@Giles thank you. Then no dye it is

@indigostiff hi man, I have dyed both a white and cream 1600, indigo and brown respectively and I can confirm the stitching is polycotton and remains white

Is it poly or cotton? I’m looking at dying one, but if the thread is poly the dye won’t take and will remain white
correct, the thread seems to be poly, doesn't take the dye

@doubletee Cheers mate, I just used a Dylon packet.. cheap and cheerful but seems to do the job!

I have used Dharma Trading's procion 2-stage dyes in the past - a bit of work, but won't fade out to mush. You can modify the dye amounts to get a nice faded-dye look, too, which stays steadfast. https://www.dharmatrading.com/dyes/dharma-fiber-reactive-procion-dyes.html

@doubletee do it man! think mine took just shy of a week to finally be dry enough to wear after hang drip drying haha. Get experimenting!

I dyed this shirt using susuzome dye, which is a natural Japanese dye made from the soot of burnt pine wood. Ended up dying it twice as the first round resulted in a pretty light grey. I was hoping for a little more consistency in the variation, but overall I'm pretty pleased with the result. I really like how the bottom half turned out, but it gets a little plain on the upper half. Might go for a third round some day... we'll see.

@Matt Thanks, I think so too! What I meant was that I would have liked more of the 'cloudy' look that's present on the bottom half throughout the whole thing, as it gets a little 'plain' on the upper half. But I have not idea what I'm doing
-
I like that a lot @Rangadello
-
@Rangadello that looks amazing
-
@Rangadello Looks awesome man! I'm thinking of what colour to do next! I like the slight irregularity/one-off feel of it!
-
@Rangadello pretty cool mate, it looks almost like a good on brand t-shirt
