      For those with OD denim that had length hemmed, what color thread did you go with? Since the thread is OD and the new thread isn't, I'm wondering what will look best.

      The thread doesn’t really hold the OD dye as it is poly/cotton. It maintains a degree of contrast. That being said either the same contrast thread or black/charcoal will work.

        Thanks neph, I think I'll just get a normal thread color like non-OD IHs.

          That is what I’ve always done on mine. Enjoy them!

            .  @robertsccr5 If you feel like living dangerously,lately I’ve been getting my jeans hemmed with turquoise thread ,which I think might look really sharp with OD jeans. Just my 2 cents.

              @Filthy @Palmer so yeah, it turned out a charcoal color. Still damp in the photos. I don't hate it, but it certainly could be darker. I like white shirts, but at my best I am a slob so darker colors tend to hide that a bit more.

              I'm going to purchase some of that stuff you two suggested and redye it in the future. I am penny pinching because my fiance and I are about to welcome two puppies into our home this Friday!

                @oaktavia the blue/orange from the logo look nice against charcoal…maybe you don’t need a full black tshirt. A somewhat darker (and more even) charcoal would be brilliant for the logo colors IMO. A second dyeing with the same product would probably get you there.
                Good job.

                The journey is the objective.

                  @mojojojoe thanks for the feedback. I'm not totally concerned with it being super dark, but there is a bit of unevenness to it that a second dye job would help. I'll likely do this in the future but for now, it'll be this way.

                          Yeah I think I might just leave it as is. Looks good now that it's dry.

                            @Oaktavia one thing I didn't say is to make sure to wash that separately or with other black clothes or it will bleed all over everything.

                                  The strange things that wake you up in the night - I was woken last night thinking about the snaps or buttons that were left in the sea in Gosport to be used on a shirt/shacket.

                                  Which item was that?

                                    I remember this but can’t recall what they were used for.

                                    I received a $100 gift card for Amazon but can’t think of anything I should use it for.  Can I have some suggestions?

                                          The nitro brews are awesome.  Maybe I’ll get a kegerator and try to figure that one out.

                                            No sorry.  Haraki did them in a rush argot to ask us if we wanted any.  He fessed up this morning….

                                            "G san,

                                            We released 2 new designs of loop wheel T-shirts on the other day. We released in late summer and I didn’t introduce to UK. Didn’t I? I hadn’t introduced, yes?

                                            This year, I was late for deciding the designs. Also I wanted to sell shirts in Spring and I planned to release T-shirts in summer. That’s why the schedule became like this.
                                            I’m sorry.
                                            Next year, I will introduce you earlier.

                                            HARAKI"
