idk who needs to hear this but if your "crust pants" dont have any crust band patches THEN THEY ARENT CRUST PANTS!!! THIS IS NOT DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND!!! like ok cool that you have political patches and whatever bands you like but if there are no crust bands then STOP, THEY ARENT CRUST PANTS. just call them patch pants and go, nothing wrong with that!

I'm seeing a lot of people say that punk fashion is expensive and inaccessible, which is very wrong. here is a list of some ways you can make punk fashion easier, cheaper and more accessible for you, since that's... kinda the whole point.
others are encouraged to add onto this!! (just don't recommend corporations like amazon. not cool.)
1. patches!! you don't need to buy them. DIY patches are not ugly or boring. in fact, they are encouraged here!! DIY, in my opinion, is always the best thing to do when it is an option and is safe to do so.
2. speaking of DIY, spikes!! you can make them!!
cut the top and bottom off of an empty can. cut down the middle of the cylinder and flatten it, so it's just a flat rectangle of metal.
cut out a shape that is kind of a third of a circle, but around 3/4 of the curved edge is taken up by triangle shapes. (I'm not very good at describing, so here's a badly drawn picture)
Tumblr media
roll it into a cone, leaving the 4 triangles sticking out at the bottom. this bit is optional, but you can fill it with hot glue to make it more sturdy, just be careful touching the hot metal. I tend to hold the cone by one of the triangles with a bit of fabric wrapped around my fingers for this bit. cut 4 small holes in your fabric in this kind of shape:
Tumblr media
and put the spiky bits of triangle through the holes. fold the triangles in on themselves to secure the spike in place. boom. spike obtained. this is one I made and attached to a little piece of fabric to test this method out:
Tumblr media
3. battle vests!! (like the base jackets). the best places to buy these are charity shops and second hand websites in my opinion, but if anyone else knows any better options, please reblog with those!!
a good trick I find works well on eBay is to filter search results to your country (or state? can you do that in the US? idk) so that a: fast delivery because local, and b: all the sellers of everything that shows up are in YOUR TIME ZONE.
why is this important? when people sell something for really cheap, it goes FAST. check eBay at like, 2am or something. all the scalpers in your area are asleep. grab the cheap stuff while they can't.
4. sewing!! want patches, but can't sew for whatever reason? I've heard of a lot of people with joint conditions like arthritis complain about the inaccessibility of patch stuff, and that does sound extremely annoying, however:
safety pins!! while they are still a little fiddly, they're much less work so you don't have to fiddle about for long. if you can, you could even ask a friend to help, since it doesn't take long at all I'm sure someone will be willing to help out!! (I know I would, but that's just me, and I love this kind of thing). safety pins on clothes are also widely considered to be a symbol of solidarity, so if anything, you're adding some extra love and meaning to your patch pants/battle jacket.
if that's still too fiddly, fabric glue is always an option. unfortunately this means you won't be able to remove/reposition patches, at least without leaving a massive patch of residue, but if you're ok with that then fabric glue is probably your best bet.
for people who prefer sewing: as for where to get the thread, I've heard a lot of people recommending dental floss, as it's apparently much cheaper and works just as well. I haven't tried this myself so can't confirm that, but I thought I'd share it regardless.
5. where to get fabric!! old clothes. rip em up. you don't need any kind of fancy fabric from the craft store. my patches are made of old jeans that I grew out of.
don't have any old clothes and you don't want to waste any good ones? I'm not sure about other countries, but in the UK, as long as you're not on private property (trespassing), dumpster diving is perfectly legal.
I definitely ;) do NOT encourage ;) trespassing rich people's land ;) to steal from their dumpsters ;)
or tbh it doesn't matter too much how rich the person is, since it's all going to landfill anyway. if it's in the bin, it's free game, but you didn't hear that from me. ;)
please add onto this where you can!! and if I missed something or got anything wrong, add that on too!!

I added a water bottle pocket to my pants!
This came up due to the fact I use Lyft bikes to get around and they don't have bottle holders, so I placed this pocket here because this part of my leg remains relatively upright while pedaling.
Heres the initial proof of concept
Tumblr media
But it looked rather silly especially when not in use. It also flopped around a lot when a full drink is being held and I was walking around so I started to look into ways to collapse it and secure it when in use.
First attempt came up with this:
Tumblr media
Which looks nice, but wouldn't help restrain the movement of the pocket with a bottle in it.
So I moved to this belt design, using straps I had designed for the pants in an earlier iteration.

And it works like a charm.
Holds the bottle in place, is easy to fold away, and looks nice in use.
Though not sure I like the red and might switch to black straps but I'd love to hear all your thoughts and possible improvements!

Here's some progress on my patch pants. These are a pair of old work pants that used to be my brother's, they've got some pretty good pockets! ✧d(•̀ v•̀ )
There's still more patches to add, and still some holes and stains I'd like to cover up, but I think they're coming along quite nicely! (๑^ω^๑) <3

any pictures of your completed/almost completed jackets/vests?
YEAH
I don't feel like explaining every single polish patch so if you have questions just ask
My Crust Pants
Made out of worker pants, so they have 10 pockets. I am seen wearing them whenever its colder than 25'C which is unfortunately rarely these days
Tumblr media Tumblr media
My Default Battle Jacket
Made out of a cropped denim shirt bc finding a denim jacket in a polish thrift store is downright impossible, but this way its lighter so it worked out in the end
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Poser Jacket
It's not finished as I need to add the decorative stitching to most of the patches (they're basted in with a sewing machine bc i wanted to make the jacket wearable asap). It's designed to be more functional than my default jacket as it's compatible with a backpack and is overall lighter
Tumblr media Tumblr media
My Custom Hand Made Platforms
I'm super proud of these, I made them out of demonia knock-offs i got off a friend which were knee high, too hot and too narrow for me, so I cut them down to be mid-ankle which makes my legs look longer, sewed down the zipper, added spikes to the bottom bands and studs to the top ones (as spikes on the top would interfere with long pants) and a chain on the side. Bc they're knockoffs they're super light and insanely comfortable, I've easly walked 200km in them combined
One red, one black normally laced shoelace means just general punk and antifa in local lace code.
I wanted to have ladder laced light blue shoelaces (code for gay man in central and eastern europe) but i just fucking hate having ladder laced shoes, they just are never tight enough and it's awful

Ive ran out of photo space but lemme know if you want to see my backpack
