~subies~ ^^

[SuperherosInDisguise]

I just woke up an caught a glimpse of the 2 unused leather jackets in my closet and adding studs to make them more appealing donned on me. This video was very helpful.

[UnitedHateLv]

Just bought a harley davidson jacket like 15 minutes ago. Much work to do. I got my studs from emo belts. :D

[therealkuzokun]

@lollennartol

Isn't sad that I actually did that the last time I studded something?

[panteralover23]

Your method is genius!

[TomDarkwulf87]

Definitely saving this video. I've got a faux leather jacket that I'm going to start putting some patches on and I want to stud along the top of the shoulders.

[oktoberK]

Hey, can I ask what did you use to add the red to the lapels of your jacket?

[jimmycrackcorn3333]

thanks. i was having trouble pushing the prongs down on the other side and wanted to see what people were using other than their fingers

[PomonaPunkRock]

i had a tool that was specialy for bending the spikes on the studs. i need to buy a new one but i cant find any stores around or online.

[prettyplagues]

that's a fucking beautiful denim jacket.

[supernobody]

Thanks for the tips. And that Dead Kennedys vest is pretty awesome.

[lollennartlol]

When you're hardcore, use your teeth to make holes and you fingers to fold the endings n_n

[903willyboy]

@smokemoar420

when the jacket is to small you just take the studs off. no point buying more!!!

[903willyboy]

can you get these spikes/studs out?

if so, HOW?????

[wolf2hawk]

@903willyboy just unbend them.... duh

[PomonaPunkRock]

@903willyboy use your plyers and bend the spikes straight and pull the studs out

[krist3030]

nice! I was just going to buy an expensive machine, you saved me from throwing money away thanks!

[Ironlung77]

that guys a baller

[puppetmaster983]

Has anybody ever seen one of Alice Cooper's formal jackets? He studded every square inch of the arms.

[chavezmoore]

Hey I'm trying to email studs and spikes by me gmail is telling me that they're email doesn't exist how do I get into contact with em

[bloodrot123]

[metalmones]

[bleedy13]

[Cryptbass]

this is where I learned how to stud my leather jacket haha

[DasMFactory]

my biggest problem is... where do i buy a metal dart from ? lol

could you take a look at this and give me some pointers? I LOVE the studs on this jacket, but unlike the ppl who can afford burberry I like to not be homeless than have a jacket. here's the picture, it's got killer studs

[DasMFactory]

it wont let me post the link... if you look up "Burberry Prorsum Studded Jacket" you will see it

[vlwpictures]

Hey, I've got a question.. I've got like this old studded belt, I removed the studds and I was thinking of placing them in my jacket.. Do you think that the posts will still be strong enough?.. (Yes I'm really careful but I don't want to screw my jacket up :P)

[boopoppy1912]

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS HELPFUL VID :D

[jomicvicious]

where can i get studs like that?

[xranger56x]

@jomicvicious from studsandspikes of course lol. im buying some from there to stud some shit now :D

[VerrucktHuhn]

Where do you even get a leather jacket?

[wyattb995]

@VerrucktHuhn I would think so. but not on the toe( cant reach it)

[RootsRunDeeep]

what about leather boots- can it be done for that too?

[miscriant]

i aint talking shit but u sound like one of those like home recreator guys or sum shit but cool vid

[gcsugirl]

[furyfigueroa1753]

[GagaSwallowedMyBrain]

2:27 .....NEED...TO....HAVE...!!.I WANT!!

[WorriedYeti]

[hexandvarney]

[DemonicWoofy]

Do you have any tips on how to keep the studs straight?

[MultiJedimaster]

oi oi oi

[kilrancid]

i usually just use my hands the first few times its hard to get it through but i think it works better and faster then anything

[verrado]

Very helpful instructions, Thanks! I am going to try to stud a purse.

[gigaxshade]

Word

[kitttycakeee]

the dart idea is genius. really.

[nailay7]

@kitttycakeee agreed

[StArMasteRz]

great

[sp4everX]

does anyone know some websites where they sell cheap vegi-leather.x?

[punklover99]

depends on what your trying to make

[UltraS606]

I have a thin lamb skin leather jacket. Would I still have to use that hole punch?

[punklover99]

you might try just punching threw with the stud itself

[UltraS606]

The leather was still strong. I had to use a knife.

[UnicornFlavors]

How many inches thin is your mohawk?

[ckmsquared]

i wanna stud my pants :)

[UnicornFlavors]

.....

[CIG2b]

i wanna watch faces of death

[RhianaM]

Why are peope talking about overpopulation on a DIYstud tutorial ? LMFAOO , some people these days ...

[blobperson]

it came up in a debate about leather, I didnt start it...

[blobperson]

darts work really good, better than the leather punches

[CIG2b]

Sorry i apologize

[oifydude]

fuck leather.

[punkrckr3]

fuck you

[oifydude]

youre so punk

they fucking kill animals to make that leather just so you can wear

[punkrckr3]

there only cows. im from wisconsin we have bijilions of them learking about the random feilds. they also make faux leather just so you know so there may be a smidgin of a chance i have a faux leather jacket (i dont but just sayin)

just let people be the way they are and you stay the way you are, beleive what you beleive and let me do the same. dont be one of thoes fags trying to do stuff just because you want them to. just let people be who they are

good day sir

[oifydude]

i doesn't matter how many they have.

pleather is acceptable for me because its fake

i never told you to do anything. i just gave out opinions in trying to educate.

but yes i would like it if you stoped buying real animal products because basically they de-furred the animal or killed the animal so you can look good.

[blobperson]

you know what would happen if no one or nothing killed other living things? there would be a massive population exploition and every living thing would die or starvation and dehydration. not to mention mal-nutrition for omnivores(including us, humans) and carnivores

[oifydude]

that is natural when population reaches a high rate.

bacteria and viruses are easier to spread and etc.

does that give the right to kill Chinese(in which china has done in the past for population control)

just leave it to the philosophy of evolution, if you can survive than you have the chance to go on.

that is one of the fundamentals of anarchy.

[blobperson]

I wanna eat meat and wear leather, I dont find anything wrong with that . Even though Im an anarchist

[oifydude]

u want 2 support the murder of living beings dat hav da same mind of a human 2 year old,dey sho signs of empathy and affection along wit able 2 think for dem selvs and cuz of dis fear deth. farms kill these animals and u eat dem, but u already grew up N' adapted to eating meat and u prbly don't see wat wrong with it because of what you have been taught yor whole life these habits and so what i am saying is against the norm/ u naturally are going to argue against it since its u believe in dis.

[blobperson]

I natuarally crave meat......So I eat it, pretty simple my friend.

And I have nothing against ending things so other things can go on, this includes killing other living beings so that I can survive, but Im not a wasteful killer, nor one who kills in vein....

[seventhhean]

yes u hav a valid point and i agree with u 100% and i eat meat 2but we hav a problom wen ppl kill animals 4 no reason or 4 sport

[blobperson]

yah, thats not cool.... the killing animals for no reason part I mean

[seventhhean]

ya its not at all i actually find it disgusting

[blobperson]

one other thing: I DO NOT support most of the food industry, like the big companies i like to stay clear from or the ones who abuse or mistreat thier animal or waste most of the carcus

[oifydude]

when you are killing a being it makes no difference.

you don't need meat to survive that is a myth and either way you should not be talking about survival on the internet...because when would there be internet in a survival situation

when you buy dairy always go for local brand where they don't continually milk the cow in a cramped cage.

[blobperson]

the internet is a luxury I have at the moment, I do not NEED it, and you are half right about not needing meat to survive, You need the nutrience inside the meat and it is more filling than veggitation, to this day I have yet to see a healthy veggitarian that dosnt take suplaments for thier poor diet...

[ihearthowardmoon]

@blobperson you've obviously never met a real vegetarian, or a vegan, because we are much healthier than those who eat meat and those of us who take care of ourselves properly know exactly what nutrients we need. I would suggest that you do more research, but based on your spelling and grammatical errors, I think that reading would be a challenging task for you.

[blobperson]

@ihearthowardmoon Oh yeah, I forgot you were with me my entire life, my bad. and no thats a stupid ass statement, vegetarians and vegans are not healthier, you said yourself "know exactly what nutrients we need"= supplementing(if you dont eat meat, and/or animal products). and sorry about the wrong spelling on one word, what are you a fuckin english teacher?

[CIG2b]

i used to debo dog collars to get the spikes till i heard of this now i own a killer braclet i made off studs

[ForbiddeN184]

the only good thing in this page is the bullet belt M60

[gitanopnmex]

Whats up adam I trying to find a machine that can make these type of studs can you help?

[xpunkrockerr]

That was useful.

[punkrckr3]

i just use my fingers instead of a plyers

[lemmyispunk]

interesting, i have a denim vest and i try put the stus without make holes,and is so hard to put

[brandoncipelle]

you can sodder them together . They never fall out and it sholds better .PLus its easy to get off just use pliers and press really hard and you will break it and get t off hope that helped .

[MultiGamerGuy]

Yeah but when you have like 1000 studs to put in, i ain't up for soldering all them... So i'll just do this. It's obvious if you solder them your going to burn yourself sooner or later lol.

[adiosucks123]

i have a denim vest

so i dont need to punch a hole before i put my studs in?

i sorta need a reply pretty soon cuz im studding it today or tomorrow

[Ub3rlyAwesome]

nah, just push em in.

[adiosucks123]

well its two monthes late but thanks

my vest is pretty much done being studded

[fuckbush3323]

that dead kennedys vest was sick!!

[whydie666]

thats exactly what i wanted to know fuck yeah!

[punkishsloth]

I didnt push it all the way through the leather, I put mine in between the two layers of leather it looks cleaner lol but then again i have to do that. I need to get more studs though ive only got a few on my jacket and buttons but i got spikes and pyramids on the straps at the shoulders. I love DIY projects like this it gives me a smile

[ArmedHogs]

this video makes me horny

[frozenthrone001]

Thanks for sharing.

[ssdecontrol123]

Where can i find a leather puncher or whatever... and what if i use a thin tip knife....? wouldn't it make more sense cause the studs are like a triangle for the clips and the knife end has like a triangle shape to it..

[ryanguitarman]

first off, thanks for such a straight forward and informative video. Secondly, where exactly did you get your jacket shown in this video? I have two friends with leather jackets which are identical to eachother and seemingly to the one you have. also, what is the brand/model/whatever? Any help will be great.

-Ryan.

[george1punk2]

DIY FOR LIFE .

[octopusrave]

This is excellent. :3

[puetzofhell]

The onlything I have is a leather punch, what do you mean by "stretching out" the leather?

[xoxashley44]

Hey, i started to stud my jacket, and a bunch of the studs fell out. I know i can just put them back in, but is there a better way to put them in to begin with?

BTW: i just put the studs right in, i dont use something to punch the hole.

thanks!

[HaHaYourDead07]

Time and patience? Wow I have none, but I'll have to this time..

[NewDarkAges13]

i have a black jean vest, and i have alot but i know its not good but,..i... used my teeth to pin them. ONLY when my fingers couldnt, but hey, i have it exactly like how lars frederiksen has his vest when hes in the indestructible album and cheetah collar =]

[babyduck1]

How do you stud the arms of a jacket?

[EverydayHardcore]

Turn them inside out, but not all the way because you'll have to keep going back and forth. If it's a leather jacket with a liner, cut the liner and then sew it back up when you're done.

[MetalorGraves]

@EverydayHardcore Is there nothing that will allow you to set the prongs without turning the sleeves inside out?Something you could put inside the jacket and under the stud after you made the holes so you can tap with a mallet and and the prongs will bend in??

[pvvnsaw]

Wow now even I can look punk rock!!!

Thanks alot toolbox, way to sell out more of the subculture, you may as well sell your series straight to hot topic.

[EverydayHardcore]

Listen, you thick fuck-

you can't "sell out" a subculture by sharing basic information with people that are interested. Way to help kill your subculture by staying an elitist asshole. Get over yourself, you whiny little bitch. If you don't like it, don't watch it. How else can I simplify that for you?

[wyattb995]

@EverydayHardcore you can just call him a "COCK SUCKING SHIT MUNCHING RETARDED ASS FUCK WITH NO IDEA TO WHAT HES SAYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! see less to type or you can just be like henry rolins in that one interview were he starts interviewing his interviewer??? i.e. he calls you a sell out you go with it and say yes I have sold out dont watch me dont like me or my show just let me be a stupid sell out. or some shit like that.( I dont think you a sell out and I dont care what ppl think of me)

[ourargumentblog]

@pvvnsaw

You're a douchebag elitist fuckhead. Not everyone can figure these things out easily, and what, punk fashion is some sort of privileged right only a few people get? Fuck you, cunt. Stop calling yourself a punk and die.

[2crazy8]

can you use a nail?

[mastercheftrevor]

nails usually aren't sharp enough i imagine a dart would work well but I've always used a leather punch it doesn't stretch out the leather any more than a dart does.

[TaylorOnTheMic]

ive been planing to diy a leather jacket 4 a while and now that winters approaching theres no better time to do it and when i asked one of my friends how to do it he said this video was the best place to learn, thanks guys u kick so much ass, im almost the only punk where i live so i have to self teach my self some things ur a big help.

[ncpunx]

where can a find a nice leather jacket for a reasonable price?

[TradskinBootboy]

Burlington Coat Factory, any western store (most I've been in have decent looking punk/biker style leather jackets), Army Surplus stores, or if your desperate, try a thrift store

[adamraccoon]

how many studs would it take to completely cover a medium or small sized leather jacket?

[SirStickypants2]

well i wear a size large and to cover the back would be 1000

[tob1203]

how do pepole do really intrecate designs like the adcts face on his sleeve

[IMgoingtoupthepunx]

You thrown on a stencil and use house paint. thats what i do anyways

[tob1203]

how do you line it like the red part

[EverydayHardcore]

The only red part on Adam's jacket are the details that he painted (the edges of the zippers, pockets and epilets).

Lining a jacket is extremely tricky, because it's leather, which is hard as fuck to sew through, and lining a jacket properly requires lots of skill with a needle, careful measuring, and a willingness to re-do your work a million times. I don't suggest it, as I've never succesfully lined ANYTHING. Not even an a-line skirt.

-Jessi

[1903MaNiaC]

I just got the same kind of studs today, I'm glad I watched this be4 I went out & fucked up my jacket, thanx 4 the tips

[Some0neAgain]

what type of stud would you recomend for a levis jacket¿¿

british punk or colonical¿

and what sise¿

[EverydayHardcore]

Whatever you want. Colored studs are cool, but the enamel paint wears off really quickly.

We get most of our studs from studs and spikes. They have a myspace and a website.

[Some0neAgain]

thnx!!

[ErikHeroin]

dude that would take fuckin FFFFFFOOOOORRRRRREEEEVVVVEEERR­RR

[jokerkid14]

yes it will but fuck it

[punx4life1589]

i love the jacket man, im trying to stud mine but i can decide between british77 cones or the standard cones that you use

[silvermoonwolf19]

Ow ow ow ow GODDAMNIT ow.

I'm doing my own vest and leather jacket right now and it's coming along beautifully, but GOD does it take a long time. And my hands are a wasteland of pain.

Oh, I've also discovered that a good sharp X-acto knife is a great tool for studding leather. Just make the indentations and push the blade thru. No stretching a hole for the posts necessary.

...that sounded really dirty. Fuck yeah.

[MusicListener19]

si i ask this again, do u have a vid on adding spikes to the shoulders/epilettes, cuz i wanna know how to do that, and if u dont could u make 1 plz? thx,

[Ub3rlyAwesome]

What type of studs would you recommend for a denim vest? British punk or conical, and what size? What tools/techniques are the best for studding denim clothes? I'm going for a crust look.

[EverydayHardcore]

The best part of denim is you just need a pair of pliers. I like 1/2 inch conicals for the majority, and I like to add trim using TALL 77's of 7/16" or 1/2"

[Ub3rlyAwesome]

Thanks! Could you please message me the link for the silver conical studs that you use? Thanks a million! Punx Alive!!

[MusicListener19]

do u have a vid on adding spikes to the shoulders/epilettes, cuz i wanna know how to do that, and if u dont could u make 1 plz? thx,

[EverydayHardcore]

The best way is to drill or puncture holes JUST smaller than the diameter of the screw post. Under the fabric or leather put a strip of leather (for fabric) or a small metal washer (for either) under each spike for stability.

-Adam

[Quanieta]

i'm only a 12 yr old girl but i have done that with my leather jacket but it took me forever!!!!!! But it looks AWESOME!!!! ur way is easier than mine

[EverydayHardcore]

Glad to see you're keeping the style alive. Thanks for coming to us.

[jess1541]

I'm trying to add studs to my new hoodie. Will they come off in teh wash? I just added them to around the zipper and near the collar.

[EverydayHardcore]

Not if they're really on there. In high-usage areas you'll see more loss, but turn your hoodie inside out in the wash.

[nebulaaqt]

lol i wonder how much studs were on that jacket...

i put 50 on my jacket yesterday n it took me like 2 hours or so

[EverydayHardcore]

about 1500.

[punkykid93]

how many studs did you use to stud the whole of your collar

[bombdrop17]

pause it and count em

[EverydayHardcore]

probably around 120-200

[shueln]

Damn I studded a denim vest and it definatly didnt take this much work, Im glad I didnt use leather. I did it with 1/2 inch pyramid studs. To stud about 250 studs It took me six hours, but I get compliments from people all the time about how nice it looks.

[sae05z]

dis vid , helped me so much with the studs.

thnx man. =)

[bombdrop17]

i like this video i keep watchin it i dont know why

[stephanie6540]

Thanks for your instructions 40ozRob

but i know how to put studs on leather jacket but i dont know for the spikes. Is is very different?

[bombdrop17]

for spikes i make the hole just big enough for the screw the put it on and screw it on tight so it wont come off

[bombdrop17]

for spikes i make the hole just big enough for the screw the put it on and screw it on tight so it wont come off

[bombdrop17]

are those the english 77 1/2" studs from studs and spikes dot com? i dont want to buy 1000 to find out there not the right ones and i want the ones u have on the collar and also where did u get your jacket?

[SporkFilms1]

They're standard 1/2" conical studs. look in "bulk and discount" section.

I use 77's, tall and stqandard, but on some of my vests. talls are really great for edges because they stand out. 77 standard are a LITTLE taller and a LITTLE skinnier than 1/2 inch standard.

[stephanie6540]

hi adam i want to put spikes and studs but i just dont know how to do. I know there is a lot of ways to do that but i cant find informations in french so can you descripe every stage because i can read english but not listen very well

[40ozRob]

1)You need the following tools:

-A steel tipped dart

-a pair of pliers

-Studs (personal preference)

2) Take your stud, which should have 2 prongs on it, and press the prongs hard into the leather. It should leave an mark in the leather.

3) Using the marks as a guide, take the dart and poke holes into the leather. Roll the dart to help make the holes big enough for the leather

4) Take your stud and push the prongs through the holes you made

[40ozRob]

5) Take your pliers and pull the prongs into the leather.

Use the video as a guide and I hope this helps.

[maytheworldburn]

Where did you bye yore jacket?

[SporkFilms1]

ayp.

-Adam

[assasinejs]

Is it me or does Adam say the word 'Really' a lot! In every episode! Its like his faveourite word!

[KleenerHunga]

Good instruction!!!! it also helped me designing my jacket,thanks!!!

[LIoffical]

i have the same denim vest that you do i was wondering how many studs it would take to cover the entire back execpt for the spot where the back patch is?

[EverydayHardcore]

Probably around 1200, give or take. He says he lost count after 20.

-Jessi

EDHC

[TheMightyMcClaw]

Very informative - thanks. I have a question, though - say I want to do studs along the sleeve how would I go about fixing them in place? Do you just reach up into the sleeve with pliers?

[EverydayHardcore]

Pretty much. Fold the sleeve inside out as you go.

-A

[girl118]

Hey wich method is better to use?

Bending the prongs into a loop?

Or bending them towards each other like in your video?

[Harlikins]

I've used both. I haven't found one that works better, they're about the same. Bending them into a loop keeps them from being pokey, though, which is nice if it's a garment that will be rubbing against your skin.

Best of luck.

Jessi

[FreddyRamone]

the loop wurks better for me if you bend it far enough in that the prongs push the leather into the inside of the spike if that makes any sense. it helps keep ithe spike in better. if you just fold the prongs flat and the leather filds where the stud is the prong might slip out of the jacket. i had this problem alot mostly at shows..
