@spitfiredealer I used dylon purchased from supermarket.
Pop item in machine on a 40 degree's C wash then dry away from direct heat and sunlight.
I skip the step to wash the item after dying.

I think I´ll dye a white loopwheel tee, could look nice because the white threads should stay white because they are polycotton (I think…) @Giles Is that correct?

My 301BKs are in serious need of repair.  This includes the crotch, pockets, and a few other areas as well.  Does anyone know of any places that do darning in Europe besides Melvin Rakers in Groningen?  Does IH still offer to send jeans to Japan?

I know that Self Edge does darning but they only accept walk-ins.  Due to a screw up beyond my control, I wasn't able to bring them with me when I was in the US over Christmas.

Yes

@Filthy25ozJunkie:

I blew the button off my Beatle Busters. (Giles was right! I shouldn't have sized down!) So I made a sew-on button out an old copper penny, and affixed it with some Kevlar. It turned out really great. I made the holes in the penny using a center punch, and hammered out the penny making it concave using a ball-pin hammer as a die and a 9 pound hammer. It took 2 blows over a piece of soft pine to make the right shape. I might like this better than the regular button.

@Mustafa911 see, sizing 25oz down is not a great idea. They will be agonizing to wear and you'll probably blow the button off like I did. An inch of stretch is expected and desirable as far as I am concerned.

Surgery…..

nice I was sad I missed that Mister Freedom shirt. It reminded me of my Grandpap. Why did you take those off?

[UnTucked]

Just too "cartoon-y" on this particular piece for my taste… I plan to transplant then to my CDO eventually
