deepbass5 Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 I was looking for a photo to add here and came across this, me and the Mrs looking at our guitarist who just went into the biggest Les Dawson improvisation mid number. I am of course bollock naked behind there. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martthebass Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 (edited) I’ve built up a selection of highly dubious clothing over the 7 years I’ve been with the current band. Wifey no longer gets concerned when she sees me looking through women’s sparkly tops and tight flares.......

You apply them to the kind of fabric you would like your stars to be, in the size and shape you would like them to be, with a little extra around each edge that you fold under. That folded edge is the edge of your star. Then you apply this oldfangled technology called "needle and thread" to your stars just back from that edge and hey presto you have a shirt with stars on it. Cheers for that.

knirirr Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 I usually wear a shirt to match the bass (and Orange bass cab).

Someone who knows how to sew shouldn't be complaining about being given helpful advice after they complain about not being able to buy shirts with stars preinstalled in their high street, or about having the borax poked at them.

I’m a big fan of traditional blazers/jackets. They have lots of pockets to hold all sorts of stuff. I have a selection, mostly bought at charity shops. This is one of my more sober ones. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downunderwonder Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 I'd love a tonic jacket for gigs, if I could find one budgie style in the op shop before some other fashionista snaffles it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To paraphrase.... "They make these things called scissors. You apply them to the kind of fabric you would like your jacket to be, cut according to the pattern in the size and shape you would like it to be. Then you apply this oldfangled technology called "needle and thread" to your fabric pieces and hey presto you have a jacket." I hope this helps. And remember..... "Someone who knows how to sew shouldn't now complain about being given helpful advice after they complain about not being able to buy the jacket they want before some other fashionista snaffles it" You're welcome.

Jackroadkill Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 My stage clothes tend to be stuff that's now too knackered to wear on the farm and slightly sweary t-shirts. My mum says I'm cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimR Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 I have a pair of black jeans and a top that hang at the end of the wardrobe that I only wear for gigs. I have enough to worry about without having to be searching for something to wear when I should be loading the car. I've done that for so long in my established band that I'd forgotten what it was like to discuss what are we wearing to the gig. I found it an odd conversation when I started gigging with one of the new bands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 I tend to dress the same on and off stage but I go to Tescos dressed like I am playing a gig. I'm probably the other way around in that I have two or three more toned down outfits for work (essentially my main look dialled back about 30%).
