Zeppelin clothes project

[Zeppelin]

Decided to have a go at modifying clothes having found it very difficult to find things I like and can wear. Most mens clothing seems to be fairly dull and uninteresting.
First thing I'm having a go at is a hoodie, I've started with a plain black zip front hoodie and sewn two strips of black fabric tape with eylets in from the front of the hood over the top and down to the neck then laced them together. Planning to do the same down both arms. Current issue is all the eyes are coming out the fabric. Am looking at gluing them in, thought about sewing them but I really like the look of the silver eyelet on the black fabric plus there are 40 eyelets on the hood now and sewing would take an age.
