Yup, they're real, I have the same ones (although mine are less black 
).
EDIT: I didn't notice that there's no claw marks on the left knee area, that's odd, mine has them...
Check out these ones, they're less black, but they've got the claw marks. Were they done for more than one season?

I just spoke to Albert about this, he thinks they're legit which is the same conclusion I'm drawing. I think he mentioned about hearing how some pairs didn't have the claw mark...also the lighting is poor due to camera quality, and all the details are intact such as subtle knee whiskers, etc. They look pretty legit, and I REALLY want these...hmm will marinate for a little longer.

Just bought these, which ups my DH jeans count to 5
Thanks for the heads up on this auction, drexl.

The second was definitely better... maybe like 10-12 hrs. I just stayed in the last few nights (needed a break anyways) and just worked until late at night. Time flies when you're making something though
Here's the auction for those that are interested:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8342347140
I hope the title isn't misleading and won't get the auction taken down
I want the right people to find the auction, but at the same time not be a lie!
Okay so this is a quick little crash course on the patterning method used in creating a blood wound shirt (or sequin stitching in general).
The key to getting flat, uniform sequined patterns is the layering. Think fish-scales when you're sequining for the blood wound. You want the sequins to lay 1/2 on top of the ones below it for that layered look.
There are two approaches to this pattern. The first is the one I'm showing here which is actually the slightly trickier one.
First step. If you are using faceted sequins, you want to put the sequin on the needle so that the facets face AWAY from the needle tip.
Placement of the needle after the initial push through the material is key. You want it to be about the radius of the sequin. This way your entrance hole and your exit hole match up closely to the top and center hole of the sequin. This allows the sequin to lay flat against the shirt/material. When you've done the first one, tie it off in the back, but keep the long length of thread attached to it. You will use this same thread to "run" as many sequins as you can before you tie it off again.
The needle placement after the first sequin (and every other) is crucial. You again want it to come up UNDER the first sequin since you want to layer your sequins. Be sure to reinsert the needle in that radius length mentioned above.
So here are a few of them done after those first two. you can see the layering and see that they all sit pretty flat against the material.
The key thing is to make sure that the thread is tight (not overly tight,or the shirt get's puckered and the sequins don't sit flat) so that you don't end up with loose sequins that kind of flop around. This can only be understood through practice.
Also, with the tubular beads, the concept is the same. Stitch one in and tie it off as a startoff/anchor. Then do your bead columns (vertical rows of 3-5 of the small glass beads, 1-2 of the longer ones like in the real shirt) this way. I've found it to be MUCH easier to do all the bead columns before sequins. Do as many as you can to make up the body of the 'wound". Not only do they do this in the real one, you actually have to put in less sequins this way. You end up using sequins to "fill in the blanks" which is astronomically easier. Be sure to do your tubular bead columns asymmetrically and space them or clump them. You want it to look irregular.
The teardrop beads... easy enough. double loop through the hole on the top and tie it off. Just be sure to keep it slightly loose so the drop hangs down instead of jutting out at a 90 degree angle because it was tied too tightly.
I have been sketching out the pattern i want in each shirt (you can see they differ somewhat between my white and black tees) with Crayola Washable Crayons. It stays on the shirts better than chalk and still washes out with just cold water leaving no stains even on the white shirt.
So that about covers it... after you get the technique, then it's just patience and a lot of thread, sequins, beads.
Let me know if you have any questions. I'm happy to help!

I...love...you. Awesome.
What kind of store would I find most of the sequins/beads used?
I'm gonna start on my Tiger Of Sweden white dress shirt after my midterms are over (although I should probably practice on a tee first...).
drexl said:
hahaha glad I can help!
I would definitely recommend doing it on a tee first for practice before going all out.
I found all the beads and sequins needed at a bead store near me called Beadworks. Also I went to Pearl art supplies (a chain art store) and they had all the sequins and tubular beads that I was looking for as well.
The materials are very low priced. It's the manual labor involved hehe
