Care For Your (Denim/ Wool/ Cotton)

[Giles]

Going to wear them to the party?

[hectic]

yeah, I think I will. They only need a little bit more consistency on the dye.

[Giles]

You better hope it is not a hot day then.  I sweated my nuts off in them on a hot day in NYC…G

It's gonna hit 35 C°/ 95 F here tomorrow. Best believe I'll be working in shorts

Yeah, the denim seems to have tigher weave than the 634S.

[Giles]

Yes, completely different, the 634S breathes really well, the 634SR does not.

No, you keep 'em, he's slightly better behaved since that trip (although his voice is a lot higher than it used to be)

It might also have to do with the massive hangover the next day…

awesome project hec,  can't wait to see how they turn out.

[ronaldlsh]

Haha, i want to see them too. If it's not bad, i might do it on my skulls on the first wash for the SBs.

Got the extra dye today so will get messy later. Will post pics when dry - so probably Sat.

[hectic]

Ok, I dont actually wholeheartedly recommend doing a DIY overdye, results are ok and wearable (and it was quite fun doing it) but not befitting the quality of the subject, pics:

[hectic]

Doing it with a fairly faded pair is the problem, all the evo causes uneven overdye, but on the other hand why would you do this with a box fresh pair? So, the conclusion - if you want OD, buy some 634S-B.

[mvb]

are the jeans still wet in the pictures?

[hectic]

nope, just v.sightly damp.

[ronaldlsh]

I think i going to get some jeans from uniqlo and overdye it. Just for fun, and to see how they look.

More of a question on caring for an IH T-Shirt. So I unfortunately have 3 White IH T's with slight yellowing under the pits. I only wore them twice so I know that it is a combination of my deodorant and detergent. Wondering if anyone have any experience with bleaching T-Shirts? More importantly White T-Shirts with IH prints/ logos on them… Any help would be much appreciated!

[that_was_easy]

I've had some success with white vinegar added to the washing cycle.  I've always found bleach to be too abrasive and while it will help to cut stains, it'll probably also cut the life of they shirt.

Edit for clarity: Vinegar is already a weak acid so too much can't really hurt, but I usually add around 1 cup per gallon of water.  Also, I usually just soak w/ vinegar and wash normally.
