            Finally got around to dying my white 1600. Used the Dharma Trading Procion “Sea Glass” color.
            Color came out smooth and even across the shirt. Super happy with it.

                  Hot damn that looks great. Wish I had seen this before selling my white corduroy. It would have looked sick this color. Well done man!

                    Thanks, boys! I practiced on another white tee first to make sure i didn't botch things on my 1600. Both came out really even and natural looking. The bucket method is a bit time consuming, as I did one at at time, but it was a fun project.

                      @Mizmazzle well they came out looking great. Did the dyeing process involve super hot water?

                          @SKT I only dyed the white 1600. The green and black one are OG and just for reference.

                          I just used luke warm tap water to mix the dye and fill the bucket. Then I machine washed on warm after the dying was complete. I was a little worried about shrink, but I noticed none.

                            @Mizmazzle good to know. I had toyed with dyeing the cord shirt but worried it would take super hot water and shrink an already snug shirt.

                              @SKT the instructions call for a Hot wash post dye job...I wasn't brave enough to risk that. But it seems all came out nicely. Dharma has great instructions...plus the practice on a old shirt method helps remove some anxiety.
