I've been thinking that it could be a good idea to create a forum in which we can talk about "how to clean your patched vest/jacket"!
I believe the most of us have this problem, and others don't mind cleaning it! It's a personal choice how someone wants his kutte!
So, here you can post ways, tips, tutorials e.t.c., about this theme, to help each other!
It would be awesome to share your ideas in this forum!
Thank you for your time!
Keep it heavy, keep it true! \m/

If you really want to "clean" it I recommend you use something which is already on your Kutte (like piss or beer) and try to destroy all the other smells.
Yes agreed. Just kill any other smells with alcohol. As long as your battle jacket smells like booze then you're good in my eyes.
But if that doesn't sit well with you, well maybe a One Direction jacket may be a better option for you.
Ha Ha, only hacking on you dude......none of my jackets have really got to that really rank stage so far so I haven't got any real advice for you. I've made custom leather patches for all my jackets so far so washing is not an option for me so I'd have to get them all Dry cleaned if it came to that.
Dry cleaning may cost a little more but that probably would be the softest and less damaging way to clean your battle jacket.
I have some patches on it that the wash machine may destroy... and I have pins etc.. so it is trouble to take them out them put them again on it! The point of this forum was to discuss the ways that someone can clean his battle jacket... That's way I'm asking..
And I think this forum is quite funny for all of you right?
Paradise = pheremones. Different area I know, but I don't use deodorant ever and so many people tell me how fucking good I smell ahah, even after 2 days without shower.
Ya know pubeless girls (and pubeless guys!) are more susceptible to infection down there right? Forever bush worship.
Completely different subject, for u guys who dont use deadorant, do u use anything else? I dont use deodorant cause i dont like to have the chemicals and especially the aluminum on me plus i dont particularly like how it smells neither. I like to use alum instead which is a natural mineral stone kinda, just wash with water wet the stone a bit and rub it on ur pits or wherever :) is also really good when u shave cause it helps prevent shaving rash and if u cut yourself it stops the bleeding almost instantly, just a tip :)
I use one of those mineral stones too! Have done for about 7 years now. Also usually put a couple of drops of patchouli oil under my arms too, smells so good when it combines with sweat
Ah thats cool!!!
Alum is great, more people should use it, i found out about it cause my dad always had this stone laying around when i was a kid, so it kinda stuck.
Just cause we dont like deo and perfume and stuff doesnt mean we dont know a thing about smelling good hahaha :) tastes just differ and i think neutral smells better then chemical, im always thinking that people are trying to hide something when they use perfume and stuff.
Well nah it isn't really, pasta isn't a societal issue whereas body hair tolerance kinda is. There's this pervading social attitude that a woman has to be hairless, which is very damaging.
You are right about the girls, but the only way to become a hardrocker and a true metalhead is to stay as dirty as you can... hahahaha
What a stupid statement is this? Just because someone is a metalhead doesn't mean that he should smell like the farm with the pigs...
btw, I like clean girls....but some people prefer girls to look like Clayface (batman) from the smell and the dirt... ;)
I think it's just as retarded as the length of your hair determining how much "metal" you are.... I shave my head and I like to be clean.. Doesn't say shit about how "metal" I am haha
You're right!!! hahaha I have short hair and I am bathing every day! My habits (to be clea as much as I can) are the reason that I am not as much "metal" as all the other people how never clean their vests and never take a bath!
I don't care about being called a "metalhead". Just when I look the path that I am crossing I'll be one of the Nifelheim brothers.
But I prefer shaved head after this.
probably some kinda soap yeah, same kinda stuff like handwashing kinda stuff i think. i do think just water itself will work with soaking out a lot of the dirt.
never done it myself, but every time i see pics of people washing their vest or crust pants it is this way.
I spot clean mine usually, or I wash it by hand, I just use shampoo because I figured it would be more gentle. For little spots I just take a toothbrush (one just for this purpose), put some soap on it, scrub then I rinse the soap off, make sure you really get the soap out because if you don't that'll leave a spot too. Sometimes I just wash the sleeves all together, but I really avoid trying to get the patches wet, but if they get dirty I just do the same just more carefully. I prefer my vest to be clean because I tend to wear them around a lot, so I think smelling/having a dirty vest wouldn't be a very good thing to do. I've never really had a problem with smell before, so maybe letting it air out some would help? I dunno.
My vest doesn't smell, I wear it everyday for 2 months now (it's a new one)... Only the smell of my cigarettes stays on it! But I wan't it clean! I want to avoid any smell and stain! Your tips are very helpfull (the one with the toothbrush especially) so I will clean it this way first!
I am afraid because I have some handpainted patches on it but the guy that created the told me that they are tested in extreme conditions! So I believe that I won't have a big problem.... thanks a lot \m/ :)
There's already several topics about how to wash kuttes... the general consensus is don't, or just hang it out in the air/rain for a bit. Diluted vinegar + bicarb of soda work alright too for spot cleaning.
I want it clean, I don't really know why people want it dirty if they have a chance to clean it.... I don't like vinegar, its smell makes me sick hehehehe but why not? thank you too :)
If you dilute it with water and use a spray bottle the smell is less strong, leave it out in the fresh air for a couple of hours and the smell goes away. It's basically like febreeze, but totally natural and no horrible chemicals.
Use wodka. Apply it with an aerosol can and your Kutte will be sanitised and the smell will vanish. My GF works in a theater and they use this method, too ;)
And you can have a drink at the same time...
Hey man, I use deodorant twice a day, I don't have problem with my boby's smell, I am bathing everyday, but my problem is the sweat stains in the collars, the dirt generally and I want it to smell nice, and now like smoke from cigarettes, sweat etc... thank you too :)
Long story short:
Mine is over 20 years old and it did need a wash...
-Put in in an old pillow case.
-Tie it with a rubber band.
-Place it in the washer and wash on a low temperature program.
-Toss the pillow case (kiss it goodbye and take a pic for TSS)
-Hang your vest to dry outside.
The pillow case also protects your washer from studs.
No sweat. If the pillow case is large enough (which it should be) you can also tie it in a knot. Or use rope, some rubberbands aren't strong enough. If it's reeeeeeeaaaallly dirty you may need a second run.
You know what I did all these years? I have been sitting all night long taking off my patches, then put a vest into washing machine. And then sewed all patches back.
NO WAY! This is a torture! Except the fact that your patches may be destroyed from the sewing.... I hope that you sew them with an embroidery machine and not by hand! hahaha
If the main problem is smell, putting it in a plastic bag and then freezing it for about a day kills most of the bacteria that cause odors. Or if it's winter drape it out on the porch for a while.
I clean mine with car upholstery cleaner; Kills any bad smells and cleans the patches without danger of ruining them (Be careful which one you use, though, obviously don't use any with some kind of dye in them) and a little aftershave. I'm not a fan of the "Stink is good" either, hahah!

This forum is about smells.. I created a new one for "cleaning tips" :)

Ways to clean your kutte: You don't!!!
If you really want to "clean" it I recommend you use something which is already on your Kutte (like piss or beer) and try to destroy all the other smells.
HardNHeavyLeather on
hahahaaha you're right, but some people want it clean :)

just go for a walk in the rain

Dry cleaning may cost a little more but that probably would be the softest and less damaging way to clean your battle jacket.
HardNHeavyLeather on
I thought about the option of dry cleaning, it seemed good to me except the cost.. So i'll give it a try one day!
PForx on
You don't! Just soak it in beer like DoctorDeath said. Let it hang out in the rain if it really bothers you. Washing is for softrockers!!!
HardNHeavyLeather on
I didn't created this forum for people who can "share" ways to make my vest more dirty, but how to clean it.. thanks man
PForx on
Throw it in the washing machine then, it it that hard?
HardNHeavyLeather on
I have some patches on it that the wash machine may destroy... and I have pins etc.. so it is trouble to take them out them put them again on it! The point of this forum was to discuss the ways that someone can clean his battle jacket... That's way I'm asking..
And I think this forum is quite funny for all of you right?
PForx on
So... don't wash it?
HardNHeavyLeather on
I will find a good way to clean my vest frequently and become more softrocker.. ;)
HardNHeavyLeather on
Because of the perspiration this "dirt" contains many bacteria... So it is for hygiend purpose, not for something else...
PForx on
They're not exactly dangerous bacteria though.
HardNHeavyLeather on
Okay, I understand from your first comment that you don't have something important to say in this post, you don't need to prove it anymore :)

I don't have problem with short trimmed or bald pubed girls, I want them to smell like paradise! hahahahaha
Freyjawulf on
Paradise = pheremones. Different area I know, but I don't use deodorant ever and so many people tell me how fucking good I smell ahah, even after 2 days without shower.
Ya know pubeless girls (and pubeless guys!) are more susceptible to infection down there right? Forever bush worship.

The only bad bush is George Bush!!

Bush is nah , trimmed pube is YAY... (i'm joking)
If someone loves his mate, he never cares about the cms of the others pubes!! ahahahahaha
