clothing

Hey guys! Not sure if anyone has posted about this before. But I just got my Scrubba Bag, and it is too unbelievable not to share. It is perfect for van life or really any kind of life spent on the move. It only takes about half an hour to wash a few days worth of clothes, then drying will...

I learned that traveling is not as hard as one would think. If one keeps to Transporation, Shelter, and Food (TSF) one can go farther than expected. However, I learned people pack too much (I am also guilty of this). Unless you are going to outer space or the Artic, you really don't need much...

So I picked up a pair of German bibs for a really good deal.They are supposed to be their version of gortex.Just wondering if anyone has used them or has heard anything about them.

Show me your DIY boots! Here's mine: They're steel toed military surplus combat boots. I added some spikes for the heck of it, and drew on a bunch of anarchist stuff all over it.

I have had many steel toe boots over the years including the top premium brands such as Red Wings and Rocky, as well as the more economical ones from Wal-Mart like the Herman Survivors, which in my opinion were the best all-around work boot on the market, considering wear and tear and price...

I have been working on crochet scarves, socks, and beanies. Mittens are my next project. I've never tried to sell any of it ive made in the past, i have however used them for warmth. Pretty sweet feeling when something you made from yarn is keeping you warm! Does anyone specifically crochet...

I have noticed that the nicer I look, the faster I get hitches. For a while, I only had one white shirt that quite quickly became a dirty brown shirt. The longer I traveled, the dirtier it got, and the longer it seemed to take to find a ride. I eventually ended up losing the shirt somehow (sadly...

I haven't seen as many other travelers rocking army coveralls as i thought i would. Is there a reason for this? I'm pretty green, solo thumber that hasn't been on the road very long, but i picked up a coverall at a flea market for $25 and I've since tossed most of my other clothing. I might be...

Over the summer my boots took a shit and I downgraded to a pair of cheap walmart hikers. and for the month that they were worth, I had a chance at some nice steel toe red wings but took the black nikes instead. Now that I've been traveling the bigger cities for awhile it hasn't made much sense...

So I needed...dafaq was it? Bearing lube I think. Found these hanging on the wall of Zumies. Your opinions?

I've had vests for years and just recently started a new one, but every time I wear it for a few hours at a time, it just rubs parts of my neck raw and I end up with a very sore rash. I've never had this happen with any of my other collared denim vests. Does this happen to anyone else? Could...

Anybody have any experience with these? Thinking of buying 2 pair for my June trek up through Cali (mostly walking) -------- http://www.mohmatt.com/#socks Designed initially to combat foot infections afflicting the homeless from a lack of long lasting socks, Auxi Socks are able to weather...

Hey guys just a quick question are patches earned?

Has anyone had any luck finding work pants/bibs for people with stick legs (without getting them altered)? I'm not talking skinny jeans tight, but all the normal work gear feels like clown pants on me. I can fit both of my legs in one leg of Carhartts with room to spare. Nothing seems to feel or...

if your boots dont keep your feet warm enough this idea seems like it would work. the idea is to take one of those windshield sun shades and cut some pieces out the same size as your boot insoles. put them in the bottom of your shoes and youre done.

I want punk and fucked up clothes, but I just can't bring myself to do it, myself. "Lazy" is the easiest thing to say, but honestly with all I'm going through in the area I'm currently in my energy is being sapped from having such hard times. I would just give stuff for someone to DIY punk/...

this thread goes out to all the ladies out there! i'm writing section of the StP book about what kinds of clothes to take on your travels, and while i have the guy stuff easily covered, i'd like to include a few tips for the ladies who will be reading the book. so what i'm wondering is, what are...

I accidentally went knee deep in a peat bog yesterday in a blizzard on Dartmoor. My boots are soaked. They are currently stuffed with dirty socks to soak up some of the water and sitting on the dashboard of my van soaking up any sun that there is. Has anybody got a top tips for drying out footwear?

I am planning to ride my bike through the american south, southwest, and pacific coast during winter. Any ideas on the clothes that won't over stuff a 45 liter backpack?

I'll throw two suggestions out their to start .I sweat by my Doc 1490s lasted 4 years now but I hear red wings are equally as durable what is everyone's thoughts on long lasting boots.

My Converse Chucks after three weeks in Brighton: Those shoes were as good as new as I started my trip. But after three weeks of spending time at the beach, sitting on the ground a lot and walking quite a few miles they got really worn out. Left shoe got a huge hole burned by some glowing...

im looking for overalls. any color but blue! but thats the only color walmart and tractor supply seems to have. where can i get some?

A lot of people depend on GoreTex, polypropylene, fleece, wool, etc. But I have found Spandex to be the finest cloth for outdoor adventures. I have had amazing success with my gold lame spandex bodysuit, silver, dayglo, etc. Whether riding long distances on a bike, tromping through a misty...

Im looking for a denim vest to put patches on and i dont want one that has all the fake rips. Anyone know of a site or place i can pick one up?

Where the hell does everyone get all these cool skulls, bones? Many of us punks like to use bones in jewelry, or just in our art. Go searching. Train Tracks are the best place to find animal bones and dead animals. Look on stretches of tracks that are isolated, wooded and running through alot of...

I've been searching for inspiration for a logo next to the ACAB, for my ACAB DIY patch. I was thinking a pair of handcuffs with a pig tail. Also heard about bacon strips with a badge, but that sounds super hard to stencil... Any ideas?

Yo so if you guys ever have any worn out long johns you can make a badass neck gaiter/headband out of them. The thing I got on in my profile pic is made of some really old merino wool leggings with a blown out crotch/knees. I just cut them about a foot from the waistband so they look like booty...

So recently bought a pair of the old-fashioned one piece red red long undies with the ass flap. These ones are cotton wool blend. Inside layer is 100% cotton. Outside layer is 80% cotton 20% wool. Ass flap though is a vertical slit and not an actual flap. Works well. Open, squat and it stays...

If I don't wash them will they always smell like shit? Will they ever become one with the grime? Sorry if this It's the wrong area for this I'm new ha

Hi! Unfortunately my Van slip ons I wore at my last trip fell apart to the point they became unwearable (fabric ripped at the sides so that I slip out). I have a pair of almost new Chucks but they give me blisters when I walk in them for more than just half an hour or so. I'm wearing flip-flops...

So I love boots. Love 'em to bits. Haven't worn anything but boots for over a decade now ('cept when I take the dog around the block or something). I have so many pairs, but I only wore one for the two years I was hitching around Europe. I decided to make a vid just to show how impressively done...

Hi! Do you prefer used clothing over new clothing? I do. It's strange, since the first time I bought used clothes was only two weeks ago. :rolleyes: Went to an army store to get some army pants (BDU style) and the only ones available i liked were used. So I bought one. Was there a few times...

Inspired from the thread further down on this page (https://squattheplanet.com/threads/homemade-sandals-cheap-and-easy.19780/), I decided to try to make some sandals out of materials i could find in every dumpster in the simplest manner possible. Here's my alternate take on that thread...

1lb of paraffin wax and and 3/4 lb. of beeswax melted them together over low heat.. Apply with rough brush and blow dry into the fabric! There are a lot of diy recipes for making this kind of water proofing wax .

I saw some recent posts on how to slicky some boots/shoes whatever. The day may come when there are no stores to steal from and you'll need to make your own. May not be as nice as some footwear made for profit, but it is a good thing to be self reliant...

You can wrap them plenty of ways, depending on whether you want to be mistaken for a wannabe ninja: Or a terrorist/ninja turtle: A shemagh (pronounced "shmag") is a style of headwrap that originated in the Middle East. It's especially well suited to arid climates because it keeps you cool...

I'm going to the Andes and Amazon of South America for the summer, where weather ranges from -5 to +32 C depending. Mostly I've just traveled in North America and exclusively tropical places before. What can you recommend as far as pants go? I need something that will help me avoid mosquito...

So I've got a nice pair of timberlands, red leather. I want to polish them up, not so much for the shine but to protect the leather and keep them waterproof. What's the best option? I've got a lot of experience polishing combats but never a work style boot. Do they make a good "red" polish or...

I bought these boots on sale in like new condition for $45. I've been in boots for years, and these are by far the best boots I've owned....then again I don't ever splurge on them either so I guess I should say that these are the best boots around for under $100. -Extremely lightweight for a...

I've been looking at some all-leather logging boots, some with steel toe at various sporting goods stores and a couple places like Sears. http://www.gemplers.com/img/carolina-logging-boots-159866.jpg http://www.georgiaboot.com/products/9706/G7313/Georgia-Steel-Toe-Waterproof-Logger-Boot/...

What's the best color clothing to wear? Obviously super bright is not good.

I"m in the market for some new pants. I found a thread on STP talking about them so I looked into it and found a few pairs. I am having a little trouble figuring out which one to get. My needs are that they be warm in winter but wearable in summer. Mainly they need to block wind for when I'm on...
