Converse

[Sam]

A while ago when i lived in Toronto i tried getting into indigo dyeing and started with a pair of cheap white converse. They came out pretty well and i ended up doing a bunch of different things. I really want to get some vats in the garden set up at work so we can experiment some more. I job for the upcoming summer.

If anyone has experience with indigo dip dyeing i'd like to hear your thoughts.

^^^that's from a single dip? I like that color! I bet they look amazing with denim!!!

If i remember correctly this was two or possibly three dips. They did look great with denim. They're pretty haggard now. I'll dig them out and add a pic of them as they are after a lot of wear.

Sounds like they're just getting good! I'd love to see current pics

Those look cool Sam. Id personally prefer them to be darker tho

[Sam]

I was tempted to go darker but i'd already made quite a bit of mess

I think i'm going to try and do it again soon.

New kicks! 70's Chuck Taylors.

@Sam:

Awesome suede fabric & colour … great choice!

@Sam - did you get your same standard chuck's size for the 70s version?  Might finally grab some next time cons has a sale going on

[Sam]

Hey @Appfaff

Yeah i generally go for 11UK in both. I've got odd feet. My left is about .5 of an inch bigger so i can usually get away with 10UK but it tends to rub on my left foot when i do long walks. I think the 70's chuck's are good for wider feet too.

[Appfaff]

Awesome! Thanks for the info - I wasn't sure how the padded footbed affected the sizing.  Much appreciated!

From what ive read. The 70's and the CTAS PRO come up half size big and normal chucks are a full size bigger.
So im normally 12us in everything. I do 11.5 in the CTAS and 11 in reg chucks

Thanks dude - I wear a 9.5 in the CTAS pro, 10 in KA3 and 9.5 is Star Player pros.  9.5 it is!  Missed out on ordering last month with the 25% off sale, but they happen frequently enough…  Thinking the OG Off-white and a Navy Blue pair may be in my future!

No prob man. Ive been eyeing a few pairs of the 70's. Interested to see how much different they are from the CTAS PRO
