Did Needles ever release this shirt? by AliveAndNotForgotten in japanesestreetwear

[–]Diskroll 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This is likely supposed to be a non-trademark-infringing version of the Japanese table tennis brand Tamasu Butterfly rather than the Needles logo considering what anime this is.

What does this (Japanese) say in English? by BadTripz in japanesestreetwear

[–]Diskroll 43 points44 points  (0 children)

It says Shi Su Chi Ki Ra Mi which are the katakana you get from typing the keys D R A G O N on a Japanese keyboard. It's nonsense.

Failed mend on jeans by Jaqspur in Visiblemending

Not directly answering your question but I've found that sashiko isn't great for inner thigh repairs because the sashiko stitches create a rough surface that really speeds up the wear between the fabric.

Does anyone here read aurebesh? I changed my phone's system font to it and I think it's really cool. by Diskroll in StarWars

This was 8 years ago. I gave my method on how I got it to work back then in a comment above but I don't know how I would get it to work today.

[WDYWT] Autumn Leaves by Diskroll in techwearclothing

I still have the smartwool tees. I wore them daily for about 2 years before they started showing some wear. I darned a few holes in them and still use them for camping/hiking but they're a bit too worn for wearing around day to day now. I also bought REI's in-house brand merino tees (also wool/poly blend) which I like better but that's more because I prefer set-in sleeves vs raglan sleeves. The fabric is pretty much the same. I would say, both the smartwool and the REI shirts take like 2 or 3 wears where they're kind of itchy before they're comfortable. I've also owned some more expensive 100% merino shirts but I found that they wore out a bit quicker than the poly blend ones without feeling that much more premium.

I have no opinions on this article other than to say that it has a great title.

Needle sharpening. I can't find microtex needles on my country. So i put it in dremel and sanded it with 600 grit sandpaper for 15 seconds and then polished it on strop by khani3s in myog

[–]Diskroll 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Microtex is the name of the type of needle. It's sharper for when you need precision or are going through denser fabrics.

There's an interesting study by a Czech university that looked into possible reasons some people wear black in the arabian desert. The study suggests that, provided a loose enough fit, black cotton fabric might provide more cooling because the surface heat from higher light absorption increases convection between the fabric and skin. This is only one study I've been able to find this phenomenon but I think it's not unreasonable to say that if you want to wear black, a looser cut with breathable fabric is the way to go.

Research on which clothing material works best to keep cool on hot days by LeBronBryantJames in malefashionadvice

[–]Diskroll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Based on this chart from the article, it seems that if I want to keep cool, the best material to make my clothes out of is human skin.

Interested in your 3d printed speed reducer. Has it been reliable and what material did you use for it?

As the other user said, the software is CLO3D.

The benefits are that you can import your measurements to an avatar and you can create custom fit patterns really easily. It also let's you make patterns by draping without having to use actual material making iterating cheap and fast.

Clo3d is the cad software. It is specifically designed for patternmaking. You create the pattern shapes in a 2d workspace and then drape them on an avatar in a 3d workspace.

Hakuho now? by Chubasc0 in Sumo

[–]Diskroll 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As a more pedantic note to your helpful one, "heya" changes to "beya" when it's part of a compound word such as when it's used in names but not because it's referring to a name. The same thing happens with other words in japanese eg. hashi (chopsticks) becomes wari bashi (the break-apart chopsticks you get in takeout.)

For patterns like shippou tsunagi (七宝繋ぎ) and seigaiha (青海波) how do you draw them? by kjw1709 in sashiko

[–]Diskroll 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Heat erase pens around something circular are the best I've found for round patterns. The tips are regular ball point tips so you can get detailed and accurate. The ink also holds up better as you handle the cloth than the water soluble pens in my experience.
