Dyeing my shirts (UPDATED With Pics!)

[ij1936]

Should anyone care about such things: I am going to dye the last three of my five custom tailored shirts. I've come to realize that having too many tan Indy shirts is not practical so I am dyeing two dark green and one light blue. When I ordered them from a tailor in downtown Chicago, he asked me if I wanted different colors. Should've told him yes.

How green? like Military green or forrest? I think the military green would still work with the Indy look as an alternative style. Say Jungle Indy.

How green?

The Rit box just says dark green. I think it will look better with the khaki colored pants than the tan shirts.

That Rit green is REALLY green. If you're looking for a more subdued olive green, go with Dylon Olive Green. It's good stuff.

If it is a dark green then that is exactly what I am looking for.

Even though everyone's computer monitor displays a different color, please post some photos of your before and after photos. I've been collecting quite a number of Indy shirts (not by original plan), and even though the Westeds and Adventurebilt are much lighter than the Todd's, with a What Price Glory shirt in the middle hue, I think it would add some variety to my wardrobe to have some different colored Indy shirts, too. I suppose I should also get a Magnoli Adventure shirt, to round out my collection. Is there anyone else's shirt I'm missing?

Me thinks Noel Howard for one and maybe a NBA os it MBA, not sure if there one and the same but it would be another addtion to you collection and another way to empty your wallet.

I too would love to see some pic's of your custom taylor Indy shirts, before and after maybe. Good luck.

I'll have to FIND my digital camera AND put some batteries in it! I also need to get some different buttons that will more closely match the color. This is going to take a bit of time: removing the old buttons and sewing on the new ones.

Me I'd love to see what it looked like before,m and what it looks like when done.

Before with original buttons:

When I had the shirt(s) made, the tailor never asked about the buttons. I thought that since he had a sample shirt, the people he sent the order to would've used the same style buttons. I thought wrong, so I contacted Noel and had him send me some buttons.

After with replacement buttons:

I couldn't do anything about the stitching. Apparently the thread used was incapable of being dyed.

I kinda like it!. It will go good with my tan khaki pants.
