"Punk" D.I.Y. Jacket?
I going to make a "punk" jacket. This guy at my school has a nice leather one. Personally i think that the leather jacket is too cliche and sterotypical. So im just going to buy a regular black jacket like you would find at wal-mart or somewhere like that. I got a 12x13 back patch. Is it even worth it to make a "punk" jacket out of it?
First of all, why are you making a jacket? Just because some kid at your school has a nifty one you like? Or is it because you're actually into the scene and like the bands and what the whole subculture stands for? If you're doing it so you can look "cool" and "rebelliously different from the crowd", you should just stop. Stop.
If you're actually serious about it, here's a hint. Don't buy from Wal-Mart. Don't buy from Target either. Don't buy from any of those companies as a matter of fact. Buy your jacket from a thrift store. It doesn't have to be leather either. I don't think I can speak for every punk out there who wears a leather jacket, but I got mine for the main reason that it keeps you hella warm when it's cold out. The rest is just cosmetics. My friend has a denim vest that turned out really nice, just to show that leather isn't mandatory. But again, it's not going to keep you warm or anything. It's how you see fit. If you live somewhere that's cold, then I'd recommend leather. If you live somewhere that's warm most of the year, I'd suggest buying denim. The only shitty thing about leather is that you can't wear it once it gets too hot outside. Denim you can wear over a hoody if it's cold, and by itself if it's hot out. I digress.
Think about why you're making the jacket. If it's cause you want people to look at you and think "Punk Rawker" then don't bother. Cause when you run into someone who's into the scene, you'll look like a poser bitch. And no one wants to look like a poser bitch.
But if you're making it to reflect yourself, then I'd say buy a cheap jacket from a thrift store or somewhere that isn't a huge fucking corporation, make some patches (or buy them, but DIY is best) and buy some studs maybe. Acrylic paint is good too to paint sayings and band logos.
