Thinking about printing when I was in between jobs.
So I took one of my pieces into a vintage store that I reworked.
He had me put a couple more pieces together, and we did a drop over in Bellevue.
The closet.
He was the first person to really show me that I could do it.
And, since then, I've just been putting my best foot forward when I make a piece from scratch.
That's the closest way to get to somebody, which I don't think many people have realized this year.
Its a cool shirt.
And they're fascinated by it.
But I feel like when you wear something that makes you feel good, you're going to do a little bit better than if you wore something that you had got from a big box retailer.
You're you're investing in the vision.
My name is Hunter Reynolds.
I'm the maker of Lazy Coup People usually say Lazy Coup I like the car, but it's Coup Like like a coup de tau.
So how do you get these drawings that are from your your brain or on paper onto these clothes that you print?
I think the easiest way would just be to show you how I to do it.
With all of my designs.
It's either hand-drawn or photo experiments.
Yeah.
This one was hand-drawn with pencil, then pen, and then I took it onto my iPad to make it a little bit neater and nicer.
Yeah.
Then I'll get a transparency made, which is like a clear paper.
You expose it to UV light.
For so many seconds, depending on the unit that you're using and it hardens the emulsion and your design washes away.
A little off center.
I love it.
I did that because I have mine a little bit off centered.
Okay.
So I kind of want them to on the one side.
Oh okay.
Both on the one side or continuous kind of look to it.
Cool.
It's super dope.
There's denim.
Then electrical tape then masking tape.
So the goal with this thing is when I lock the screen down, it doesn't move at all.
Yeah I think it looks like it stands on business here.
Yeah.
Drag it down.
Yeah.
Just pull the ink back.
How firm are you pressing?
You do a pretty light.
You just want it to cover your design.
Okay.
So if you push a little bit harder.
There you go.
Oh, let's.
Let's see.
It looks good.
Cool.
But you can lift it up.
Yeah.
You got the design on the screen.
You clear it all.
Shoulders first.
You know what I do?
Shoulders first.
I kind of, like, lay it against the flash like you just did, and put it on the right on the tee.
Okay.
And you want to kind of move it back and forth because you don't want to just get the ink.
You want to get everything around the ink to see where it's at.
Definitely.
It's about 375 right now so its burning real hot.
So I'll adjust the belt speed.
Yeah.
And then as you can see, it's about 360-375.
Yeah.
And then you want to go over the corners, see everything.
The outside.
That's up here.
This is all you right here?
Heck, yeah.
Do you have any other pieces that you wanna show us?
Yeah.
Awesome.
So these are the pocket pocket pants, fully drafted, pattern print.
Yeah.
Drafted pattern print.
Cut and sewn.
All right.
Here.
Took, like, 5 or 6 days, but they fit my body perfectly.
I'm a 33, 34.
You can't really get that anywhere.
So I just had to make it.
If somebody was like, hey, I really want a custom pair of jeans.
Could you do it?
That's the goal.
Yeah.
Yeah.
This is awesome.
Yeah.
So these bad boys are 70s Lees.
I got them over at a place in Lawrenceville called Mellow and Sons.
He let me display a lot of my work in his store with the hand sewing.
This is so cool.
And, he had these, and I was like, I want a hands sew on those So the inside is really where it shines.
Wow.
It's all contour fabric from AutoFin.
All square patchwork fabric that I've stitched together.
Wow.
I want to be able to wear the outside and if they want the next day Same pair of pants.
Just wear it inside out.
wear them on the inside.
That is so cool.
I'm doing a lot of markets around the city in Pittsburgh primarily physical, but I do have some pieces online Working to get more.
Hunter, Thank you so much for having us.
Of course, I appreciate you.
So what's the Spotify wrap looking like?
My top genre was rap.
Mine too.
And even more serious question how many minutes did you listen to?
Oh, man.
You can't do that today.
How many minutes?
100,000.
