If you were to dye this shirt Khaki, which off-the-shelf RIT dye would you use?:
* Tan
* Taupe
* Sand Stone
When I dyed my adventurebuilt shirt, I first used Dylon pre-dye in order to remove the existing one and prepare the shirt for the dyeing process.
I then used 1 full tin of Dylon Reindeer Beige and 1/4 of Elephant Grey multipurpose dyes. The results were very good, a tone darker than the original MBA shirt.

I saw it on sale, and had to pick one up just to see how it compares. I thought it's an... interesting choice. Its product page claims it's "inspired-by" Indy V, whatever that means, but I guess its generic and unflattering sizing (medium has a length in between a regular and a long, and is at once both fitted and loose) backs that up to a degree. Putting it on definitely makes you look like an 80 year old, since at least on me (5'10, and a size 32), the chest pockets hang pretty low my chest.
The material? It's a thin fabric that is more stoney grey than Indy-khaki, and feels thin yet heavy at the same time. Comes across like a cheap polyester jacket lining more in feel and weight. And while the very cartoonishly long fabric care tag states that it is 100% cotton, it also advises you to keep it away from an open flame, and NOT to iron it. Considering that it was badly wrinkled from shipping, I doubt that it has some kind of wrinkle resistant coating, and I just don't see the point of taking the time to steam wrinkles out of a shirt at this price point.
But... with all that said, it's still IMO a steal at that price. Considering how much Indy shirts usually cost, this is a great price point for a beater shirt that you wouldn't mind getting tears into. Heck, it could even be a good base for a cosplay ToD shirt for you to tear off the sleeves without your wallet wincing too badly. And if you're a collector, considering how often we get licensed Indy shirts, and how popular this is doing (it's already on sale barely a month after release), I doubt it'll stick around for long.

Got my sale Disney shirt yesterday. Even after two washes it is still audibly crinkly. Anyone else had this observation?

Did you use pre-dye beforehand?

I got the same pinkish hue even after taking all the color out beforehand. I’ve read online that using either the green dye as well, or a coffee/tea wash may help. Anyone able to give suggestions on this?

Forgot to mention, I dyed it in Khaki a few weeks ago after using color remover. I got the same pinkish result, but the. I mixed some green in and got a nice light khaki. I’m going to mix some grey in later though to get it closer to a KOTCS color.

Sorry for the late reply. No pre-dye. Just had to give it a couple of different baths with different mixtures.

How did you get it for $30 was it on sale? Should I wait for another to be $30?

That certainly is blue... Do you know if it was dyed that color by the previous owner?

I think RIT. Whichever brand Michael’s has.
