i got this two tone sweatshirt for a couple of quid in a sale bin but have never worn it because of the colour.
1. so i bought some machine dye
2. it came out great but i didn’t like the white stitching around the neck.
3. so i unpicked it.
4. et voila! possibly the easiest DIY ever.
at the moment i like its simplicity but i might add some leather details. what do you think?

i’ve just discovered that oatmeal (or fine oats) works really well as a cheap and effective suede cleaner. just rub on with your fingers. it will leave some white residue which you then brush off.
i haven’t tried the oatmeal on darker suedes but i certainly think it does wonders on lighter colours like my Maje boots which were in desperate need of a clean.
i diy-ed this bag a while ago but haven’t used it much. so i thought i’d try again with this inspo in mind…
1. i removed the straps.
2. attached velcro strips.
3. cut a leather rectangle in contrasting colour.
4. attached leather handle. et voila!
outing my renewed jeans. enjoying the white jeans vibe, but with an edge.

i made this coat using a quilt i bought in when i was eighteen. i kind of love it, despite it’s impractical bedding like features and heavy weight. appropriate colours too for this day of relief. good job guys.

5th November… sparklers, fireworks, bonfires, parkin. tired of my old indigo jeans i left them in a bucket of bleach over the weekend. i didn’t expect the neon pink at all, which bleeds blue to white, but the result seems fitting for bonfire night.

i recently customized this cozy cashmere coat. the addition of a zip has immediately updated it; thus = my coverup of choice.

i really loved my new waxed oversized biker jacket. but there was a problem; the dye was marking my clothes…. so i had to wash it, thus reducing the waxiness which had induced its very purchase. problem solved with an application of the classic Barbour wax (and i rewaxed my classic barbour style coat while i was at it). score.
