So apparently the ink injection method of the fencing jacket isn't confirmed and is likely a myth so for the time being disregard the S tier of the tierlist. I am going to try email the CCP team about this as apparently they will sometimes respond to clear up misinformation.

This guy absolutely is producing this stuff as art pieces, whatever he says. None of it is for wearing really, it's for having and looking at. His 'I am not an artist' line is in the same vein as Magritte's 'this is not a pipe'. That said, the rubberized horse is pretty cool. I'm pretty sure those aren't real teeth either, they appear to be ceramic or resin, probably the same as dentures.

I’d unironically wear the last one. As long as it’s not horrible to wear and doesn’t smell (which hearing the rest of these it probably does) it’s a great statement. Injecting dye into veins sounds terrifying but it’s pretty regular it’s used a lot of different medical applications.

[@seraphinasullivan4849]

Intestine as a clothing material isn't that weird. When worked with tiny stitches of sinew thread, tanned by soaking and smoking it, you can make a completely water tight material good for raincoats or protective packaging and the fact it's translucent and often crinkly gives it an interesting effect. Kniting it is a little weird though, especially with that photo looking like such a loose knit that the waterproof properties are entirely nullified. But a tighter knit intestine sweater? With the soaked and smoked tanning method? I'd wear it

[@cr33p3rhd6]

10:49 Animal meat is a required source of sustenance (as much as vegans want to argue otherwise), while dying an animal's blood before slaughter is 100% not required.

The designer who made the wrong trousers

[@_moonbugz2771]

it is definitely best to tread with caution when it comes to carol info online- the injection of dye into the veins of a living animal is almost certainly just folklore spread by people using it as a way to drum up controversy and views among a younger fashion crowd who get their primary info from tiktok and youtube- a mad artist committing horrible cruelty sells far better than a skilled craftsman using an unconventional technique(injecting dye between the layers of raw hide). but the myth connects quite well to the themes that carol's work endeavors to leave its audience with + it's not hurting his team financially so it really just adds to the mystique. anyways great video! you're putting out some really solid work

[@foooodeatr343]

Are you saying you just highly doubt it's true or do you have a legitimate source to back the claim of it being a myth? Not trying to be a contrarian I am just genuinely curious as this is the first I've seen of someone claiming it's a myth. Extreme cruelty to animals would seem like a myth most designers would want to shake.

[@Matt-uf2nc]

@@foooodeatr343 Its a myth, caused by people trying to explain an effect they see without proper understanding and jumping to conclusions. And here is the proof, highlighting the effect, on a pair of boots made of guidi reverse horsebutt leather: preview.redd.it/u84iwc1ksg7a1.jpg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aa32e4e202c5af7bda8f97d7e0e956fc33128ce0 This example proves that one does not need to use any strange or cruel techniques to achieve such an effect. When dying the leather, dye can be absorbed much more quickly by the blood vessels compared to other parts of the skin, so you get this effect.

[@Matt-uf2nc]

​@@foooodeatr343 I'm not sure if my comments are loading, but yes its just a myth. It is an effect of blood vessels absorbing dye faster than the rest of the skin. No cruelty needed.
