IRON HEART WAYWT - 2024 EDITION

[SamD]

Fancied a pair of jeans that weren't indigo or black, so tried experimenting with dyeing - think they came out pretty well

IH-526J-142
IH-555-PIQ (home-dyed brown)

@SamD Yes they did and excellent job!! Might want to share your secrets on that experiment

[SamD]

@goosehd I just used one of those washing machine pods from Dylan and following the instructions, was surprised by how even the colour has turned out: https://www.amazon.co.uk/DYLON-Machine-Dye-Pod-Espresso/dp/B072LW6ZWK/

Only thing I would change if I were to try it again is to remove the patch first - two 40-degree cycles in a row absolutely destroyed it!

@SamD well done! They look awesome

[goosehd]

@SamD …slightly

[jerkules]

@SamD looks great! Happy to know I’ll have a corrective measure for when I inevitably spill shit down my pair.

[jerkules]

Let’s just hope not literal shit, but these days you never know

[goosehd]

@jerkules I laughed at both of your posts

@Mizmazzle

Man, these boots are the bee's bollocks!

[Fades for future]

@SamD now these look superb mate

[ARNC]

@SamD I think the brown colour works particularly well with the texture on these. Any other experiments planned after this initial success?

[WhiskeySandwich]

@SamD awesome! now you got me thinking about a pair of the new white 888s to dye.....

[Denman John]

@SamD The brown looks great … what colour did the pants start as?

[SamD]

@WhiskeySandwich That's what I was contemplating too, perfect jeans for dyeing as they're such a brilliant white (these piqué models were more of an off-white/ecru) and they've got the fabric patch that won't shrink like leather. Maybe a bright red next time...

[SamD]

@Denman-John It was a pair of the piqué jeans, so a kinda creamy/ecru colour. Such a cool fabric though: https://www.ironheart.co.uk/bottoms/IH-555-PIQ.html

[SamD]

@ARNC Too many possibilities! It's already been mentioned above, but the new 13.5oz twill could be the perfect blank canvas for experimentation

[ARNC]

@SamD planning to keep my whites white at least for now (but who knows what might happen in the future or if a second pair comes my way).

Also wondering what could happen if you @Bailey and @Nik get together to form some kind of greater Gosport experimental overdyeing lab

@ARNC An opportunity for Iron Heart Custom Shop - in the spirit of Gibson / Fender Custom Shops.
