So looking around for potential fabrics for another run of SaturdayTypeFever shirts - Corduroy? Sashiko? Wabash? Any other suggestions?

Sashiko would be nice, particularly as not something done by IH!

I’m always a sucker for a nice camo but that is just me!

Recently tried my hands ar indigo dyeing. This is a previously white IH shirt. The mottled look was a screw up, but I might keep it. It looks different from other indigo tees.

This might be blasphemy but I love this result from another bleach experiment. I took a risk and dove this chore jacket deep into a bleach soak. What do y'all think?

[endo]

I like it.

Looks like a vintage IH train driver chore jacket.
The irregularity is vibrant and not an imperfection as I thought on first sight.
A peace of art!

Trippy in a good way

@Oaktavia I have so much time for this wizardry! Looks spectacular, and I'm looking forward to the fit pics :the_horns:

[Oaktavia]

Glad you guys like it...I will post fit pics sometime this week!

I'm really impressed by how nicely that turned out @Oaktavia . What kind of, and how much, bleach did you use? Dunked in bleach/water bath? I'd have been shitting my pants every single step along the way...

I filled up a bathtub with about two inches of water, just enough to fill and cover the coat. From there, I took a risk and dumped about half a gallon of chlorine based bleach. The water turned orange, then yellow after a few hours. I then took it to the washer and dryer to get this result. I somehow was pretty calm through the process.

Looks great

So killer. Your IH has been Kapital’d!

Kapital’d

I am so immersed in the IH world I had to look up the bleached Kapital stuff. Kind of surprised they sell bleached out denim. I know that too much bleach can eat away at the fibers but somehow mine came out still like Iron.

[T4920]

@Oaktavia did the bleach cause any extra shrinkage?

[popvulture]

I hear ya. They sell a pretty wide variety, often offering stuff in both totally crispy/raw state and heavily faded. I'm usually not a fan of pre-distressed stuff, but Kapital does a good job of it for the most part. I like the idea of DIY-ing it much better.
