      @madmonday:

      What shirt is that @Chris ?

      More images please

      The shirt started out as an IHSH-119 white chambray, so basically this

      Then I dyed it red, didn't really like the color, then dyed it a different red, didn't really like the color, then just gave up.  It's a little too rust colored, but I can live with it.  One thing I really like is how the buttons came out.

      This isn't the first time I've done this, by the way.  I also have an IHSH-58 that I dyed green.  Overall, I think that one came out better.  Buttons kinda suck, though.  They just look dirty.

        I like the rusty shirt, if you don't want I will purchase. I'm looking at it in the thread thinking that shirt did not come in that color, hahahahahaha.

        The green is nice but it reminds of the Statue of Liberty for some reason. . . change out the buttons on the green & it would rock, maybe sort of  :-\

        Thanks for entertaining & putting up the images @Chris aka mister bad avatar

        This thread has some great stuff in it today

          I think I'll hang on to it a while longer and see if it grows on me. I'll keep you in mind, though. 😉

          As you can tell, I like to get white chambrays and then dye them.  The 119 is a great shirt for doing that.  I'm considering getting another and indigo dyeing it, since I've never worked with indigo and have been wanting to try it.

            IHSH-119 indigo is the logical consequence after that glorious IHSH-119 rusty. Great modification @Chris

            And yes, the 119 is a great shirt, even the indigo/grey one.

              I basically just bleached the fack out of my IHSH-33 and turned it an off-white.

              Unexpected home bleach. Strong result @UnTucked

                The green has buttons like my 108 except my buttons are blackish.

                  @madmonday  completely forgot about fit pics.  Here are a few.  Kinda neat that under the Sharpie on the back you can see the ID: CVA-61.  Turns out that was an aircraft carrier.  The USS Ranger.

                      Your bleached out shirt looks f***ing awesome, cooler than any shirt that originally came in off-white ever could. Kudos!

                      Keep your jeans on–-and let nothing come in between you and the denim !

                        I wanted an oversized Iron Heart logo'd copper snaps, as used on this IHSH 99, so I could remove the plain snap on the "Snappered mandarin collar" of my IH-9527J and replace it with an oversized Iron Heart logo'd copper snap. I asked @Giles and he posted me a single oversized Iron Heart logo'd copper snap that I retro-fitted to my IH-9527J, see below;

                        Cheers @Giles

                                @Giles - As a permanent alteration to the IH-527J & IH-9527J going forward, would it be possible to remove the plain snap on the "snappered mandarin collar" and replace it with an oversized Iron Heart logo'd copper snap as used on this IHSH 99 ?

                                  Of course it's possible.  Will we? Probably not….

                                      I should have taken before pics, but I sent my  MBB's to Indigo Proof after the crotch blew out.

                                      I figured once shipped I may as well have her work her magic wherever possible.  They came back with a laundry list. I'm happy with the outcome and wouldn't hesitate sending them my next trashed pair.
