Dyes

[Panama]

Has anyone re dyed a shirt? I have a brand new shirt that has bleach stains. I can't decide on a hand or machine wash dye. Thankfully the shirt is a medium colour blue. I really like the texture.

I have only worn it twice. I shall play with a hand wash dye, if it fails I can wear it in bed...

It's a good job they have a sale on. I really like the Natté
Weave.

The fabric is by Monti.

No, first time using Benzoyl Peroxide. It was reccomended for my folliculitis by my Doctor. Only after applying did I realise it stains.

did you put it on before wearing the shirt?

Yes, after showering. I then spent the evening relaxing on the sofa...

I’ve died a few shirts. Only really works with basic reds, blacks and navy - other colours just aren’t right or fade to dodgy shades. Sulfur dies smell and need to be fixed with heat and salt. Not really worth the effort, but I have a few black shirts I’ll dunk next time the wife isn’t home to see.

Dry cleaners used to do dying in the old days, maybe some still do?

In a dress shirt?

The shirt’s fucked. Be careful with your sheets as well.

I’d try soaking it in Napisan for 24 hours. Or using Sard Soap. I dunno what they are called where you are.

Typical, the Blue Sky Natté above is a different design...

I am not having much luck at present. A black ink pen leaked in one of my favourite pairs of chinos pockets...

Good luck!

Most it is common sense - doing what you can to ensure the dye soaks in to every fibre of the garment. I do it in an old pot on the stove or a camper grill in the yard.

The biggest challenge is not dying your hands and the kitchen walls.
