      @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.

      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...

        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 😂

                The devil is in the detail..

                        @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...

                            @Oaktavia you win! That vat dye job looks so good, love the variation of indigo intensity. I’d be really nervous to try with an IH tee in case I f*cked up

                              @Mizmazzle yeah it just a bit solider and in quite a prominent spot down the front. Washing got like 90% of the stain out, but seemed to bake the other 10% in. Gave me an excuse for a dye project 👍

                                @jerkules came out rad as hell man. Pretty fun how a dye project can give a shirt a whole new life!

                                  I put the shirts in the vat all scrunched up so they have a subtle tie dye look. Gives it a hand dyed appearance.

                                      This one was fun. It started bright red when new. First, I dyed it green using a Dylon dye pod. From there, I tie dyed it using Jacquard indigo dye. I think it was dunked about five times in two separate indigo vats.
