@Appfaff:

Nice snapshot @neph93 !  It looks like you are either you are out skiing or at some weird sort of cafe haha

Both, mate! I've been skiing in Sweden for the last few days but needed a break, so I let the younger generation do their thang while I chilled in the cafe at the bottom of the slopes. "Fine dager" as we say in Norway

@neph93 haha I was hoping it was at a lodge!  Otherwise the person across from you would be looking mighty odd in town with goggles and a helmet on ha

Mate, this was Sweden, so you never know

I tub dyed my 714s to turn the white pocket bags and underside of the cargo flaps black. I think they turned out great. They're in the washer now and I'll post some pics after they've dried.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

They turned out great. Extra black.

They look great.. Good job

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Thanks. The tag and the red threads didn't dye. So they just got a deeper shade of black and now everything is black.

I was thinking of doing the same but not for the white pocket bags just for the lack of fading. I'll be able to wear them to work without having them turn gray from  frequent washing. Love these….

I can post complete instructions and were to get the dye if you'd like.

[Haddtoo 555]

Thanks

I've used their products before (Dharma). Just one question how hot did you get the water….i'm going to use a steel tub or garbage can with an induction burner underneath that should get me all the heat I need.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

I washed the pants in 3 heaping tablespoons of Samurai thunder soap in cold water, then: I just pasted the dye in about a gallon of boiling hot water. I used about 3 gallons of hottest tap water a half a cup of sea salt, 4 oz of jet black dye, and 1 cup of soda ash dissolved in a half gallon of hot water, added to the pants after an hour soak and let the sit for about her hour. Don't pour the soda ash directly on the pants. Move them to the side and slowly add it. Rinse and machine wash. You don't need heat, just plenty of non-iodized salt and soda ash added to the bath after an hour soak.

Sweet…..l think I can do that

@Filthy25ozJunkie:

Is this the same company?

@Filthy25ozJunkie

Thanks for the info….I'll hold off on dying my 714's for now due to scoring a pair of 821's for work.
