IHSH-340-OD - Ultra Heavy Flannel Classic Check Western Shirt - Red Overdyed Black

[Oaktavia]

@WhiskeySandwich I used to overdye my vintage shirts when I was in my early 20s and the black would turn red shirts to a yellow/golden color. It reminded me of those right when these dropped. I thought to myself I guess I was overdyeing without realizing the process had a name. I just wanted my clothes to be black!

The reds have turned into a mustard/ochre with these. The only red that remains is the thread. Even in the areas where the dye has faded, I have to look closely to even see orangey hues.

@Oaktavia Wow!!! So that is how they are going to fade... Wow!!!

@WhiskeySandwich totally agree. If it wasn’t for the red thread, would never guess it’s an od 340

Yeah man, this is after maybe half a dozen washes and wearing primarily at home and as a pajama shirt for 7/8 months. Pretty fun to fade a flannel, I feel silly typing out that sentence but here we are.

@Oaktavia thanks Stevie, looks super cool. I love the pop of the red thread, such a cool vibrant effect

@Oaktavia We are here to celebrate such "sillynes"!! My IHSH-336-OD has not seen so much action yet. I rotate all the flannels to the office but that one is waiting for some ecru 25oz heavy denim. Right now, I tend to go for IHSH-380-IND at home.

@flannel-slut @Oaktavia yea i really dig it, its its own thing for sure. those originals colors would never come back, but it's a badass shirt in its own right because of it

@Oaktavia ecru 25oz heavy denim.

what in the heck!

[Karol]

@Oaktavia I know right? We can dream. Something like that persimmon denim from Tokushima shown in one of Iron Heart Meet Ups & Travel - https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum//post/731622

[Oaktavia]

@Karol Oh yes, I remember seeing those photos. Maybe we will be seeing those pop up on the near future.

@Oaktavia I don't think we will as Haraki does not like the fabric. It would have to come from @Giles as a side project and he's been kind of busy...but as always, never say never.

[Oaktavia]

@goosehd Ah, I see...maybe something Lynne could conquer.

[Karol]

@goosehd exactly that, @Giles mentioned starting a new brand to use the fabrics, but that is why I just mentioned that I would like the new heavy ecru denim, but this is not going to come from IH.
