I know Bayern has done this before with some dye that was only available in Germany. But I am wondering if and how you guys restore/repair your shirts. I got this really faded shirt with numerous holes in it and I wanna fix it up so that I can get some more life out of that. I can post pictures when I get sometime, but am just curious as to what and how you fix shirts. Like, how do you guys close pin holes and stuff? And has any one used a dye to restore the colour of a shirt before?
If anybody has any information, it would be most welcome! I am pretty sure this can help a lot of others as well. I am sorry if there's another thread with the same topic. Just couldn't find it! Thanks.

no idea outside of what bayernpirat has done.
i hope someone else answers...
For holes, I've used Bondex patch stuff. It's used for patching up tears and holes in shirts and similar items. Works very well. I have a great example of it here:http://tshirtslayer.com/tshirt-or-longsleeve/metallica-practice-shirt (See the left armpit area in the first picture).
As for dyeing, I haven't dyed shirts or denim yet. So ask Bayern for that. Hope this helps!
i dye my shirts when they need some love... just get some over the counter cotton dye and use like perscribed on the package, it won't stick to the print, rule of thumb is 6 shirt mx per package ! just to get the perfect black colour you want, the more shirts, the less intense the black ;)
Don't use random hobby dyes like Rit as you may run into problems. Most are _not_ colorfast and will bleed and fade or will not be true-to-color. Use Simplicol (German) or Dylon (Dye of London) for quality dye that stays put. Another brand I haven't tried is named "Dharma Procion". Make sure to double check that whichever one you choose to buy, that it's a "Fiber-reactive" dye, because it will generally not react with the print. Also, keep in mind that the dyes work best on 100% cotton, fabric blends may not hold color as effectively. The older version of Simplicol required mixing in a separate salt in at the time of washing, but I'm pretty sure there is a newer version that is all-in-one. The Dylon comes in a hand-wash and machine-wash formulation, so beware which version you are buying as it's not always obvious when you go to a retailer.
The patching/sewing method will depend on the type of hole you are dealing with. If there is material missing, your best bet is to use a patch. If the hole is small enough and the material isn't unraveling, then you can just sew it up. I would look up online how to sew different types of holes.
Simplicol has an all-in-one product but the old one with salt is better because the dye is more resistant against washing, the all-in-one fades faster.
Awesome collection! Is the background an old Godzilla carpet?

If one of my shirts is fading very much and gets holes, i cut of the sleeves. I personally think this makes it look very badass:D

for small holes I have this suggestion:
