Where Duh Sewers At?

I've always upgraded ski hoodies each year. Not because I didn't like the past year's hoodie, they were just too small for me. (None of these hoodies were actually too small, I just like huge and baggy stuff.) So I went from XL > 3XL > 4XL > 5XL. Then I started to realize even 5XL didn't fit my Big Baggy tastes while standing at 6'1" anymore. So I decided to learn how to sew and make my own ski hoodies. And I have learned that making your own ski hoodie is the best thing ever. So I have made 3 homemade hoodies this season.

So I'm just curious if anyone else here on NS sews their own ski clothing? So if you do post up a pic!

1st Hoodie I made (Took my store bought Ankilla hoodie that was too short, cut it in half, added a lil in the middle to make it 38in.)

2nd Hoodie (I liked the red pattern in the first hoodie so much I wanted to make one completely out of a red pattern. Made it totally from scratch, poly ester outer layer, fleece-lined inside layer, 37.5 in tall.)

3rd Hoodie (Loved my red one, but the hood was too big, didn't have a drawstring, no pocket, and just could have been sewn more simple and better. Also I feel like people who saw me wearing it at the gas station thought I was a white boy trying to be a Piru. So with this one I wanted to fix all the past issues and make it Black. So outside layer is suit material with fleece-lining, drawstring, pockets, and 40 in. tall.)

Thanks for reading. Post a Pic!
 
made the one in this pic a while back, its starting to fall apart where the stripes are but I still frequently use it as a mid layer because its fleece and the hood is absolutely massive and fits over my helmet well

Intriguing... I would die to piece a mystery ranch frame on every pack I own. Just seeing what happened when then did a small collab with a Camelbac hydration day pack = EPIC

That's why I made my own! For one it is way cheaper and two I can choose what to put on it, what color and basically anything else. You guys are going to love the packs that are in the works right now once I finish them.

does it hurt you to shoot down every thread you find?

When I started making hoodies I was excited when someone showed me that cult. Thought I'd return the favor.
 
Those back packs look dope as shit dude. definitely post the one you're working on

Also what material do you use for your back packs and how much does one cost in material?
