process of making Sid Vicious jacket by blackmeans

[@StrayCatMatt]

"Just wear it for 30 years, that's the real way to do it!" Yeah, okay, So if you wanna have a nice distressed jacket you better buy one when you're 20 so it can look good by the time you're 50 lmfao

[@padraigmahone4512]

Mn. Thnig is, Vicious' Perfecto was bought new during the ill-fated January '78 tour of the USA, and he died in February 79, so he didn't have long to break it in...

[@josephduffy6455]

I totally agree with you mate I have had many leather bike jackets but I bought one when I was 28 I'm 62 and still have it and it looks great

[@ateeshJ]

Or simply steal your uncle's.....

[@bandavenerea]

But Sid died at the age of 21 kkkkk

[@matheus.l.rego6]

If you go to punk gigs, and hang out with punks in less than a year your jacket will look way more battered than this one

[@AndresCuervoArt]

If you don't wear it daily sun and rain or ride a motorcycle in the sun and rain... Your only option to distress it is leaving it outside to the sun and rain. Nothing breaks in leather like wearing it in the rain and the letting it dry on you.

[@wilsjane]

Using it to beat a grass fire out also works fairly well for a cowhide leather biker jacket.

[@kuerv0145]

and don't forget the rain

[@devinfahada4880]

Mine is shrinking to the point I can even comfortable to wearing it

[@sliderx1897]

I like the idea of rolling it up to help break it in but thats as far as id go.

[@miracleman.]

lol

[@Danincort]

The jacket looks stiff. A high lanolin leather soap treatment followed by mink oil. Wear jacket in the rain and sun. Keep up mink oil. Jacket will fade from shoulders down but remain supple like lamb skin. Some of my jackets are over 50 years and better than new.

[@666darrellful]

It's assumed that the more you use it, the jacket adapts to the body

[@vincentcalafiore846]

Mink oil is bad

[@adhyantorokusumo7451]

So many hate comments here. I agree about what he's doin here. Not everyone wearing leather jacket everyday. Some people like used / worn look and dont have time to wear their leather jacket till the patinas come out. Schott did the same method with their line up called " Schott Per70". This guy knows what he's doing. It's for fashion sake guys. Just take it ez

I wanted to see how they cut and stitch the leather, not how you age it...

[@CoffeeMadeMeSay]

they dont. They buy used leather jackets, and put their own artistic twists on it.

[@pomidorcia]

[@Chris-rr5jq]

I have a large collection of leather jackets. Impossible to wear them every day because I like to change cuts and colors often. Impossible to have a beautiful patina even after several years. I will never use this method, but if you like a rough look on your leather, why not. Nice job.

[@ChipsAplentyBand]

I have a large assortment of leather jackets too, Chris. The problem is that when one of them becomes a favorite the others get neglected.

[@asianwok]

Do you have any success thrifting leather jackets? I'm thinking about trying my luck and am wondering if I'd be wasting my time

fake patina

[@mikedegrazia]

Makes it look shiny on the raised parts. Its a form of "slicking"...

[@urbanismogdl1092]

How about wearing it in every single gig for a couple of years & earn the stripes to wear such jacket with some not giving a fuck punk state of mind ?

[@Tigerfire75]

Don't worry about getting this jacket done anytime soon. Sid has been dead since Feb. 2nd 1979. He is in no hurry to get it.

[@mjh5437]

Burnishes it.

[@matoy121]

what's your jacket brand and size? where can I get this?

[@ThePolyesterPimp]

The brand is blackmeans

[@calebthecoolchey6805]

This should be titled “How to ruin a perfectly good leather jacket”. Whatever happened to developing its unique cool character through years of wear? How lame and fake!

[@itzsamuelx]

it was probably per request by a customer. Blackmeans, the brand this guy started is highly regarded as one of the best leather jacket brands in japan in both quality and design. It would most likely take 2-3 years for someone to be able to break it in and have it at the state towards the end of this vid

[@wilsjane]

Sid Vicious added a lot of distress to his leathers by using them to stub his cigarettes out, or leaving them burning on the leather, rather than bothering with an ashtray. On one occasion, he and Nancy set fire to their hotel bed. When security arrived, they were casually rolling on the bed and snuffing the flames out with their leather jeans. They managed to put the mattress out, before the fire department arrived, LOL.

[@xavierramirez1911]

sure, but who's gonna wait 30-40 years for the perfect distressed look? A lot of 'younger' styles incorporate the distressed look and this is a perfect example.

[@krause303]

I wait he said "ouch" when he ironing the jacket 😅 seems like the iron didn't work

[@Lockstock-boom]

I just rode my chopper in all weathers and oil changes to get a good look to it

@Becoming Godsize My jeans are heavy cowhide and they get well distressed when we are on the ground in the gravel car park, ripping the ass out of a guys Levi's on the sharp gravel. One guy also drops his cigarette on my leather crotch and grinds it out with his harness boots. 😊

[@TaitanaKoomglang]

how to good job guye

[@davidnorton8797]

What does the ironing do to the jacket? Does it shrink it??

[@wilsjane]

Heat hardens and shrinks leather, but it needs to be heavy cowhide and kept oiled to survive without cracking up, Sid had plenty of experience, both from Nancy using his jacket to stub her cigarettes out and from the day that she set their bed in the hotel alight and he had to roll on it and put the flames out with his leather jacket and pants. No doubt that is why his leathers are so unique and sell for a small fortune.

[@stonecoldaustinlee5159]

@@wilsjane is this a true story or is this sarcasm?

[@wilsjane]

+Stone Cold Austin Lee. Their were several stories of Nancy smoking while drunk and stoned when she set the bed alight and she and Sid just rolled on it to to stop the whole bed catching alight. On one occasion, the hotel fire alarms triggered and Sid continued smothering the flames with his leather jeans to prevent the flames erupting while security rushed off to find a fire extinguisher. In the past, firefighters also wore leather jackets and many older guys say that they withstood the heat and embers better than the modern uniforms. A few years ago, their was a case where a racing biker received serious burs when hid bike caught on fire. However his leathers did not burn through and his injuries were caused by the nylon lining melting onto his skin. It is hard to believe the stupidity of the company who manufactured his leathers.

[@stonecoldaustinlee5159]

@@wilsjane Yea was just wondering if that was a true story that's some wild ass shit I see why his brand is valued But yea I heard that nascar drivers have certain leather shoes that are specifically designed to protect from fire

[@wilsjane]

The flame proof overalls worn by racing car drivers are very controversial, since while they do not burn, they offer almost no protection against the heat. Many drivers wear wool long johns and then denim jeans under them to add to the protection and it protects them for much longer. Protection from flames AND heat is quite a complex issue. I am not surprised about the shoes, I have heard of sneakers catching alight and melting when just stomping out a small camp fire.

If you wanna get it the Sid way. You have to wear it get shit faced drunk and pass out random places with it on.

acetone

[@wilsjane]

@@OFNBW We used to put acetone on our jacket, set it alight and after about 10 seconds bash it against our Levi's or leather jeans to put the flames out. It distressed our jeans at the same time and saved singing our hands putting the fire out. 😊 Have you ever used fire to distress your leathers.?

[@NoNonsense001]

??? Wear your mc jacket. break it in yourself. I'm in no way was or part of the punk culture but I know enough to know to vintage your clothes for a markup in price is no means of being part of the culture, as this man is dressed. If its a fashion statement then ok (him or the jacket). By all means put it in the dryer, clip off the zipper pulls and teeth and markup the price. But don't pass yourself (the jacket) off of that unique culture, by throwing "Sid Vicious' " name into the description. You're in effect patronizing it. I might add the jacket does look nice at the end. but I wouldn't pull off the teeth in the zipper.
