IH-2527J - Brown Cotton Duck Riders Jacket
-
Doug, Any possibility of seeing some flicks of the damage?
-
Words cannot describe how pissed off I am right now
I feel you. Sorry brotha that looks like no fun at all. I would try hectic's recommendation on trying to dye it. I do not have much experience with this either but I am sure someone on here is (Tfar)…
-
Maybe check out Dharma Trading Co. for dye info?
I have had similar problems with the 634SR's and the SEXIH07BK's. I will probably try to airbrush the SR's out. Kind of cheesy, but I think it will work. Temporarily, I've hit the SR's up with some Chartpak Ad makers to knock the really light stuff down so it's not super-obvious. I'm not expecting anyone to be able to get a really macro view of them, so I'm not too concerned about its hokeyness. I will probably re-dye the BK's, but I'm trying to find a REALLY permanent black.
Not sure how much effort you want to put into it, but I'd try to get ahold of a proper theatrical costumer. They might have better ideas on how to re-finish it.

Ever see the character Two Face from the Batman movies? It looks like that. I'll take a pic of the whole thing when I get back from the gym. It just looks really bizarre right now
I'm actually more pissed at myself because it was a coat that took FOREVER to break in to the way I liked it. I should have known better to toss it in the washing machine like that, especially after I got a couple weird fades on my 634SR in the machine.

Ohh….Oops. I hear ya buddy. Well, I guess we've all learned a lesson at your expense. But to be honest, I've thrown all my IH shit in the washing machine and never had a problem...of course I don't own cotton duck. Maybe you shouldn't do that with cotton duck.

This jacket will probably be relegated to be a workout jacket, especially since my 15 year old stepson wants to learn Kali…soon it'll be covered in sweat, spit, blood, dirt and grass...and since he's six foot tall and 220lbs, it'll probably be mine....
There you go. Who knows, DougNg, after all that spit, blood and dirt…that jacket just may emerge as one hell of an evo trick...a work of art !

I gotta figure out if the finish on the jacket can be fixed. I might just trade it for a couple of cheap sweatshirts if I'm just going to trash it in training anyway. I'm not showing up in public wearing a jacket that looks like this. I look like half of me was in a construction area and the other half was standing outside
Normally, I'd be down for random fades, so long as it's got a good story behind it, but I kinda feel like a jerk wearing my favorite jacket that was caught in a freak washing machine accident
-
Those abrasions can happen due to the stiffness of the material. Rubbing against the drum. Inside out washing is always a good idea. Regardless - I feel for you ..but I would still wear it and fade the rest till it gets as light
We can do anything

The material was nice and soft by the time I washed it, and it was flipped inside out
I used a top loading washer, cold water, a couple tablespoons of Woolite Dark, gentle cycle, inside out, and even presoaked it in water first to get it wet and soft first before the agitator started
I'll post up more pics shortly
