IH-634SR - 21/23oz 5 Year Anniversary Straight Cut

[Giles]

One of my customers had a problem with his 634SR, so Haraki graciously agreed to overdye them.  They were overdyed with the patch still on, this is what happend in the overdying process (we did of course sew a new patch on)….....

Giles!

Why overdyed the sr?

[Giles]

Because customer screwed them up by putting them in the washing machine right side out (I think)…...

Giles, don´t post pics like that. I guess a lot of people will think about having their SR overdyed..

Best part of the video is hearing the patch go clicking across the table like a poker chip when Giles drops it.

Out of curiosity, how long and how hot is the OD wash?  Are there any non-trade secrets that could be shared?  I'm thinking about an OD project of my own and I'd like to replicate the professional version as well as possible.

[Giles]

I thionk that it is 60C, but do not know for how long…........

unless you have a large pot you could "boil" your jeans in i wouldn't bother. just comes out patchy or not set in probability [use salt to help set]. also there is all kind of "BLACK" you obviously want blue based.

those OD ones are pretty nuts..
not sure if this was asked but why were there special soaking instructions when these went for sale?

because otherwise G. would have had many more SRs in need of the additional OD-treatment

If you are referring to the special soaking instructions on a new/regular pair, the info. is on page 35.

but very good point simon haha

I'm not planning to do jeans, just a couple of smaller items and I have an old 5 gallon bucket I was planning to use.  I think it will allow enough movement so that the dye won't get patchy.

Why would I want blue based dye?  I didn't know there was more than one kind of black…
