IH-9526V - 21oz Non-Fade Denim Type III Vest - Superblack

@Giles @Shovelhead_Chris This would definitely fix the jacket. http://www.dharmatrading.com/dyes/dharma-fiber-reactive-procion-dyes.html?lnav=dyes.html  Go for the jet black. It's the blackest dye ever. Be careful to do this with old clothes and somewhere where you won't ruin everything with dye!

Get some soda ash and add it after the vest has soaked for an hour in the hot dye. Then soak it for another hour.

My vest did the same thing a while ago, I just never thought of posting as I haven't been around the forums much lately. I also ride a motorcycle pretty much every day though.

I like it that way - looks good!

@Bluegrass thanks for the motivation. I got mine out for the first time today.  Bought it in the summer but not worn it yet, thanks in no small part to my wife's reaction to it! Decided to keep the vest (and the wife), and your post made me decide "today is the day".

Awesome - it's a killer look!!

Perfect fit

I like that. I'm not badass enough to pull it off but I like it nonetheless.

Thanks Guys - this had been on my "want" list since 2010, so it was great to be able to get into one.

Gave my vest a cold soak and line dry over the weekend.

Yep, it's still Super Black!

One of my favorite details is how cleanly the placket is sewn:

Only "Evo" is a bit of color lightening around the edge of the collar:

I thought this beast was impervious to fading until I saw the snaps a few pages back showing what sustained sun exposure will do…

@Bluegrass a soak definitely brought the black coloring back out in it once all the dust and junk got cleaned off - the collar was a bit faded anyways before the soak, so I figured it would stay as such once it dried. Not an issue for me though, im sure it's just from abrasion from being folded back and running on the inside of jackets and stuff.

Super nice super black. I barely feel badass enough to wear my riders jacket much less this vest but it does look cool.

@Anesthetist it brings out the inner bad-ass in all of us!
