Walking Dead Rick Jacket

[prime40]

i asked wsl to send me actual photos of the jacket and this is what they sent me

So I actually have this jacket, but it was a custom for me and the funny thing is is that I put in request for these exact same things along with increased mobility in the arms.

I pretty much fix the whole problem with the WSL jacket it’s way more mobile. It doesn’t really have that shoulder stick up anymore, I had them tighten the cuff, so it kind of wraps around my wrist nicely, though it is a little loose at times same color stitching as well and to be honest this is as close as it gets for me.

Obviously had the color modified, because the one they give it is absolute dog **** lol. But I’m happy with this jacket and it’s gonna look great when it’s worn out.

it really looks good, but if you are also picky about small details then you should change the zipper pawl

i got the original edition and mine looks like that when i saw the photos they gave me i figured they changed the design a lot

 

[LieutenantNinja]

i’m glad to see you’re still active prime and i wanna ask did you use angulus dye for your jacket? what size bottle? also could you repeat the steps you took to do so because i forgot what page they’re on

 

[LieutenantNinja]

 

[LieutenantNinja]

those are the pics they sent me. i asked for the lycra to be a lil longer but it doesn’t look like they did it. i sent them reference pics as well to visualize what i wanted but it’s whatever.

can we see a recent pic of the jacket on you?

 

[LieutenantNinja]

sorry for spamming but mine is coming on wednesday and i ordered it on 22 of feb so it only took like 3 weeks which was better than i expected

Yeah, they switched up their new addition a lot, the suede, a lot less heavy and it’s more smooth.

But as far as my modifications go, the main thing, I really focused on was the mobility of the jacket because the lines on the front of the jacket, the previous one that I have that I modified a lot they were too low to the point where if you expanded your arms, it would make the chest of the jacket really tight and if you raise your arms above to like a position, the jacket would completely lift up to where my bellybutton was.

This jacket, completely solves both of those problems and is really flexible and it kind of just completely negates the pointy shoulder problem

 

[prime40]

can we see a recent pic of the jacket on you?

For sure! PS there is no lining in the jacket, except the lining with the in jacket pockets

So for the Angulus dye that I used on my first WSL jacket.

Through my journey of using suede dye, because goddamn, I went through so much suede die, and made so many mistakes that I can probably give you a full rundown.

So right now the ones I’m seeing online are like the 3 ounce ones get probably like 6 to 10 of those.

If you can find a bigger size like the 6 ounce, then get six of those. The color you’re looking for is black.

Now, other than the sway dye, you’re going to need some dabbing sponges, you can find them online do not use any soap, sponges, or any house sponges you need to specifically get dabbing, sponges specifically made for suede die.

They look like little circles.

As far as the technique goes, do not stroke the jacket with the suede and you’re not gonna get all the furs in it and it’s going to leave a bunch of spots where it’s not a solid color. Instead, you’re going to dab the entire jacket with that sway dye and remember to wear gloves when you do this because suede will stain your hands like crazy and it will take like two weeks to get out.

Also, good to see you too

Yeah, I get it when you’re communicating with them you have to constantly email them about what you want because they aren’t the best at communicating. You have to remind them a lot.

For example, I had to always include the modifications that I want for the jacket and asking when I can see more pictures of it and such and such.

They’ll give you a final picture of the jacket maybe email them and ask them if they can take a picture and wear it real quick. Then they’ll ask you if you’re ready for it to ship and if you don’t like what you see, then you can say no and elaborate on what you want.

It’s a custom jacket so they can’t really complain about it

could you refer me to a specific one? i’m seeing all kinds

 

[fangrimes]

what size is the jacket? I'm thinking between size L and Xl

 

[Just A Dead Man]

The shoulders are definitely not fixed.

Yeah, I probably shouldn’t have said totally fixed but they’re better and to be honest I can’t really complain.

My fault for the misuse of words.

It does look better! Looks like a solid uppgrade.

It does look better! Looks like a solid uppgrade.

Though now that I look at these pictures, I think I can finally understand what needs to be fixed on the jacket to fix the shoulder problem completely.

I feel like the line where the shoulder and arm meet is too far over to the arm.

In other words where the shoulder meets the arm, the line where the shoulder meets the arm needs to be pulled back more so that there can be more sleeve at the top where the shoulder meets.

Because the shoulder stitching, where it connects with the arm is very tight, and the sleeve itself is a lot more loose obviously.

So, by pulling the shoulder back and providing more sleeve at the shoulder, it would provide more flexibility on the shoulder, most likely the shoulder problem.

But that's just a theory, and I by no means know anything about jackets and the cuts that are made to form them.
