lmao, heaven forbid someone turn their passion into something that can support them. Don't go all "ah you dislike society yet you participate in it" on me.
Ah yes, owning property that you yourself don't live on and charge a premium for, is very comparable to providing your unique skills for a very specific purpose.
Dude runs a small tailoring business, not exactly extracting a whole lot of surplus value.
"I own a business that is actually just selling my own labor" is not the same as "I own a business that employs people and I profit from their labor".
The first time I made myself a shirt I was this stoked. I haven't bought clothes in years now, save the odd op shop bit to use as fabric for another project.
Shit, I could see myself going down this rabbit hole.
You can get an old singer 202 in good condition that you will not be able to break and can be repaired forever for like $30.
Won't have zig zig stitch, but if you're making anything pre 1950 you won't need zig zag stitch.
i ceremoniously burned my last pair of jeans at the age of 14
what a lad
Sure, but when I dress like M. Bison and form my own fighting tournament the police just shoot me
Nah, NJR is much worse. This dude here really researches what he does and has high quality reconstructions. NJR is just some nerds idea of vintage
How does this thread have only one comment about NJR? What the hell people.
Hey now, that's not fair. NJR dresses like he just lost a game of croquet to a a guy named Quentin Harcourt-Fossilwhythe and is about to get shipped off to die in WWI. Completely different vibe.
They need to be dressed like Victorian orphans too. Flatbrim caps, suspenders etc
So um why are we dunking on this guy? He's wearing whatever the fuck he wants and giving no shits about what polite capitalist society tells us we have to wear to be Taken Seriously, that's fucking cool. Plus he's making his own clothes and cutting out the horrendously exploitative fashion industry, and seems to be having fun doing it.
The stuff he's wearing is not my cup of tea, but who the fuck cares, good for him
Oh that guy. He's kinda well known in the costume making and historical clothing community. I personally am not a fan, but that's just cause he gives me weird vibes...
He's a little odd in this interview, but his interview with meme mom made him seem just like a normal guy who really likes wearing regency clothes.
