Sample Riders jacket in 10oz denim white (now Kakishibu dyed)
-
Picked up a Sample Riders jacket ( used) in white 10oz denim . Size is large but I wear a 48 in the 21 oz denim Rider and this one is tighter with shorter sleeves but doable . Decided to do a kakishibu persimmon dye to it and think it turned out pretty good .

Sample Rider jacket in 10 oz Ecru now Kakishibu dyed
Picked this up last year and decided I'd try my hand at Kakishibu. Its now gone through 3 cycles of dying and sunning . Its finally got a nice brown hue to it .

Looks awesome

Agree this turned out fantastic. Was it a hard process? Messy? Worth the effort? Makes me want to give it a try on something ….

This is how it started . Its not too bad , but almost impossible to get a even color . After much research I just decided I'd go for it . It is a bit mottled/ uneven in color but that just makes it look better in my opinion.

Very cool. Yeah I dig how it turned out a lot.

Get more kakishibu dye than you think you will need and follow mixing directions exactly. Once everything has been dyed you just bottle it back up in airtight containers and store it in a dark , cool place .
Let item hang dry then get it out in the sun as much as possible. Once you see the item getting dark then repeat. I did three cycles on the jacket and am now hanging it in the sun daily as I'm stuck at home recovering from rotator cuff surgery and bicep relocation. I only did two cycles on a pair of white canvas sneakers as a test . The thicker material held more dye and was darker .
