IH-9526V - 21oz Non-Fade Denim Type III Vest - Superblack

@pechelman that would be pretty awesome, some kind of indigo silver X black

Overdyeing it indigo would be pretty cool. I would definitely want to step up my dye and purchase higher quality indigo. But I am not sure yet if I want to do that. First, I will keep sun bleaching it to see how light it will go.

@Luijim78 it’s perfect just like that, I have the jacket version and it’s my favourite piece, simple sturdy and minimalist, goes with everything I own!

[Luijim78]

@ÆRϺΔΚ yes I agree, I also have the type 3 of the same fabric and I love them both, thanks mate

[pechelman]

@tody thanks, I missed that!

I should know better than to think he'd leave us out of the fun

[Oaktavia]

@pechelman of course not! This is where the idea originated.

Can't believe I waited like five years to try this over a perfecto. Still one of my all time faves. Fits amazing with or without layering!

Very cool yesss

Update on the sun bleach experiment. The vest was left undisturbed on my roof for another couple of months. The Appalachian sun has continued to do its thing. It was quite dirty from rainstorms and spiderwebs, so I threw it in an extended wash. This is how it came out, surprisingly:

Pretty weird, huh? Went from pristine silver-white to almost an acid wash like visual texture. Maybe the dye bled in the wash is my guess.

@Oaktavia that is madness

[tody]

that is totally sick.anyone here with a degree in chemistry who could explain what is happening here? or do we need to call in the wizards?

This is so cool. I really liked the pure silver look pre wash. Then the acid wash effect is so interesting. The black under the pocket flaps…so much craziness going on.

[Oaktavia]

@Mizmazzle I like the silvery look too, I'm going to throw it back on da roof.
