black metal clothing

[Tye]

Where the hell do those bands buy their cool clothing from? And don't dare anyone mention hot topic!

not very much into the black metal uniform myself, but what are you refering to? the spikes and leather or what?

 

[Lord SteveO]

The spikes are easy to find, most online metal clothing store sell 'em in some form. But If you want some extra spiky Dimmu borgir style stuff it'll cost you. Leather stuff is easy to find too, just do a google search for sites selling that type of stuf.

Yeah spikes are very easy to find. Leather on the other hand is not so. I search on google but all I get is marilyn manson or limp bizket crap. I want the real deal!

 

[Lord SteveO]

Try JJ's rock and pop. They sell a fairly large selection of metal/gothic clothing with some leather stuff. I can never find any really good sites though so if anyone knows of any i'd love to know of them!

I think some independent stores in London or NY have that kind of stuff.

as a last resort, you can ask the Rotting Christ guys where they get their clothes from (except Andreas, he doesn't wear that stuff). Mmm... Andreas...

Sandorf from Gates of Ishtar once asked Mikael from Dark Funeral where they got their grImwear at for me.............. and I can't remember anymore
It looks all homemade these days anyway... I don't know of a place for the leather though...

i think shops that sell s&m stuff and leather will do custom stuff as well, i bet that's where they got it.

but on the other hand, who would want to wear leather outfits like theirs? they look horribly dorky and i thought most people knew that a flabby body does not look exactly better in leather

Hell I dunno, I don't own or wear spiked gauntlets and greaves and what not. Some of the stuff BM bands come up with looks pretty cool, and more power to them to whoever wants to wear it. I used to want a gauntlet or something just because I thought it would be a neat thing to have, but I never got around to it like a million other things.

Not sure. I was planning on getting a cloak that my girlfriend was going to sew for me. That never happened though. Just get homemade stuff. Take up sewing or something

While on the subject: How about corpsepaint...where would that be sold?

Halloween or costume supply stores? as the vampire makeup...

or make your own at home.

Yep, sewing's a way to get unique clothes and good deals on stuff. I'm supposingly great at sewing, even if all the clothes I make are inappropriate. No black metal clothes for moi.

i've been painted on as a kid and then watery skin lotion instead of water was used together with water colours, worked pretty well as far as i can recall.
and no, it was not corpse paint i had painted but a swedish flag

Yes I think I seen a pic of the RC guys that you posted somewhere. Their clothing was very nice indeed.
