IHT-1600-WHT - 11oz Cotton Knit Crew Neck Short Sleeved T-Shirt - White

[Bailey]

@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

[endo]

sorry, didn't see your answer @Bailey but now it's double confirmed

[doubletee]

@Bailey this looks amazing mate. What dye did you use?

[Bailey]

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

[indigostiff]

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

@Bailey thanks mate, may have to do an experiment!

[Bailey]

@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]

I think the inconsistency in the color makes it great. Otherwise you could have just bought a dark grey shirt. Nicely done.

[Rangadello]

@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

[Matt]

I see. Wabi sabi man. Pretty good for an experiment.

[endo]

I like that a lot @Rangadello

[doubletee]

@Rangadello that looks amazing

[tody]

That's quite some indigo transfer...
777 UHR from the inside, 380 from the outside.

[Bailey]

@Rangadello Looks awesome man! I'm thinking of what colour to do next! I like the slight irregularity/one-off feel of it!

[gouki74]

@Rangadello pretty cool mate, it looks almost like a good on brand t-shirt
