a Jason Mamoa wet dream

this really helped me. i was looking for how to give a certain effect to denim for a college project for god known how long.

I just started getting into distressing t shirts with scissors and bleach and I made a sick shirt yesterday... gonna use some of these methods described and take it to the next level. Thanks

I wish this vid was like an hour long

That level of distressed isn't my style personally, but the work these guys do is art!

Of you want to distress a pair of pants, give them to a roofer to work in for about 2 weeks.

This is one of the coolest videos on RU-vid!!!! What a dude!

Jeez man it’s one thing to like well worn looking clothes, it’s a whole other thing recreating an archeological site😂

As an aspiring designer, this was enjoyable and inspiring!

The guy in the clean white tee pouring coffee on stuff to purposely stain ...the irony

This is dope. Is not for everyone, but so comforting aging stuff. This dude definitely be a buddy of mine 😢

if you leave t-shirt hanging in the sunlight would that fade the colour print?i dont like the intense Red colour print on my t-shirt

I like the way they work, and the prices sound great. If I had the money I would definetly buy a piece.

Dude that squirrel was awesome and it reminds me of one time me and a friend were sitting in a trench I dug and a squirrel came right up and sniffed our airsoft guns I was like “Best airsoft experiences ever!”

Man, this is gold 😂

Well done!

I love the used look it goes with my style omg!! I love torn clothes, teach me tips please

It's such a slap in the face to poor people that rich people think "shabby chic" or the "homeless or hipster?" Movements are cool.

Is there a way to get in contact with this guy ?

we live in a crazy world literally

Ah my god...Love your philosophy and energy, and your place. Nice work as well, of course. Btw...I'm kicking myself I never had my old Westy Dog stuffed. Inspired.

The length hipsters will go to get "the look"

Love this! Good for you! You’ve found an awesome niche for your talent and imagination! I want to distress new canvas Vans. Do you have any suggestions for me. I better stay away from fire😂

This is what hipsters artists wears not hatin btw i mean he’s a great designer and I respect his style

This is the most hipster thing I’ve seen in a while

I love the rugged American look

Wear n tare department!! I love your place and ur artistry!!! ur wonderful!!!!

That looks like heaven

Can anyone suggest how to make a brand new hi vis vest look vintage? It's just one of those cheap polyester one's you see people on construction sites wearing. Tks.

Custom anything requires, time, craftsmanship & expertise. That’s what you are paying for,

Love the vibes

Love the squirl,so sweet,we dont have them here,sad

Love your style man, rock on

Thank you for sharing.

Love it when the guy hand fed the squirrel

If you want to see how hard is the weather something grab you a model car that goes plastic model car kits and 124 scale and try to make a rusted weathered looking car out of it and make it look real that's why it's very hard to weather items to make look natural

All my clothes looks like s*** and I tried to keep them nice. Maybe I should sell my shity t-shirts for 160.00$. Hey God bless you guys I think it's pretty cool what you guys are doing!

brutal work,state of the art.

BEAUTIFUL

This is VERY cool. Bravo!

Price wise a little high, but I dig it, kudos to these guys

This is so dope and unique

patina!!!!

Dream job

Brilliant!

I am fulfilled after this.

1:02 Hipster John Krasinski is that you?

I should send him some of my work clothes for inspiration.

160$ is a little steep for me. There is too many DIY videos on RU-vid for me to pay 160$. Plus this video itself gave me some things to use to just do it myself

Inspiring dude

Cmon man

Same guy that founded Junk Food Clothing

Cool work.

This is pure art! Dont make fun of it, if you dont understand it!

Fire, good.

really cool

How cool do you do women's stuff? How can someone in TX check out your line?

Why is no one talking about this: "...go to the bathroom, and ..... not disgusting things . but all those ammonias and things ...." haha

I mean he set that price for whatever reason, and then enough people thought it was reasonable, so it’s fine.

Hi I really enjoyed your video, I have a question. Do you have any advice for aging my black Dickies jacket? I really want an faded grey aged look :)

What’s this guys shop name??

This is what Jason monos wears lol

Legend

vtg love this video !!

This is my type of guy

His tomahawks look like Richard Bagget tomahawks.

Maybe like $50 a tee, the quality and work put in to making them look that way isn’t worth $160... it’s not too hard to pre-age clothing, as for the leather that’s understandable if you actually made it.

I’m gonna donate my work clothes to him for inspiration

With the quality of modern clothes after six months of use they look about ten years old and ready for the trash bin.

Alchemists!!!

Just use color safe bleach then wash it scrub it again and again about 5 times then rinse it then again wash it then youll notice the color is faded like the one you see in the thriftstores

Jason mamoa would love this place 💀

What I love: he followed his heart. Even better was that once he did, there are people who want to pay him for what he creates. His price point is what the market dictates. If there isn't a continued demand for it, he could not sell them for his shop prices them at. It is interesting how this has become quite 'hip'. It would make sense there is a niche for this bec the trend in America is quantity over quality and the idea of wearing the same thing over and over again (bec you genuinely love a piece of clothing) is NOT that common. Europeans seem to practice an approach of having very few pieces (of very high quality) which they truly love and wear them often. When I think about all the annual award shows which many, many celebrities go to, it is absolutely unthinkable and a major fashion faux pas if anyone of these people wore a gown or dress more than once. Makes you wonder where ALL those very fancy dresses go to once they've been worn for the first and the last time. I just picked up a wonderfully made corduroy jacket at the secondhand store. It is a brown bronze color and towards the back bottom hem, about the size of a palm, is a noticeably faded part. I thought it looked cool and want to spread out more of that same effect. This video is def inspiring me. Metal brushes and sandpaper here I come!

Bobbe Lee on bad friends podcast brought me here

Dope

The embodiment of wabi sabi

This guy is going to give your clothes pneumonia and charge you for it. lol

I'd rather wear out a nice pair of pants because it really just tells a story. It went with you everywhere. It's just more important to you because there will never be another one like it. I dont know a good word to use, but I guess it just seems more artificial I guess.

Love this but also god dayum that’s expensive lol

At least the guy is working....hint hint

Metal

I can help if you want

Rip Blaine 🕊

Or just buy new clothes and wear it well? Or buy second hand clothes?

Hipsters

I would buy a house right next to this place and buy him all of my clothes

On thing is buying some ripped jeans and another is buying some clothes that are put in sand and 🔥 a bit too much especially the price

Or just go to the thrift store instead...

I found the mounts of the pets to be upsetting the rest is just costuming.

I love uuu

Bumcore

Tweakanomics….. $160 for a tshirt!!!! are you crazy???!!!???

Why would anyone want to wear a jeans that looks old, unless you are poor.

and the people who buy it will throw it out when it gets one genuine tear or stain.
