      Well, ok

      I'll admit that paint/bleach/baby eruptions are things you'd want to keep away from your jeans

      Then again, those are things I try to keep away from any of my clothes, not just my jeans (back to the $30 Dockers analogy). When I work with paint or bleach (paint for walls, bleach for killing black mold that seems to be everywhere in Maryland), I have a pair of beater jeans that I bought on the cheap because they were hemmed too short. My son is 17 and he hasn't pooped on me in recent memory

      I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

        shasavan7 hope your not too embarrassed by me posting your very good question. i thought it was great & deserved to be answered by folks that live & breath all this stuff, better late than never i always say 😉

        I, for one, and glad you posted this. I knew there was SOMEONE out there that was collecting denim and stashing it in a closet

          Yeah, I suppose the older they get, the more the pooping on you becomes figurative, rather than literal.:)

            I was wondering if anyone in the UK can get my order from oi polloi shipped to them then ship it to me in the US to stay away from customs taxes.

                easiest is to use tapatalk program which also has an image hosting feature but the images then often look small, at least for me, perhaps that was something I never figured out. But that's by far the easiest

                        How hard is it to overdye denim yourself? after the fact?

                          DO NOT DO THIS.

                            Sorry, I should qualify - if you are concerned about it looking even half way nice, dont bother.

                              Lucifer - I mean, I would definitely not do it on anything you care about. Could be fun to experiment with free, cheap, or old items. Listen to h if you were thinking about anything but.

                                Ok, guys, thanks 🙂 Just getting desperate, went trough all the "denim"-stores in Oslo today, noone had a decent denim shirt with dark threads, dark buttons and decent weight denim. Seriously crappy stuff. I wish I never saw that RT overdyed workshirt 😛

                                  think Beats did some self OD experimental stuff, to lazy to search for this now, but sure you can find it somewhere here around. And as the guys says, wouldn't do that with a quality piece, but with 2nd hand item, or a cheap old Levi's or whatever why not, worth a try, just don't expect perfection…

                                    These are the three threads I found in a quick search that have to do with Overdying and Overdying Projects. I also dyed a pair of vans somewhere on here. Hope it helps.

                                      Thinking about getting a cheap shirt ( http://www.sullivanuniforms.com/uniforms/SD78DN/denim-shirts/Red+Kap+Denim+LONG+SLEEVE+Western+Work+Shirts.html or something) and try to get my hands on some indigo dye.

                                      Edit, found this: http://www.paradisefibers.net/Instant-Indigo-p/2391.htm

                                            Can you do this?  I found a pair of nice, old Clarks in my parents attic (Made in UK), but the crepe sole was rock hard.

                                            Out with the new! In with the old!
