@tfar:

Right on! They could call it the OD shirt!

Are you trying to imply something here? And I am a fan of the Overdyed Chambray idea as well.

[Seul]

Overdyed chambray?.. Fuck yeah!..

[Dchill]

yes, please.

[daveo]

Black overdye on a regular chambray for me…

[hectic]

Not sure if we've done this before…

...but, knits: having just spotted a hole in the elbow of my Addict lambswool hoodie (only ahalf year old) it occurred to me that some IH work in the knit world would be nice...

Daveo, what do you mean by "regular chambray"? Do you mean a blue/white chambray. The chambray definition is a light cotton cloth in a 1:1 weave (the most basic weave) with the two threads in different colors, one of them being white (usually).

If the regular chambray would be a light blue, the black overdye would most likely totally subdue it. I'm not sure but it probably makes sense to have a darker base color and the overdye in a lighter color just to give a cast. So I would try it out but probably it would make more sense to start with a black/white chambray material and then do a blue overdye.

Well, technically, jersey material as used in t-shirts and sweatshirt is knit. But that's certainly not what you mean.

I can imagine some very strict ribbed knits in the IH line, too, though.

I was thinking indigo chambray with black overdye, similar to the recent SelfEdge collabo.

knits moved here..if u want knitted sweaters - tell Harakin-san about it in if Haraaki-san made it…

I can smell the wabi-sabi ! Overdyed chambray - such a brilliant idea

[deadendpro]

Piggy-backing on what till said, I am also wondering about the integrity of chambray indigo… Doesn't seem like the ideal pigment retaining cloth. However, what would happen if IH threw some of the TW's Permanent Indigo on a chambray and then overdyed that??? Now that is something I'd pay to see!

[Giles]

The Permanent indigo process is to add a coating to the denim after it has been woven.  I suspect that the coating which is designed to protect the indigo wil also resist overdying…G

Any chance there will ever be a permanent indigo TWHR01?

[deadendpro]

Ahhhh… Ok, I see. Thanks for that bit of light shed on my idea giles.

@IsaakM:

No plans at the moment Isaak, but the TW1220PI are a resonable alternative…G

How could I forget about that. Confused! The thread title is a bit ambiguous, maybe that's why. It sounds more like Haraki is proposing stuff and we decide if we were interested. But I guess that's not how it was meant. Please converge if you think that's better.

Very good title change. Now even I get it. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for the merger.

[Giles]

Yes, thanks Beats…G

Addict do a similar(ish) thing with Ts - http://www.addict.co.uk/products/cat/limited_edition

It's a cool idea.
