I Recreated A Luxury Techwear Jacket On a Budget | DIY Gradient Dye

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Using a £9.99 eBay jacket by Merrell I attempt to recreate the iconic look of the gradient-dyed Acronym x Nemen J28-K jackets, which today cost between $2000 and $3000, using easily-available materials. Hope you like the result!
Thanks to Rit for sending over the Dye More for Synthetics I used in this video! Check out the range: bit.ly/3onynCN

    ant can actually make and edit these videos in a few hours, he takes weeks to upload because thats how long it takes him to come up with a new thing that starts with "A" to say at the start of his videos

    There's a lot of Tutorials out there on Ombre dyeing, one tip I can give is to do what you mentioned--dip only the darkest part, and then put more of the item in the dye as time goes along, that way the dye will both be weaker/dye less and then you'll have less time spent in the dye. you can also accordion fold the jacket rather than crumpling it in for a more even dye effect, etc. I love tie-dying items and dyeing items for a more desaturated look(I have a lot of clothes I've done this too) and there's also other dyes besides RIT that can be more vibrant.

    A different color, or even more green would be sweet. Have you considered ice-dying methods? another fairly simple way to add color to a piece. Cropping a jacket is pretty daunting, primarily because it's difficult to reverse. Perhaps as a "final boss" type of modification? Adding a jacket sling, or other functional "upgrades" seem like great options: -Could we modify the hood to be a bit better? Structure, shade? -Could we add an internal pocket, for a phone/wallet?

    i mean if you've never dyed anything before and you're trying to make a super epic gradient, you can't expect it to go perfectly on the first try - those are tricky. still ended up with a nice color jacket for cheap so i'd say it was a success

    If you wet the jacket before putting it in the dye it would help the gradient spread more evenly and it will bleed throughout the fabric

    Hello!! I'm a gas mechanic and the company I work for, well, they kind of suck when it comes to providing gear. Im looking for FR rated gear. Preferably things like functional cover alls. I wouldbt mind investing in a couple peices I can wear on and off the job. It's kind of away from the typical hiker inclement weather rain resistant stuff, maybe even totally opposite as I need some fire resistant... But I think it's something cool and interesting to look into as you are probably someone who would hear about brands or projects that would be inovating with this kind of stuff.

    To get the gradient effect a little better do the opposite of what you did. put the bottom of the jacket in first then as time goes on lower the jacket more and more.

    You might want to look into Synthrapol in order to remove factory sizing from clothes before dying. Factory sizing on any type of clothing (synthetic or not) will block any external dyes to an extent. Moreover, if you are dying synthetics, you might want to find an acid based dye so it’ll take better.
