Threadbanger: How To Make A Strait Jacket

For comfort , drink access and the ability to get out if your mates think they’re funny and leave you in it overnight, you can sew zippers into the inside of the sleeves. Make sure you put them in with the tooth feed on the inside and attach a ribbon to the toggle so that you can grab and pull to put your arm back inside without help. This also makes it easier to zip it open.

I'm Gonna use the torso of the extra shirt to make a mini skirt with a belt OOoOoOoooh yeah! It will be awesome...

Cool I so gotta make this for our haunted house doing oct.

Wow seeing you like that reminded me of your rebellious teenage years...GREAT JOB on the jacket and the portrayal of a madman!!! -Steve C

Ok i really want a black parade jacket! Like the one Gerard Way wears in the Music video the black parade. got any tips on sewing one? also you can watch the black parade video here -----> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDWgsQhbaqU thanks, Annie!

Very cool. They're serious about leather needles though! I tried sewing leather without one, and almost had the tip of my needle fly into my eye!

looks great, but I would never wear a costume that would keep me from holding a drink.

Great tut guys. I'm thinking about making this for my 15 year old son. The thing is it would be too tempting to leave it on after Halloween (lol).

Awesome idea! My roommate and her boyfriend were looking for a couple's costume, but there aren't many he said he would be "manly" enough in. When I saw this tutorial, I suggested nurse and crazy guy and they loved it! You guys are lifesavers. Now, if only one of THEM could sew, then I could get out of making it.... :)

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. My 11 year old son wants to be a crazy person for Halloween and I was trying to figure out how to make him and inexpensive straight jacket. This is FANTASTIC!

Wow, i love the skit at the begining, pure genious. haha let me put the sleeves on!! the strait jacket is a cool idea, i might have to try it =)

is it spelled strait jacket or straight jacket?

This is an amazing idea. I have a weird obsession for straight jackets and now i cant make my own. Iv kinda been in a slump lately, and seeing this inspired me to get out of that slump and make something. So i created a mini top hat. The best part, its completely no sew. Sorry im getting off topic. Anyways, i love the show and i love you guys.

I have an unnatural love for your show, but I was hoping I could make a suggestion. I think incorporating viewer submitted videos is such a great idea but I have a very hard time hearing what is being said. Do you think it would be possible for you to add subtitles for those of use are hearing impaired?

I love your show but I'm not diggin these cotton advertisements. Don't get me wrong, cotton is a great fabric but I think hemp is better suited for a lot of them. Maybe you should inform your viewers on the matter.

Oh jeez, I had a needle shatter on me once and a piece smaller than a pencil tip struck me on the forehead ): It sucked.

Love the intro...

Loved that skit at the beginning, haha. I needed a good laugh! But awesome tutorial!! I need to make a strait jacket for an event coming in May. *heart*

Hilarious crazy line Rob...and I liked the guy you cast for the male nurse. He was perfect for the role! Also lol when your needle broke. I think we need another blooper show! It's been a LOOONNNGGG while...

id love to see an episode on a dead bride costume!!!!!!!!!!!

I GOTTA FINISH THE HEM!!! LMAO...I love your humor :)

it will be a wonderfly freaky addotion to my closet

omg this was the funniest one eva! thanks for the tut im going as joker for holloween but i think ill make this just for the fun of it!

Oh my gosh - when Rob leapt out of the doorway and bashed against the wall I almost spit my coffee all over the place I was laughing so hard. Very cool Halloween tute. You guys rock, as usual!

lol so innovative! and i love how you guys come up with the coolest skits!!! bravo!

HOLY CRAP!, Great Crazy Guy Job Rob! Great Show!, Now I'm looking in my closet, I think I'm 8 Belts away! Also Why didn't you make the Crotch Strap? Cause that's what makes those jacket's work so well!

I usually don't comment (i know, shame one me!) but this episode was amazing!! So good. The intro was really cool, I actually got a little freaked out at one point! That's a really original (and easy!) costume idea... the best kind there is! Keep on rocking you guys, I love threadbanger so much it's not even funny!

totally awesome job!!

OMG i love whats CORRINE is wearing!!!! that headpiece looks tres gorge on her!

I should make one for the boy... he hates costumes, the crazy. But what is that awesome thing on Corinne's head? I need one!

Thanks! Thanks for something different. I am a little tired of the same old costumes.

This was so funny! Great intro.

Woah I've so wanted a straight jacket for halloween! It's like my un asked prayes have been ANSWERED! lol This was so the funniest beginning! JUST LET ME FINISH THE HEM! DIY OR DIE MAN! lol!!!!

Rob and Corrine you guys should totally make comedy skits...you guys are funny and informative!!! Thats why i love you guys to death! You GuyS Just RoCk!!!!!

Now I just have to figure out how to wear it, and still give trick-or-treaters candy...

hey i love the straight jacket. i used to have one in high school.... no comments.... any ways if you do the belt that comes up over the arms right you can actually escape from it, just for fun. LATER!

Hahaha that was really awesome! :D Poor Roob..i like the tut! Thanx

LMAO I totally made a straight jacket in the 12th grade. all I did was take an old cotton painter's drop cloth, traced the general shape of a t-shirt then made the sleeves really long. I made it a pullover so there's no easy escape. I had no straps so i just crossed my arms and got someone to tie my sleeves together. Just mess up your hair, make dark circles under your eyes and voila! My best costume next to my Sally costume.

i LOVED this episode, I was cracking up so much! Nice job.

AAAAAAHHHH you guys are sooo funny! One of my favorite intros. And the tute' awesome as well. XD

oh my god!!! that was hilarious!

Just let me finish the hem!

awesome acting rob! Loved your insane self!

poor Rob :( I am really glad the straight jacket is only a halloween costume. It does look awesome :) But um how to u hold the trick or treat bag?
