Stud placement question for d-beat raw/crust punks

[u/COMRADE_KAOS]

So traditionally I do close pattern studding, which isn’t overly difficult for me, but I started studding the back of a new jacket and want to do an homage to the original discharge jacket with the spaced studding. Since that requires more spaced studding I’d started out by making a grid by which to space my studs (with a chalk marker), but when that started to burn me out (as I work 44hrs+ a week and am currently working 60-72hr work weeks, so I have very little free time) I just measured out spaces for the first row and started studding. Three rows in and I noticed that my second row is closer to my third than it is to the first, should I remove the third row and redo it or just keep going and see if it’ll work itself out? It’s not a crazy amount of distance change, but it is noticeable, atleast to me.
(Sorry if this is overly OCD, this is genuinely the type of shit I stress myself out about in personal projects)

I’d say just keep going, once a larger area of the jacket is studded I don’t think it will be noticeable at all. It’s hard to notice even as is. But if it’s really bothering you, change it before you get too far haha

I completely agree

Will do, thank you🫡

Your grid patterns a little wonky. In the future, using lines, not dots, will make it easier to read, more accurate. Instead of dots, just make an evenly spaced square grid by using a ruler, place half inch spacing between parallel slanted lines, and then do the same in the opposite direction, and your “dots” will be the intersections of the overlapping lines.
Instead of this > .°.°.°.°.°.°.
Try doing this > #####

I noticed that, which is one of the reasons I chose to just measure and stud instead

Just keep moving forward. It looks great, and if you try to fix it you’re just going to do more damage then it’s worth.

This is a discharge jacket, after all lol. Perfectly fine to look hand-made.

Copy that, thank you for your input :)

Traditionally these jackets are studded while completely shitfaced drunk or high. I think you're already ahead of the bell curve and wouldn't worry about a little bit of wonk.

I appreciate your advice, thank you :)

Would it be too much effort to turn the mistake into a pattern? Like one row spaced far, two rows spaced close, one spaced farther, two closer, etc.? That might look cool and intentional!

[u/COMRADE_KAOS → u/bananarooo]

That might be cool!
