        @Alex and even then the snaps only just do the job. Although my increasing girth may be part of the problem…

          @neph93 I think that may be one of the reasons Haraki is always resistant when I suggest a rerun

            If I overdyed a white 7.5oz tee, will the white stitching take up the dye or is the thread polycotton? My favourite white tee is looking a bit greige after repeated washes, so thinking of rejuvenating it a little by changing the colour.

              When I did one the stitching did not take up dye in any meaningful way, especially after washing it a few times. @jerkules

                  Thanks @pechelman that’s really appreciated.

                  I like the look too @Giles, but it may inform my colour choice 👍

                              Curious if there's some more info floating around, but I noticed with all my pairs of denim, the indigos are always easier to break in/soften up faster than any of my black pairs. Is it because of the dyes themselves or is it a different process that might cause this? Sorry for what might be a rookie type question, just always wondered why that might be or if I'm crazy to think that lol. Thanks!

                                Depends what black you are talking about. If your black jeans have a black (or any colour dyed) weft, then they will be harder to break in because both the warp and the weft have been dyed.

                                  @Giles Got ya! Yeah, do you guys make a black pair with an undyed weft? From what I can find, (at least the 555 cut) it seems like all the black denim jeans have some sort of dyed weft from what I could tell. Could be just plain missing it though 🙂

                                    @Ed-Rekuc Overdyed black might be an option, although this is technically not a black denim. SBG gets some great fades, although warp and weft are both dyed, even if it is different techniques

                                      @Tago-Mago True! I do have a pair of Indigo ODs which did break in easier. I had to rephrase my thought process after writing because I though the SBGs were a undyed weft but then had to re-read the techniques. I guess the only true comparison I had was the Indigo/Indigo vs Indigo/Black that I have, where the IBs were slightly more (for lack of better terms) "Crunchy", but that could just be me. Thanks for the help though guys, I like reading about all the different types products/techniques when I can!

                                        @Ed-Rekuc Years ago there was a black/white denim and I still have the jeans in the 555 and 634 cuts. If I can find a picture I’ll post it. Don’t think it was especially popular back then. There are work and western shirts made from a 12OZ black/white denim.

                                          @Ed-Rekuc I can find these two fabrics:

                                          IH-1634 Black rope dyed warp, white weft
                                          IH-634S-21blk Black sulphur dyed warp, beige weft

                                          @Giles or @Alex will surely be able to add anything else
