          Epic work on the socks Mike. Now you can have indigo stains on the inside AND outside of your shoes 🙂

            Final product, I washed the fuckout of it in synthropol to get all of the fugitive indigo out. Used way too much and I had to wash it three times to get all the suds out of the washer 😆

                Thanks. Seems like I could have used a tad less iron for a bluer color. I also should have played it flat instead of hanging it up because you can see where the shirt got darker as it dries… But I guess it's pretty sweet. I like it.

                  Mike, I like that subtle gradient actually. What I wouldn't like and would be most worried about would be blotchy inconsistencies. I also think the tone is cool, it's something different.

                  I look forward to seeing your Smurf feet when you wear those socks 😃

                  Really admire your DIY spirit @Filthy

                  I may try to do some tie dyes with indigo since some of the ingredients like soda ash are the same.

                  Think it, be it.

                    I only dipped the socks once to avoid this problem. Thanks a lot man.

                      I like how irregular the dye is. I think the shirt looks great. You're getting really proficient at this, @Filthy.

                        Really like the bandanna Mike

                        Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
                        Well, I have others.

                          Does anyone have overdye advice/instructions? If I got the 292 to sulphur dye one myself? Looks like dye, salt, hot water. Time
