DIY: DOPE MEN SEW LATEST STYLE

DIY: McCALL’S PATTERN 7486 MODIFIED SWEAT SUIT

Swag up in my stylish DIY sweat suit…

Today I’m rocking my very first DIY 2 piece. I usually create one garment to photograph one at a time and spread them out throughout each month, but I’m getting pretty good and my speed is slowly increasing to the point were I can put time into a whole outfit.

I’m using McCall’s Pattern 7486 and I ended up making two different sizes for the hoodie and sweat pants. A sweat suit fit is typically not my everyday wear, but there’s always a time and place to rock cool streetwear such as this.

Socks – Gallant & Beau
Shoes – Stan Smith/Raf Simons Adidas
