Last time around, here at my teensy-weensy corner of the world-wide-web, that I lovingly refer to as the blog-a-wog-a-thingy-thang (among other nick-names for it!)---- I shared some images of my most recent couple of mad-scientist-type-customizations of 'Batman-related' play-things! This post, I'm focusing on a couple of other items, that I've been pretty heavy into 'personalizing' over the years! That would be t-shirts and caps.
Before 'the BIG move', in the early part of last year--- 'ol Loydster had nearly a closet-full of t-shirts! The last count, not long before our packing-up things and moving out of the former abode---- was well OVER 40 'T's!! Yes, I now will freely admit that's a pretty CRAZY-HUGE amount of 'casual-wear' for just ONE guy to have!
So, some 'thinning-out' of the 'T' population had to be done! I knew that, except for a relatively small number---around 15 or so, tops---MOST of the rest of the 'T's in my collection would have to either go into storage, or just go away! Yes, even some of the one's I'd customized or 'personalized'! Even though they were (and are!) a small percentage of the 'T' -collection, it was STILL tough, deciding which ones had to go, and which ones I just could NOT part with!
So.... some of the 'T's in the pics below, are no longer around. BUT--- I still have photographic proof, of all of the loud-and-proud geekiness!------

A more recent addition! I added some simple iron-on lettering to this one (as well as the one below!), to make it a bit more 'personalized'! |

NO guessing as to what I'm a BIG fan of, right??? |
Much the same as with the 'T' collection, a great number of the caps you'll see in the pics below are either in 'deep-cold-storage', or have been given away. Some have even been 'parted-out' and bits and pieces of them survive on other caps!
The ONLY caps in this group, that started out with a patch / image already on them--- are the 'Stooges cap and the Bugs Bunny cap.(though they WERE customized too-- with extra painted trim, stripes, etc....) The rest were put together from images I found elsewhere (old calendars, pages from magazines, etc....) and glued onto the caps. I then painted the trim, flames, scallops, etc... onto them with either fabric paint or simple acrylic paints!
Also, like the 'T's above, the caps never were meant for heavy-sweating or to be 'work-hats'! these are 'occasional-wear' items too!----
I sure hope you've enjoyed this little journey into another aspect of my little crazy-geeky-nerdy-habit of 'personalizing' / 'customizing' stuff! This time, with some of my items of clothing!
I simply believe, if you REALLY enjoy SO MUCH of all of the WAY-COOL classic pop-culture that's out there, why NOT be as loud-and-proud as you can be about your love for it! Nobody's EVER had to even guess about what the 'ol Loydster's the most into, and that's for definite and for SURE!
Stay safe, sane, and HAPPY everybody! See you next month!
