IHE-37-BLK - 21oz Denim Waist Bag - Superblack Non-Fade

@pechelman I’m personally very thankful for this little saga as I also had no idea that the SB sun bleached like this.. your bag looks awesome too by the way.

A quick question for @giles would the 12oz Johnny Cash shirt end up similar to this if left out in the sun enough?

@DeeDee85 a few posts up @Giles says it'd go brown. not sure if he was joking or it's referring to a different fabric. Interesting to see the saga @pechelman has been on.

[Giles]

The superblack vest is the same fabric as the IHE-37-BLK, so it will go brown if subject to direct sunlight for long enough. There are loads of different versions of the Johnny Cash, the reactive dyed superblack version however, should also go brown, it's the same dyeing method.

@Giles thank you

@pechelman Thanks for the updates and think it looks great. This reminds me I need to clean my 51 …

I'm thinking I'll reinforce the fraying edges with a little sashiko type stitching unless there are other ideas.

Since there were no other ideas, I went ahead and did this last night. Tried my best to keep things straight/even but it was tricky being it was mostly on a curved surface with lots of piping in the way.

@pechelman That red is killer!

@pechelman bag looks awesome I think it has a worn in beat up look that should be embraced.

You did that by hand? Stitching is clean and crisp!:)

[pechelman]

Thanks @jimcord
It took me the better part of an hour or two. Used a couple of strips of making tape with measured out divisions to keep it straight and even. Was a fun little project.

Ok thanks I mean i kinda like it like this! Will my duffle bag do the same?

[goosehd]

@Andymac Yes as it’s the same material. Sunlight exposure should turn it brown.

[Andymac]

@goosehd
Great thanks for info

[seawolf]

I’m actually looking forward to mine turning a little brown!

[Andymac]

@seawolf

Dude, ever since the recent discussion regarding SB turning brown in the sun, I have laid out my SB vest. I had it on the roof of my house for a week while on vacation and have it on my deck currently. It is for sure turning color and its fun to watch. I'll be leaving it outdoors in the sun for the foreseeable future or until it fades enough to my liking. I'll post photos in a few weeks or so. I quite enjoy this surprising method to turn denim black to brown.

[seawolf]

@Oaktavia it looks so cool! Unexpected and I rather like it. Can’t wait to see your vest!

[jfox1980]

@Andymac I can't wait for my bag to start turning color!
