Never say never, but I know of no plans…..

Okay, well I'll just be sure to make these two pairs last as long as possible!

Can’t seem to figure out why I’m not getting notification of new posts in threads I’ve previously posted in? Any help would be appreciated.

Check your settings. There’s an option to cross off for that which may have been unchecked by accident.

I am having the exact same problem. I haven't gotten a forum email in a month. Something is definitely broken.

Edit: I have a tendency to exaggerate… The last one was June 28th. But they come in sporadic and not instantaneously like before.

I changed 2 things,that I couldn’t,previously,seem to find. Let’s see if this helps.  Just saw that Alex had tagged me in a post this morning,but I didn’t get any notification. Strange.

@Jett129 we looked into this last night, it should now be working. Do let us know if you're experiencing otherwise

@Filthy you weren't wrong! Should be all sorted now.

[Jett129]

The notifications are coming through. Thank you!

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Working great now.

Howdy folks,

Anyone have experience garment dying a white IH t shirt? I have some black liquid Rit dye and would like to use it on one of my white shirts…thoughts?

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Rit dye would be good if you want a charcoal grey vintage black color… You have to use a ton of salt and boil the fuck out of it to get any decent results...

Procion MX dye will get you an actual back color. But you must use 1 lb of sodium carbonate to 4oz of dye to about 3 gallons of water to achieve the best results and you should use either Dawn or Synthrapol to prewash first...

Everything you need can be found here https://www.dharmatrading.com/dyes/dharma-fiber-reactive-procion-dyes.html?gclid=Cj0KCQjw6ZOIBhDdARIsAMf8YyHeH9ZnPr1FoM6s-jAEu3Wx3E0-55eOeNYBvFI1Oxzpbs_9ksqzdZEaAnSmEALw_wcB

*Their 250 jet black has been discontinued. So maybe raven black would work too? @Oaktavia (you are a Baltimore Ravens after all).

Filthy speaks the truth. Procion dyes are far better than Rit or anything else I've seen. I used to sell art supplies and I've seen the best dye jobs using Procion. Bold and colorfast.

[Oaktavia]

Awesome @Filthy @Palmer just the two dudes I needed to hear from. Not sure which approach I will go for…I don't mind a vintage grey though the raven black sounds appealing as well.  Caw!

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

You can always redye when the rit dye doesn't work

Haha might as well give it a shot it's already here with me. Tomorrow likely. I'll post a photo of how it…turns out.

I bought IR jeans and flannel with the sale. I was just curious what detergent products do you specifically use for IR jeans and IR flannels for laundry? I honestly don't want to soak anything in the bathtub, looking at some YT videos people take this too far. I prefer the washing machine with detergent. Also anyone here puts any products on the leather patch? If so what product and how often?

Thanks!

[mikebarhoot]

Fels nafta or Woolite dark for detergent
Make sure you turn the pants inside out.
Bicks4 for patches yields the natural look longest
Obenauffs will darken

Bicks4

Obenauffs

[mikebarhoot]

Oh. And hang dry!  Do not put in dryer!

[mikebarhoot]

For frequency:
Stink=wash
Wash n hang dry=patch treatment.

*note. My version of wash is to soak with woolite dark in home depot or lowes bucket ~45 min/1hr. Then hang and hose down all the soap out then leave to dry.

Got it, thanks for the pictures and advice going to order the detergent and Bick4 I already own.
