Hey everyone! This time, I painted two leather/faux leather jackets that I thrifted at Goodwill! In this video, I talk you through the materials, the design process, and the painting process (complete with tons of very satisfying time lapse painting haha).
Both jackets will be available for purchase on my website reissued.store
I hope you enjoy this project!

If only KZfaq analytics could capture the fact that I watched 95% of this video with my mouth gaping open. It is infuriating how talented you are. Love both, but the black and white one has an effect on the eye that edges it out as my favorite. I'm inspired to take acrylic paint to one of my leather jackets, but would like to know if you'd be able to condition/clean the leather if it has paint on it. I'm assuming no?

@REISSUED 3 жыл бұрын

Hahah maybe KZfaq analytics noticed. Thank you so much! Regarding cleaning, yes... I expect that cleaning and conditioning the painted parts of the jacket will not be possible. However, perhaps the interior and non painted parts still could be. And that paint is easily wiped down 👍🏻

Use heat gun or hair dryer on high to fully cure the paint on leather. Then go all over w/a small amt of coconut oil to seal everything in & condition. It will also restore that nice sheen the jacket came with.

awesome! i would suggest mixing a fabric softening solution with the paint so it sits on the material better or just use fabric paints and sprays they look less stiff than acrylic and cordless airbrushes are good for this kinda thing. masking off the zips is always a good idea too ;)

@danaventura5998 Жыл бұрын

It might be helpful to print the design out in color, (tiled if you don't have access to an oversize printer). then use a camera lucida to "project" on the jacket, (actually your retina), making placement much easier. By keeping the printed hard copy reproducing the design onto something else is is much faster. I keep all my idea stuff in 8.5" x 11" sheet protectors, folded in this case.

The bold colors with the pinks, and blues in the jacket on the right stand out.

To save the pants, you would have had to peel them completely and then repainted them with fabric paint. You can't save fake leather once it goes.

This is my 1st time watching and I loved what you did. ❤️ I bought a thrifted leather jacket for $5.00 specifically to see if I could do something like this. I'm not anywhere near as talented as you but your video gave me hope that I can paint it however my mind sees it and maybe it'll be decent. I'm going to watch the next 1. 😊

@REISSUED Жыл бұрын

So exciting! I’d love to see how yours turns out. My advice is definitely to plan out your design either digitally or in a sketch so you know exactly where to place the paint. Also, be sure to watch Part 2 since I cover more about prepping and sealing the jacket (for genuine leather). This is super important to keep the paint from peeling. Best of luck!

Getting stuff to stick! Thanks for the vid. I’m in the midst of a new iteration of myself, and starting a business with the logo on leather with paint is my concern. It looks like, Prep with rubbing alcohol, acrylic, you can use a heat help it along if need be. There is a respect for the formerly worn leather that I have that I don’t want to screw up. When is a leather jacket really dead? I get it and I want good outcomes for paint durability. You can be punk or a slob. I don’t want to be a slob, I guess.

With it painted does the paint makes the garment harden? Maybe I used too many coats when I'm painting on my garments and the material comes out very hard and stiff to wear? Any suggestions on this would be great also I use angelus fabric paint.

@REISSUED 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Van! The acrylic paints that I used in this video are pretty flexible when dry - kinda like a vinyl texture. I did have some issues with the real leather jacket cracking which I address in my Painted Leather Part 2 video (more of a preparation issue than a paint issue). Are you painting on leather? Whenever I paint on canvas or cotton clothes, the paint definitely gets pretty stiff. In that case, I would recommend mixing the paint with a textile medium to help it soften.
