'A more exclusive version of Super-Wax, rich in colours and bubbling, and printed with a gloss finish. The most defining (and beloved) feature of a Super-Wax is its duo-colour “bubbling” print effect...
...Grand Super-Wax is a luxurious twist on the original, using Vlisco cotton satin. Grand Super-Wax is made using a highly-unique wax printing technique unlike any other in the world: every piece is created with an unequalled and extraordinary level of care and precision.
First, a design in liquid wax is printed on cotton satin. A base dye such as indigo soaks into the cloth around the wax, leaving behind a deep, intense colour. The magic of the ‘wax-breaking’ during the printing process results in a large, irregular pattern of vein-like bubbles throughout the design.
One single piece of Grand Super-Wax goes through an average of 27 total step before it receives a final gloss finish, and a select number of Grand Super-Wax fabrics are covered from edge-to-edge in transparent glitter.'
See my previous reels to see how this jacket started, and then faded after washing. A true lesson in using the right materials for your means!
It turned out to be a happy accident because all the original stamps left a ghost or shadow effect under the re-stamping. It looks so cool!
I named this the Rider jacket for the bicycle, which is a sentimental symbol for me. It was my first taste of freedom, my first independent transportation, my first RCHP b-side (IYKYK). What does a bicycle mean to you?
1 yard of “Paisley Rats” fabric (the large-scale black and white version) was bought by Marc on June 20th, 2023. Marc chose to have the high-contrast design printed on Recycled Canvas. The popular paisley fabric, designed by Patrick Moriarty, will be on display in a major new exhibition in a museum in 2024.
