        I put my silicone Otterbox phone case in the indigo vat and it worked! It was light blue before and now it's a beautiful shade of indigo 😆 I did not think it would take the dye but it totally did. I can post a photo of it tomorrow morning. Now the question is: oh you know it already.

          Here is my indigo dyed phone case. It was super light blue before I dipped it in the vat.

                  X-posting these here because it seems relevant to share from the New Balance thread.

                  I dipped these 998s in the indigo vat last weekend I think about five times. I did these on a whim and they actually turned out to be the prize of the whole weekend. I'm really happy with how these turned out. They were grey and pale yellow with some blue in a few spots. I love how indigo blue some of the areas turned, especially the upper heel area. Wow that blue is bright! What do you all think?

                        so who's going to be the crazy one to buy a fresh pale rider and give it an indigo dunk?

                          I'd chip in to buy the indigo to make this happen. Could be an amazing tour...

                            @Oaktavia Is the mark where you have scuffed them since dying, or where it didn’t take so well? I think these are going to look rad with some wear. 😎

                            It's a scuff from before dyeing them and the dye didn't take to that area well. Character showing through pretty much. I'm guessing they will shed indigo and turn brown again with wear. Unless the dye penetrated the leather and it soaked it up like a sponge. Don't really know 🤔

                                @Oaktavia if you have any dye left you could try applying it to a conspicuous spot, maybe like inside a pocket or something. wonder if it would even take. But you probably made the safe call not dunking it.

                                  @pechelman the dye is no more. Got too oxygenated and I'm all out of materials. I might do it again soon though.

                                    Here is a Pigeon Tree belt that was Color 8, as you can see by the buckle. The indigo turned this one black which I think turned out pretty cool.

                                    Indigo dyed bandanas, nice medium blue.

                                    I tried these IH patches and I like how they have an indigoness to them too.

                                    A previously white Descendents shirt was added to the vat as well.

                                    Here is an old grey IH shirt that turned out similar colored to how one of Filthy's indigo dyed shirt is. I bought that one during the Filthy Auctions.

                                    Lastly, this is a hickory train conductor hat. The patch turned super dark which I love, and you can still see the pattern through the indigo.

                                        Did I allude to this previously 🤔 if so I didn't intend to. I'm stoked with the results quite happy.
