Repairs & Modifications

[UnTucked]

So several months back when I dyed my IH-2526J brown, I also attempted to dye an IHSH-58 hunter green… It turned out an ugly "baby shit" color, and splotchy.

Today, I'm giving it a go to dye it black. Results coming tomorrow.

I had a similar problem when I dyed a shirt red.  A second attempt made for some interesting color variations and looked a lot better overall.  Be interesting to see how this works out.

If this is a bust, I also have some black Japanese sumi ink that will DEFINITELY get the job done

@motojobobo:

How about sewing a nice patch over it to cover the repair?

That is a brilliant idea! Thank you!

^ show us what the final result looks like! Will be cool to see which patch does the job for you.

Agreed. Looks like it should. Careful or you’ll start getting orders from other forum members [emoji1]

Thanks again for the excellent suggestion! I am much happier about the repair because of it.

Next customization…

I like that a lot. Watch out for Rangers fans though (that’s Glasgow Rangers).

How I get a little more hem space for the pants/jeans that don't fit over my boots…

I did a DIY overdye on my 777 blk with Simplicol „Samt Schwarz“ from the local drugstore. It came out really great. The colour is very even (looks better than on the picture).
Unfortunately the leather patch became very hard. Oiling it didn‘t help. I’m afraid it’s gonna break. Any tips or ideas?

[Matty123]

They look great! I think if you ask @Alex or @Giles nicely you might be able
To purchase a new patch and ha e it sewn on.
