First is the "attach a patch" velcro I ordered from ebay. It is PERFECT.
Second is a couple of swatch books from Stretch House. Interesting bunch of fabrics, and certainly much more than I expected. Out of all of the samples, there are two that I am interested in.
HEY MATT, I WENT ON EBAY TODAY AND I SAW THIS..

i really would love to know how the made little s; all over the suit.
Amir, I believe that suit is made by a guy who goes by the name "Ricky". Good guy, and he makes some good suits. I own one. I believe he uses a process called "Dye sublimation printing" to get the design on his fabric. Based on the suit of his I own, I believe this to be the case. it's a VERY neat process that is done independent of the standard silk screening process. You can get very impressive results at a low cost, and I believe that unlike silk screening, there is not a heavy up-front cost.
ReplyDeleteOverally, Ricky's suits are a nice "beginner" suit. The colors are very bold, but not quite accurate. The craftsmanship of his body suit leaves something to be desired. it's just a little "home spun" looking. It doesn't look like something you would find in a store, but instead at a crafts fair. BUT, with that said, for the money, it's a nice suit.
