IHSH-33-OD - 12oz Selvedge Denim Western Shirt - Indigo Overdyed Black

[SamD]

@jebrand @Tago-Mago Just to confirm, yes, this new batch is overdyed using the newer direct dye process. No other changes

@SamD do you know by chance if the last run was the old method?

[SamD]

@bluemantra No, the previous run (which restocked April '24) was the first to be overdyed with the newer direct dye. Models before that, however, would've been sulphur-dyed, but we've been slowly phasing out this method due to the environmental risks it poses in production.

@SamD what’s the difference in the final result?

@Damocles In terms of fabric appearance, you’d be hard pushed to tell the difference. Where it’s most noticeable is in the garment stitching, which appears more prominent as the polycotton thread doesn’t take on the direct dye (whereas the sulphur dye stains/darkens it a little more).

It doesn’t apply to this shirt, but the sulphur process also oxidises the copper hardware on jeans and CPO shirts (such as the 293-OD), giving them an aged appearance. Hope that helps!

I bought this from an online retailer before the latest release. Can anyone confirm from photos if this is the old OD method? The buttons look to be tarnished to me.
