@Oaktavia did the bleach cause any extra shrinkage?

[popvulture]

I hear ya. They sell a pretty wide variety, often offering stuff in both totally crispy/raw state and heavily faded. I'm usually not a fan of pre-distressed stuff, but Kapital does a good job of it for the most part. I like the idea of DIY-ing it much better.

[Oaktavia]

@T4920 I don't think so after boiling it the other week but it does feel like it fits better somehow.

@popvulture agreed, I wouldn't buy a predistressed one but I thoroughly enjoyed this experiment and love the change from dark to light indigo.

Here are some fit photos of my 103 bleached out.

@Oaktavia this makes so much more sense now I’ve seen it on you. The back has worked out particularly well.

[Oaktavia]

@ARNC hah glad to hear it

[Twistlock]

Cool experiment and outcome @Oaktavia !

@Oaktavia buying enough bleach to fill a bathtub

Was thinking about your wabby experiment today, @Oaktavia. Any updates on how it's looking? This seems like it would be an amazing painting smock.

I wore it the other day, pairs well with my IH red zip hoodie. I can post next time I wear it. It would be an amazing painting smock...I think I'll do just that next time I paint too.

What crafts were you thinking?

I had been posting in the other thread about dying a couple of items. Most recently thinking about dying an ihsh-07 that doesn't get too much wear.

[Oaktavia]

@pechelman which other thread?

[pechelman]

here's the link to the last post. I made another one above it asking if anyone had tried dying a grey thermal before too. I still havent committed to doing it but feel like I should. My grey gets so little wear, but i don't want it to turn some poop brown color between the grey base and brick red i'd like to target.

I painted these cornhole boards that my FIL made for us. The painting section at Lowes has NFL teams colors so I asked for the Baltimore Ravens black, purple, gold and white. This was much harder to paint than I expected. All those fucking points drove me crazy. I am super happy with the result though. I plan to clear coat them and order some Ravens bean bags from Etsy or whatever. I did have an idea that Iron Heart denim bean bags would be really cool too. I have some scraps laying around but I'm not so great at sewing. @Matt though you'd dig these.

Exactly my man! Just got a new Ravens hoodie too woo!

[Mizmazzle]

@Oaktavia I actually just tried to get tix to the Bronco's season home opener...went on sale at 10a...got skunked....

[Oaktavia]

@Mizmazzle ah bummer dude. I would look for tickets for later in the season, maybe against a division rival.

Outstanding Stevie! I’m all fired up!
