Re-dye the LC Shirt ?

Post by IndianaMike »

hey there,
I know that it is better to re-dye the NH Raiders shirt for an accurate color but what about the NH Last Crusade shirt ?

Well, if I am correct, the LC shirt is darker than the Raiders shirt, it shall take some pondering on this matter . . . . but really, then again, it would not matter if you used color remover, well you will just have to see after the color remover is applied and compare those results to how the Raiders version turns out after color remover. If they come out the same then just go with the regular directions. If it comes out darker, you can always try more color remover . . .

I think the ToD/LC is right on for color. Actually other than the buttons, all three are the same color. It's the film of ROTLA that makes it appear lighter. But they must have filmed ToD and LC different (less contrass or something like that) so the shirts more reflect the real color they are. So personally, if you're going for a ToD or LC look, I would not touch the shirt (redyeing it that is...).

Cheers.

Why in the world would you think that?!?! The shirts are the perfect color, just not what you see on the screen. If you want the REAL color, don't dye it. If you want what's on the sceen, then get your tools out. Good luck in any case. :D
