This was the turn for dyed the classic gem 'Bathory - Twilight Of The Gods Long Sleeve - 1991'.
I know the debate about to leave the shirt with the original old vintage color, but not for me.
I think you can use any black dyed, in my case I used a mexican one called El Caballito (Little Horse). I have used this one in my youth, so I know it works so well because it still exists ;)
1.- Boil enough water in a container to cover the shirt.
2.- Boil for about 15 minutes, the water has to be REALLY VERY HOT. As if you were cooking a chicken :)
3.- Pour 2 bags of black dye so that it dissolves in the water.
4.- Submerge the shirt in the container and turn it around in the water from time to time for about 20 minutes.
5.- Take the shirt out of the container and wash it with water only, until it stops releasing black water.
6.- Let it dry outdoors or in the dryer (that's what I did).
I've also re-dyed shirts several times, just put them in the washing machine with the stuff down there, then wash them again normally and that's it.
It was always perfect!
Yeah it’s basically a brand new shirt. Worth every penny.
Thanks man! Yeah Funeral Chant rips!

Thanks mate!
Thanks man! I hope to get more different motorhead comissions 😎
Geiler scheiss! HR Giger is schon cool, aber des find ich noch besser
Ultimately jealous of this! What a great band.
Patch looks great. Oldschool style weaving. Less colorful is nice as well.
Man, this is that raw old-school Cradle merch I love.
Beautiful patch! Got myself one and was wondering if you have any idea what it might be worth?
But no Burzum?
nice, a bit shorter than the original
cool! glad to see a remake of the original

Big improvement! What brand of dye did you use, and any special tips for us brave enough to attempt?
