@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

@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

[DeeDee85]

@aksu I’m just about ready to switch from my winter rotation of stuff to the summer so I’m thinking I may have to get the red one out now and work on both at the same time

[DeeDee85]

@aksu yours really does look amazing though, somehow red and blue at the same time without being purple would love to see some more pics of it.

@DeeDee85 Thanks for posting these. They are coming out nicely. Slowly but surely. Keep us posted.

@aksu That's looking great. Thanks for posting this. Very cool.

[DeeDee85]

Around 25-30 wears in and freshly dried from its first cold wash. Very stubborn and very hard to capture how this looks in person but things are starting to happen..
The wash seems to have made it a much brighter blue too!

Great progress looks excellent after a wash starting to pop

[DeeDee85]

@Jcaz6996 thanks mate, made the rookies mistake of starting with an OD piece sticking it out though, so comfy with how soft the 10oz is. Do you still have yours?

[Lowlander]

@DeeDee85 wow, that's a lot of progress in only 25-30 wears!

[DeeDee85]

@Lowlander thank you, I try to make sure I keep it on for the full day when I get it out

Yeah these may not be as stubborn as you are suggesting @DeeDee85 They look fantastic!

[DeeDee85]

@Oaktavia hopefully! Excited for for the next 25 either way

[Oaktavia]

Hi all I’ve been wearing my shirt now for 109 days and I’ve been meaning to ask wheres the faded at I don’t know if there hidden under the indigo but was very confused now I’ve seen some progress pictures I’m convinced also what’s your thoughts should wash now or hold out it’s seriously stinky sorry
