          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.

            In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

              @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.

                        Got an unknown stain on the medium pink dye job I did a while ago that just wouldn't come out so I went a little nuclear on it and used the remaining half bottle of dye. The stain is still there (mf'er) but much less noticable.

                            Spilt coffee on my cream 1501, so I embraced it and dyed it “espresso brown”. Pretty pleased with how it turned out.

                                @jerkules Looks great mate. I need a special "soy sauce brown" for the amount of bloody times I've wrecked my 11oz tees 😂

                                        @jerkules love this color man! Agree the contrast stitching is an added flare that looks very cool.

                                        I’m curious about the coffee stain. It wouldn’t come out in the laundry?

                                        In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...
