Arcuate Painting

[WhoGotMeIntoThis]

Just for shits and giggles I've been thinking about pulling the pocket stitching out of my Levi's STF's and doing something similar to Evisu...like a cream or red paint in the typical Levi's fashion.

Kixslf thinks acrylic paint would work fine...but does anybody know what kind of paint would be best for painting on denim?

*I'm just having fun with these jeans so if you're gonna hate on me for pulling the pocket stitching out of Levi's feel free.

why dont you just paint over the stitching like evisu did?

use enamel ... imo

[WhoGotMeIntoThis]

meh, I dunno, just wanted to remove the stitching...I'm just bored alright...haha

I am pretty sure evisu uses acrylic. I used black acrylic to black mine out. You could also use screen printing ink like speedball.

acrylic, with a slight mix of system 3 acrylic textile print medium..

that will keep the paint flexible, so it wont crack off.. or fall out during wash (after you heat seal it of course - iron and grease-proof paper)

Get ahold of a sewing machine and re-sew the arcuates in Red or White. I always thought that would look kinda cool.

Ahhh, that's a freaking awesome Idea...I might have to do that with my Premium Levi's when I get them. I really want to try the paint...kind of sloppy Evisu-ish just because it'd be different for a pair of levi's...we'll see what happens.

if those are the levi's i was talking about in the other thread, you'll rethink that when you see the quality of these, save the tricks for your stf's.

tons of stuff for sale now on ebay: corpus, Rag & Bone, Helmut Lang, levi's premium, Gap, vintage etc.

Yeah, I would save playing around for your STF's. If you end up not liking it you are only out $30.

if you resew the articulates with a machine, you will have to remove the back pocket.
