Hello metalheads,
recently i decided to finally make my battle jacket. I got everything what i need - needles, thread, patches and of course, denim jacket. But here's my first problem: i have no idea how to rip off the sleeves without using scissors (i don't know if scissors are allowed in the rules of making a battle jacket). Can you post me some tutorial of something? I'm browsing for videos in YouTube and i cannot find anything :(

Battle Jacket rule number 1: There are no rules! I would say use scissors just to be sure you don't rip a part of the jacket you don't want ripped.

Just use a chainsaw to rip them sleeves off!
But honestly now, just use a good scissors and you're good to go. Be careful, cut along the seam.

If you start the cut with scissors close to seam on the side of the sleeve, i would then carefully rip the rest of the way for a raw edge

You have to chew them off with your teeth, otherwise not trvecvltocvlltmadness

There is no rules. Do whatever the fuck you want, it's your kutte!!! Kutte means cut off!!! Get them off anyway you want, scissors, seem picker from craft shop, knife, box cutter.
Just don't run with scissors, shits not cool and if you stab someone ya fucked.

After nine kuttes I guess I know something.

Pffffft....nine cutties I've got 25 + cutties. Run with the scissors dude. What's the worst that could happen...you lose a testicle or two...no biggie.
But seriously, if you want a frayed look cut about 2 cm (i don't know what the fuck that is in non metric terms) out from the seam then throw it in the wash (before you add any patches) and the edges will all fray out.
Or as suggested above ...rip the fucker apart with your teeth. Personally I'm not that hardcore but each to their own...haha.

Hahahaha, still blows me away each time you post a new one mate! Fuck that would hurt!!!
Yeah plenty of ways to do it, hell I bet some store would sell them pre done, people get around in torn jeans because apparently that's fashion. Dumb cunts.

let it rip off by wolves - but be sure not to wear the jacket during ripping

That would do the trick

I guess that wouldn't work with a Levi's jacket, right?

Sometimes you can put a mushroom in each armpit , walk into a forest and wait,very quietly ,until wood peckers swoop in and quickly remove the sleeves on the jacket.it is a little known loophole in the rules, look under clause 422 / C. If woodpeckers do actually do the job, in thanks you should return within a few weeks and place a blank white sheet of A4 sized paper on the spot on the forest floor. Laugh if you want ..it worked for me!

Hahahaha bloody Slayer mate you legend.

An archaic method, but still very effective.

Can someone please forward a copy of the official rulebook to miro

OK, i see a lot of funny guys in here, especially from Germany, but never mind. Thank you DeathRipper for serious answer, the rest of this thread is pseudo-funny bunch of bullshit.

You really can't take a joke from people on here? XD? You could've expected that kind of answers on a question that's not to be taken serious. Who cares how anyone would cut of sleeves. There exist no rules of making a battlejacket, caring what others think of doing it correct and 'by the rules' reeks of trying to hard to fit in.
Save yourself the trouble thinking too much about this and just buy yourself a sleeveless.

Just wear the jacket often enough and hard enough that they fall off: it’s the only way

Dude cut them with scissors and let that shit fray

I rip my denim sleeves off one leg at a time, just like everybody else ! ! !
hordkhen on
Hehe it's a play on an old redneck American saying, he's like us, he puts his pants on one leg at a time!
But I prefer I put my women's panties on just like you, one leg at a time!!!!
Mastercutor on
I've put a little thought into this and if you want to have that frayed effect right after you cut those sleeves off, you have to use a serrated knife. Every single denim type is different, so at first you should try it on a different part of the sleeve.
I already tried that on some old jeans I was repurposing for a sale and it came out great.
Another way of doing this is --> Hydrochloric acid!
Just pour it very slowly in front of the sleeve seam, which is needed to keep jackets fit the same. You can simplify this by using a syringe, which should also minimize a possibility of acid getting into your eyes.
Yeah, you'll go blind in a few seconds without a proper treatment, so be careful if you actually choose this method.
Nater90 on
Shit damn acid!! Brutal haha.

I cut the seams on the arms themselves first ( They're as tough as old leather on a Levi's jacket!) and carefully ripped along from there, so I didn't damage the rest, worked just fine. Or just use proper fabric shears, much easier
