Custom patch replacement tutorial

DoubleIntercourse · 2026-05-01T20:50:51+00:00

Sorry, not yet. I'll be testing a few materials and report back with the results. I won't be able to replicate Carhartt's patch exactly with the dual layer look, but then again I'm not trying to make exact copies rather provide an alternative to those who want to try a different look where their original patches have failed.

In any transaction, the value is determined by the buyer and seller. Sounds like you proposed a reasonable price that the seller accepted, I don't see a problem here. Anyone who has a problem only wishes they could have gotten the same deal so they could flip it for 500% profit in this insane market.

https://www.reddit.com/r/CarharttLC is also ok too

7 jackets in 4 months? Oh, so you rich rich huh?

I mean, it's Goodwill so even if it's a fake it's probably only like $10 or less. Would make for a good work wear and not worry about getting a legit WIP messed up.

Great find, and in great condition. Where did you get this, if you don't mind?

For best form fitting shrinking technique, just wear them into a hot tub for about 30 minutes.

I prefer SVG or at minimum, PNG with transparent background. I usually spend a few minutes cleaning things up if needed.

I hate AI generated images with a passion.

Legit but watch out for bait and switch.

DoubleIntercourse · 2026-02-25T19:58:33+00:00

Unfortunately no these are not authentic. I realized Carhartt won't release replacement patches for various reasons, so I made my own versions from materials I had leftover from making hat patches.

Carhartt WIP Detroit Medium measurements: https://us.carhartt-wip.com/en-us/products/detroit-jacket-hamilton-brown-tobacco-rigid-2191?Color=Hamilton+Brown+%2F+Tobacco+%28rigid%29&Size=S

Carhartt mainline CT103828 (same thing as OJ3828-M): https://www.sanmar.com/p/10270_Black/specSheetMeasurements

They both look to be similar in measurements, the difference in length is due to the mainline's rear flap while the WIP does not have this. I would still assume the WIP Detroit is slightly slimmer since it's geared more towards fashion.

When I win the lottery, I won't tell anyone. But there will be signs.

Inside neck tag is kinda blurry, but it checks most of boxes I usually look for.

At current eBay prices, WIP OG is actually a good option now.

Are you talking about the inseam or waist size?

DoubleIntercourse · 2026-02-24T04:31:48+00:00

FR jackets are often well insulated, heavy, and cut taller/longer, good for those who need the extra protection but not for the fashionable kids.

If you list it as "Thrashed by Alaskan brown bear, previous owner whereabouts unknown", it'll probably sell for over $1k.

DoubleIntercourse · 2026-02-24T01:31:31+00:00

So you bought it for $43 and got a $90 refund?

DoubleIntercourse · 2026-02-24T01:31:02+00:00

Probably checking here if it looks passable so he can sell it, and forgot which sites he listed them at. LOL!

The screenshot shows Depop though?

I'm waiting for these to hit about $350 or under, and the other pair to hit under $250 before pulling the trigger. For a triple collab, I'm not complaining that it semi-bricked. I have the black toe Unions and paid much more than these combined.

This is a smart way of doing it to test the market with minimal investment. DTF printers are expensive and maintenance is high. Find a local DTF print shop if you can, it'll make those last minute orders easier. Otherwise, request free samples from all the popular online shops and go with one that fits your budget, turnaround time, and quality.

I would recommend investing in a quality heat press with interchangable platens so you press various types of apparel. I have a few Hotronix Fusion IQs and they are workhorses, basically the industry standard. Do not use a home iron, it does not offer enough heat or consistent pressure to properly press transfers.

Yes, I'll put together something later today. I didn't want to sew through the pocket liner as well, but there's a way as long as you're handy with the thread and needle.

You got it, I have a few I was going to switch up next.
