CLOSE MATCHES:

Left: Vintage 90s Nike Men’s Blue & Gold Windbreaker.

These are easier to find and look kind of similar. The Nike logo should be easy to cover up with a Yellowjackets patch like the one Misty has.

Right: Game Sportswear “Chesapeake Jacket.”

These look really close to Misty’s jacket though they can be hard to find without random logos on them (belonging to various sports groups).

Left: Charles River “Championship Jacket.”

These look closer to Misty’s jacket than the Nike one but are hard to find.

Right: Vintage 90s Boathouse “Full Zip Windbreaker Jacket”

These have the same problem with the logos as the Game Sportswear jackets but seem to be more common. A lot of them with sports logos also tend to have words on the back which would be more difficult to cover up. These jackets are probably the closest to Misty’s jacket though.

Speaking of Boathouse, their website has a feature where you can design a custom jacket which would help you avoid the pitfalls of buying one of the vintage jackets. Plus their “Men’s Victory Full-Zip Windbreaker Jacket” can be made to look really close to Misty’s jacket. Above are two of my attempts. The one on the right shows how you can even customize it to have the “Equiptment Manager” and Yellowjackets Logo embroidered (you have to be able to provide the logo). But ultimately these jackets are the priciest of all the options unless you know a lot of people who want them as the jackets are cheaper in bulk. I’ve linked the Boathouse Website below if you want to check it out.

All the other jackets I’ve mentioned in this post you’d have to look on sites like Ebay or Poshmark for but don’t worry. I’ll be diying the “equipment manager” and Yellowjackets logo to recreate Misty’s jacket sometime this month so stay tuned for that!

do you know what kind of glasses teen misty wears? like the frames?

From looking at these reference photos, Misty has clear glasses with tortoiseshell sides and a metal bridge (but they don’t have nose pads). I could not find the the exact ones Misty wears but here are some Close Matches.

The ones on the left are V.W.E. “Vintage Inspired Metal Bridge Clear Lens Glasses (Clear, Clear)”

Link:

The ones on the right are from the brand Fossil with the glasses being called “Fossil 7085.”

I don’t really know anything about ordering glasses online (while I have glasses I always get them from a physical store) so I’m not sure which sites are legit but lots of them have glasses in these styles. Because of this, I’m also going to assume physical glasses stores will have this kind of style as well so if you want to find more similar glasses you could probably look there as well.

HOW TO MAKE MISTY’S EQUIPMENT MANAGER JACKET (Part 1):

Supplies:

* Gold/Navy Windbreaker

* Printer

* Cardstock

* Colorfast White Fabric Sheets (these work for Inkjet printers but you can use any other fabric sheets that work in your printer).

* Heat ‘n Bond

* Black Fabric Paint

* Thin Paint brush

* Exacto Knife/Box Cutter

* Clear packing Tape/ Scotch Tape

Optional:

* White Thread

* Needle

Step 1: Aquire your jacket.

It’s supposed to resemble the jacket Misty wears so you can either try to find one on your own or look at the close matches I found for the coat Here. I bought mine off eBay but if wanted to you could probably sew one or buy one brand new etc. It is important to do this first because everything else builds off of this step.

Step 2: Size Patch Designs.

You can use the photos I provided below or your own but you’ll need to paste them into a word document. From there you can size them up or down to reach the size that you like for printing.

Depending on the size of your jacket your patches can be bigger or smaller, but once you’re happy with the sizing you can then move onto the next step.

Step 3: Print Patch designs

The “Equipment Manager” design is to be printed on cardstock to make the stencil sturdy. If you had to you could also print it on normal paper but you’d have to be more careful with it and it might not work as well.

The Yellowjackets logo is to be printed on the fabric sheet because it will be turned into the patch. Follow the instructions on the fabric sheet container to make sure you print it right.

I found it helpful to make a mark on a regular sheet of paper before I printed it so that I could see which side the design gets printed on as that’s very important to know for when you put the fabric sheet in the cassette.

Step 4: The Equipment Manager Patch

* Once you’ve picked the size of patch you like best coat the front and back of the design in clear packing or scotch tape. This step is important so that the paint doesn’t seep into the paper and potentially create unwanted smudges on the jacket.

* Once you have the tape in place you can cut out the letters with an exacto knife (I didn’t have one so I used a box cutter but either one works fine). For letters containing holes (e,p,a,g, etc) you could either leave a little strip to hold the holes onto the outside of the stencil (which you’d have to paint in after the rest is painted) or just remove them entirely and free hand the inside lines of the letters.

(Also it’s a good idea to cut this on something that is thick so you won’t cut through the surface you’re working on. I used a sewing mat but thick cardboard can work too).

* Once finished it should look something like this:

* Before you paint the design on it’s a good idea to put the coat on to determine where you want the design. I based the position of mine on where the words were in relation to Misty’s collar so the letters are in a similar spot.

* From here you are ready to paint the design onto the coat using the stencil. Make sure you push the stencil down when painting otherwise paint can get underneath it and mess up the design.

Also, don’t move the stencil around when painting (I taped mine down to combat this), keep it in one place and don’t lift it up until you’ve finished.

Something else to keep in mind is not to gob the paint on near the edges because it can smear underneath (especially if you don’t have the stencil pushed down enough).

* Once you’ve finished painting the design, let it dry down before you remove the stencil so you don’t smudge the paint.

* Once the stencil is removed you can go in and clean up the edges of the design. The lines won’t be super sharp and you may have some small smudges so you may need go in and fill it in to make it look nicer. I found a small brush very useful for this step.

Before:

After:

(if you’ve got the black paint in spots you can’t fill in you might want to get a yellow fabric paint that matches the jacket to paint over it).

* You’ve now finished this side of the jacket!

In the next part I’ll be using the heat n bond to attach the Yellowjackets logo patch to the jacket (an possibly using thread to seal the edges of the patch but I’ll have to see if I can get it done). If you’re doing this for Halloween and I don’t get the second part out before then you can look at my Letterman Jacket post for essentially a tutorial on how to use the heat n bond for patches.

If you have any questions about my process feel free to ask! I’ll work on getting the next part out soon!

AND THE LAST OF THE BAD KIDS!! KRISTEN FREAKIN APPLEBEES MY GIRLLL. would you believe me if i said this was genuinely the most difficult of the designs for me lmao

i’ll be posting a full lineup, as well as my designs from when I was aboult halfway done with freshman year :3

Some notes-

curly hair kristen is very important to me. right now it’s in that kind of awkward Growing Out From First Undercut stage but she’s making it work. got her septum impromptu pierced by Tracker and it’s a miracle it isn’t infected yet.

she’s sliced and diced all of her old tiedye shirts and converted them into tanktops and croptops, etc. I do like her question mark staff from the official design, so I kept it.

she’s burly! she’s actually probably the most practically Strong of the group after gorgug. she could toss Fabian over her shoulder and run no problem. they have solved problems this way before. pov you are sitting in the augefort lunch room and you hear an explosion in the distance and watch Kristen Applebees full sprint run past Riz under one arm Fig under the other.
