About a year ago I bought a pair of 70s Chucks. I didn’t like the colour but they were super cheap and I had the idea of giving them an indigo treatment.
However, I totally forgot about it until today.
I think they turned out pretty good.

@don_pipone love em. What dye did you use?

[don_pipone]

@Denimhead-0
Thank you!

I used an Indigo Dye kit from Jacquard. It contains everything you need (Indigo, Hydro, Soda ash) and a pair of rubber gloves which I highly recommend to use
It‘s pretty straightforward to use and really exciting to see the dye oxidize and turning blue after removing it from the mixture.

@don_pipone Thank you

@Denimhead-0 that is the exact same box I used as well. It works great! Just need a five gallon bucket from the hardware store and a stick (I just use one from the woods). I usually buy two kits at a time just to have a backup in case I have more ideas as I dye what I initially intended.

Works great with Vans too btw
These I made a couple of years ago.

@Oaktavia Thanks for the advice. I’ll probably follow that and get two. Experiment with the first.

@don_pipone I used this years ago! I died a linen shirt that I still wear. It held the indigo like an absolute champ, still dark in spots with some good fading along stitching/seams.

[don_pipone]

@StarsSuck yeah, that stuff works really. I will definitely dye some more pieces.
