sorry OP, I can't help much. I just put mine with some dye and salt into the washing machine and received a pitch black parka.

>>12198485
Damn dude that looks good. I havent been using salt, is that the problem. Also did you use rit or dylon?

>>12198489
I used a (German) product called simplycol. It came with a little plastic bottle filled with dye AND a pack of fixating salt, which were both to be placed inside the washing machine.

>>12198447
does anybody know how the dude in that pic got his velcro patches/ zipper to be brown? I dyed my parka to about the same color, but those parts didn't absorb any dye and stayed the same color.

Same here man, I actually wanted some subtle camo and I got pitch. Not to bothered tho, I like the black.

>>12199018
What did you do to yours?

stop it already

>>12198449
>>12199218
I already fell for the meme it's too late

>>12199210
One package of dye and a half hour in the washing machine, then one more to get the remaining dye out of the cotton so it doesn't run onto other clothes 'n' shit. then in the dryer and..tah-dah.

It would be great if you faggots were even a little creative, dying the parka a colour other than black or maybe using a different jacket.

W2C that coat?

Everytime I see this guy I keep asking myself, what the fuck is up with his leg?

had the same issue with both dylon and rit

>>12200340
Dylon?

>>12200988
Haha. yea, actually.

I love these threads. There's a new one everyday and it's always the same conversation. No one learns anything, especially not how to use the archive.

I got one with the intention of dying it, but it turned out I actually just really liked the pattern.

you are either too short or too stocky to wear long hem tops

>>12198447

>>12198447

>Wtf is up with ppl dyeing flecktarn black??

If you're gonna do that wtf is the point in buying a flecktarn jacket to begin with??

All you end up doing is ruining the remaining stock of flecktarn for the rest.
Why not just buy a plain OD jacket and dye that? Or get a plain black milsurp jacket?

I also fell for the meme. It turned out lighter/less black than I expected. Used 2 packs of Simplicol dye on a 65% cotton/35% polyester parka.

Forgot the picture.

>>12203129
Mine turned out pitch black with the same amount of simplicol. But my parka was 80-20 cotton /poly

>>12201982
Fuck, cool your jets Tyrone.

>>12201953

Not said person, do you know any short-medium hem jackets for smol people?

Is there any way to tell how much cotton/polyester is in these if you cant read the label?

>>12203093
Theres at least tens of thousands of these just sat in storage. Quit acting like they're some precious commodity.

is the only real difference between a new and use one the price, with the intention of dying in mind?
New to this kind of stuff.

>>12204729
price and degree of wear. But even a fairly worn one, like >>12198485 (it's a 1997 model) holds up just fine.

>>12204958
thanks man. I like the worn look so I'll go with a used one then.

>>12203950
And at least half of them were all bought up by UO and shittily dyed black cause no one wanted them at the time so they started shilling for them

>>12203093
>cheap and readily available
>people like the style and cut but would rather have it in black
obviously

>>12200398

>>12199018

Posting mine in this meme thread. I wear original GATs with this fit.

Do you need to remove the drawstrings before dying ? Will they turn black otherwise?

>>12210769
they don't turn black cause they're not made of cotton.
