yeah, ive been experimenting with dyes (using RIT liquid). I dyed several pairs of Levis Cords using a color combo of black and dark brown. The first pair was 50/50 and they came out kinda deep purple-ish black. I went from there and think i finally found the correct mixture for a perfect SA color...

Can you share the mixture (or ratios of brown and black)?

I've started playing around with some in-wash dyes and have come up with dark brown but with a slight purplish tinge. Unsure how much black to mix in.

Having the actual pants, make sure they are "grey" enough with your dye. In most light these pants look like a darkish grey. The actual amount of brown is very very minimal.

thanks Exit. All the pairs Ive experimented with have been grey.

As for the mix, its an 80% Dark black with a 20% dark brown (i have the measurement in liquid ounces written down somewhere).50/50 is how we get the purplish tint...

Returningson,

Please see my thread here for the dye process I used - http://www.ajb007.co.uk/topic/39520/for-sale-all-saints-corduane-iggys-skyfall-lodge-corduroys/


And here's a comparison pic of my dyed pair (on the right) with a pair of Bitter Chocs (on the left) -




Kind regards,
