@Jcaz6996 love that you own one of these. Prime candidate to show us how this OD ages.

Nice one @flannel-slut it’s a great shirt Interested in see how this fades too. Going to be in rotation with IHSH-33-Ind summer shirts

Any chance you have an update on the fading please ?

[Jcaz6996]

@freecard I haven’t sorry. Been wearing my IH526L for the Redline Rally. It’s ’s definitely a shirt I want to fade but haven’t quite gotten around to it.

[freecard]

Ok thanks for the super fast feedback !

If anyone has some more fading example, it would be really useful

@freecard I’m about ten days in with mine, I’ll try and hold off a few more days before it’s first wash then I’ll upload the results? Looking at it at the minute, I’d say the fades are going to be very bright electric blue

I was just thinking about this shirt on the way to work today...must not buy...already have too many!

[DeeDee85]

@Oaktavia I can’t even imagine how good one of these would look if you put one through its paces!!

[Oaktavia]

@DeeDee85 haha thank you but not helping!!!

[grzzi]

@stichdown-shell just a few quick and dirty pics, I think a wash will bring the fades out a bit more so I’ll post some better ones post-wash. Took a long time to start fading and what would usually be a whitish fade line on a non-overdyed shirt is now very blue, so I’m guessing the overdyed red would fade into a red line? I think

[Oaktavia]

@DeeDee85 wow your shirt looks pretty awesome how it is fading already. With the blue overdye process, I would think the fades would eventually turn white. Isn't the core of the threads still white? And for the red one, would it fade to a lighter red then to white? Electric pinks?

Fades are very mild in my Red, but I think it fades to blue -> white unless there is a rip/hole that exposes red dyed weft. A bit similarly to beige weft jeans on backround that fade to blue and white

[DeeDee85]

@Oaktavia I agree yeah, I think the first sign of fades would show a bit more of the overdye colour (either bright red or bright blue) and then that would eventually come off to show the original white thread colour. Definitely an interesting idea by IH either way. I bought this when I didn’t really have any idea about fades but just thought it a beautiful shirt. Was then a bit disheartened to realise it would fade incredibly slowly but am now looking forward to seeing what happens now things are finally happening

[DeeDee85]

@aksu that looks awesome!!

[aksu]

@DeeDee85 yeah! I like the colour as it is. Fades are just extra and they come a bit slower than for 33 variations I think
