I call it clothes hacking. Taking an old item of clothing and updating its look with some details (new buttons, a monogram, patches, etc). Here’s a cool example of clothes hacking. For Valentines day a girl stitched hearts and love notes in her man’s shirt pockets. Hidden to the world, but known to them.

I’m in the process of hacking two sweaters with buttons and thread. More info to come.
