So im thinking of dying my old kutte black and repatching it, the only thing is...ive never successfully dyed anything. Twice Ive used dylon, but they just turn things a slightly shit shade of the intended colour after following all of the instructions on dying things by hand.
Can anyone recommend a better dye or method? or send me a black denim jacket haha ;)
haha, reminds me of my jacket ;)
on the instructions of dylon it also says something about some stuff to take the collor out if it first and doing the normal pocedure after that (to get an even finnish). maybe thats the way to go. so it wont have any bleu bleeding trough.
honestly don't know otherwhise.
Also, make sure youre jacket is 100% cotton. As dylon website states, the results wont be as great in mixed fabrics. i was surprised to find out my levis denim jacket is actually a 70/30 cotton/synthetic blend, which means that i only got a dark blue instead of black.
I have used RIT dye with great success. The best method is to boil a large pot of water on the stove, turn heat down to low, dump the dye in, stir it, place the item in, stir it, let set for an hour or two stirring every few minutes. Another trick I learned BEFORE dying is wash the item in the washing machine in hot water with a cup of salt. The salt helps remove prior fabric softener and roughs up (softens) the cloth so it holds the dye better. USE NO FABRIC SOFTENER as it creates a film on the cloth.
Ive use rit all the time, 2 bottles and some water. My only suggestion is get a brick or something heavy to hold the fabric down, if not then you'll have patches of less darker fabric

Full Flames!!! I never saw this poster before. I own the EMP, but this is fucking supreme! Really cool album by Sodom.
I cut it off of the sleeve from an old air force flight jacket that I thrifted.

Really cool, don't think I ever saw this patch when it was released. Blast from the not so distant past! Haha
Wild stuff especially Ed Hunter!
So cool. Was really hoping there would be leftovers.

Morbid Angel socks?? Damn, they look really nice! I had no idea they even make socks with metal bands, he he!
Thanks Friend π€

I think first bleaching the jacket would be a good plan, since the colour obviously sticks better and more evenly when the fabric is lighter.

''Q
Will dye cover up bleach marks?
A
As bleach can harm the fabric, dyeing may not usually cover up bleach marks.''
from tha Dylon website. think these a big chance of failing if you bleach some part even a little to much.

Not a good idea if the jacket is in a worn contition. It will dissolve.
SAATANANVITTU on
Yeah, that is all true, but if we are speaking of a dark, unused denim for example, I'd give this a try.

True, but stenchcore is talking about his old kutte. Sorry if I'm being a querulant.

Well, I've succesfully dyed one denim vest with Dylon machine wash colours. The trick is to use black AND brown colors to hide the blue.

haha, seeing my jacket, that might work pretty good indeed..
