Hi Antonio I have a very old and extremely faded blue jean shorts that are more on the very light side rather than blue to be honest. I want to get them back to dark blue but will black get them more black than blue In this particular case? Should I use rit indigo or should I just go with the black?
I just used this on a pair of faded jeans that I no longer wore due to the fading. I didn't let it soak for as long- I only soaked it for 30 min. The color turned out perfect! For those who are asking about the leather patch on the Levi jeans or the threads- they didn't dye. The jeans look great. I can't wait to wear them again. I have 3 more pairs that I am going to dye, I might add a little bit of denim blue just to try it out but I love the dark blue color that came out with using just black.
Rmrs is the only men's fashion channel that would make a straight to the point, no BS video like this. I watch quite a few men's fashion channels. This is the only one I'm subbed to and recommend to my friends.
Thanks for making this video. I appreciate your practical sense of style. Your channel is helping me move out of my comfort zones and to explore who I am. I was married for a long time, In a sense I subcontracted that aspect of my personality to my wife. Now that the marriage is no more your videos are helping me get in touch with who I am. This helps me answer the question, what is MY sense of style.
thanks for video. Just something I learnt recently about adding washing powders or liquids to top loader washing machine is you don't throw it on the clothes but take of the cap in the center and pour it down there and pop the cap back on. I think all those washing adverts just tricked us into pouring over our clothes, I decided to read the instruction manual and well I learnt something new.
I like dark jeans. You know what I did? I took a black permanent marker and just colored my whole jeans black. It actually worked. I did small strokes.
I never thought of darkening jeans. I like darker jeans though. I've noticed on soap operas the actors always wear darker jeans. I like it and it makes sense. Soap operas are serious and dramatic. It would look out of place for them to be wearing worn out or bleached light blue jeans. Darker jeans are classier and more dressy. And more professional looking.
Seams are often made of a synthetic fabric that doesn’t dye with the regular Rit dye (which one would be using for cotton jeans). So, they’d remain yellow.
This is so helpful! I have jeans that I wanted to dye back to when it looked like when it was new. I think it would be cool to see a video on how to tailor my own jeans if possible.
Color fading is a problem, sure, but a bigger problem is that they wear out so quickly now. Do you have a video on which jeans won't wear out after a few dozen washings? 30 years ago, I remember jeans were almost indestructible. Are there any old school jeans around anymore?
Thank you SO MUCH for this video!!!! I found a pair of brand new Miss Sixty High Binky jeans made in Italy (before they were bought up by a Chinese company) and they were the traditional model, but in this terrible medium blue that looked very cheap and strange. I followed your directions exactly, down to the measuring cup, the tongs, the buckets, etc., and they came out fantastic! This is truly the best video and the easiest to follow - thank you, thank you thank you!!!!🥰🥰🥰
Wow, you made such a quick and simple process into something so time consuming and labour intensive, who'd ever want to do that? I have been using Dylon clothes dye, for years, you simply open the packet, drop it into the washer, place clothing you want dyed (color refreshed), set wash cycle to regular wash and you're done! I always recommend putting the clothes through one entire wash cycle to remove any excess dye that may remain....and of course you may want to use a damp sponge to wipe out the washer.
I have a question. After i have done dyed the jeans and then when i want to wash the jeans in washing machine, can i 'spin' it also? Im afraid it could force the dye out
Bad advice. Don't use black on any color other than black. Navy blue is the safest choice to achieve a very dark jean. Royal blue will give you an unusual looking color depending on what you've started with. If you're ok with that, go for it.
I wouldn't expect this to be any different, but can I do this to jeans that were originally a lighter color? I'm assuming I would have to do the process a few times considering how light they are.
I want to restore an old pair of black Jnco Twin Cannons, but I'm curious how the dye will effect the blue and orange patch on the back pocket (and the pocket & waist tags). I doubt the nylon thread will absorb the dye to the point of being as dark as the denim, but will they be heavily tinted?
Funny I just came back from the dry cleaners. Dropped off my gray jeans to make them darker. They faded after just a few washes and are otherwise in very good shape and fit me well.
Thank you for this video! I have a question about the sewing. Denim usually uses an orange/copper sewing thread, an example is the classic Levi’s logo thread on the rear Jean pockets. Would the orange sewing thread also be dyed in this process? Small detail but I am wondering if black dye would dye orange searing thread. Thank you!
Yes it will dye the thread (the only exception would be if the thread was polyester or something while your fabric is cotton but that's unlikely). There's no way to prevent the thread from being dyed but u can prevent say a back leather label from being dyed by covering it with painters tape for something like that.
@@cindybright7772 that's pretty good advice you gave Garden fruits Cindy but I don't think the tape on the painters tape on the patch would work very well as it would at least bleed through the sides and possibly while soaking and stirring the jeans the tape would come loose. One solution would be to cut the stitching and remove the patch and either re-sew it yourself or take it to a seamstress or seamster. More trouble for sure but that's a guaranteed outcome
Antonio, I just got my first ever pair of dress boots by Thursday. They feel a bit tight around the mid of my foot. Is this normal. Or should I get another size. Shipping is a pain in the butt. I got the Captains btw. Your input would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Antonio! I love your videos and they’ve helped my style choices a lot. On this topic, I’d like to ask if this darkening process would also work on OD green clothing or gear as my particular OD green gear seems too bright. Thank you in advance for your response if ever you find this comment haha.
Good to know. Interesting to watch. But don't see myself doing this on my moderately priced jeans. Is those dye are specific for jeans? Don't see them as readily available at common stores.
@@RealMenRealStyle Thank you sir 😄 Actually your informational videos are to the point and crispy also. We the subscribers always support you and your efforts towards the classic evergreen fashion tips. Make some fashion tips for Indian as well. You can get an idea of my body colour from my d.p.😄
Great tutorial Antonio, well done! Maybe it's an idea to translate 'gallons', as you did with the Fahreneit / Celsius, for the European gents ;) Also, does this apply to only jeans, or more clothing such as sweaters?
May I point out that dyeing works to refresh the original colour and NOT to radically change the colour? Same colour, ok. Darker shade of the same colour, ok. Blue to red... nope. I also noticed some dyeing products make the texture of the jeans stiff. Do you agree, Antonio?
Thank you for this video. What about the patch on the back waistband, and the little red Levis tag on the pocket? Will these take the dye? You don't really show this in the video.
Someone mentioned in another part of the comment section that the Levi patch wouldnt take the dye wouldn’t take the dye and I’m sure the tag wouldn’t either
Wait! So, you're telling me I can get my dress shirts back to black without sending them to the dry cleaners? 😡😡😡 Yeah, I'm never paying someone else to dye my clothes!! Good video, Antonio!! 😃👍
Ok, only if the thread is the same material as the fabric. So, if you're dyeing cotton fabric you'll buy cotton dye. However, the thread may be synthetic so even if you use that cotton dye on the piece of clothing, the synthetic thread won't dye the same as the cotton will. I dyed a white cotton jean jacket green and while the fabric dyed, the white stitching did not. It stayed white. That was perfect for what I was doing, but if I had been trying to make the article of clothing look more expensive or upscale, that stark white stitching on the otherwise dark green jacket would look really tacky. So, it depends what look you're going for, but keep in mind that the thread used may not be the same material at the fabric itself and therefore it may not dye correctly.
Dumb question but here goes. How Can I dye my denim Sherpa darker without dying the Sherpa? I am think to paint the denim only. Lol. I know. I know ) any advice from real men appreciated 🙏
ROD Albano. Try Dylon clothing dye, it’s simple and no mess. His method you’re there for hours and cost as much as it would to dye a dozen pairs of jeans.
if you dye your hands black , a day full of dirt work in the yard will pull it all out. i discovered why people take " mud baths" . the clay will draw the dye out.

History is amazing. 30 years ago we were boiling jeans to have a "dyed" look. Now we save jeans color!

Great idea! By the way always wash jeans inside out to preserve color.
True!
Yes, and cold water only!!
And on delicate if you wanna go the extra mile. Things with buttons and zippers with a strong agitation will beat the colors out sooner than later
Thank you so much, I just saved some jeans that I didn’t want to get rid of. I did all the instructions and my jeans came out new 💯
Wow, this was very cool! This reminds me of my Aunt and Uncle making tie-dye t-shirts in the 1970's, but this is precise!
I never thought of darkening jeans. I like darker jeans though. I've noticed on soap operas the actors always wear darker jeans. I like it and it makes sense. Soap operas are serious and dramatic. It would look out of place for them to be wearing worn out or bleached light blue jeans. Darker jeans are classier and more dressy. And more professional looking.
I'll start tomorrow. But I'll add one more step: repaint the seams yellow with a tiny tiny brush.
Seams are often made of a synthetic fabric that doesn’t dye with the regular Rit dye (which one would be using for cotton jeans). So, they’d remain yellow.
This is so helpful! I have jeans that I wanted to dye back to when it looked like when it was new. I think it would be cool to see a video on how to tailor my own jeans if possible.

Great video Antonio, really enjoy these care and restoration tips. Looking forward to more ✌️
Been watching this channel for a while now. Antonio explains well and very informative. Hats off, Sir.
Thanks RMRS that's just what I needed. Had a pair of jeans that lost color but didn't want to buy a new pair of jeans. Now I don't have to. 💪👍
is the dye fixative necessary?
"You feel like a million bucks every time you put them on." Very true.

I sought to create a comprehensive guide! Your method can work but in my experience doesn't last as long! Good tip though for a fast dye!
I have a question. After i have done dyed the jeans and then when i want to wash the jeans in washing machine, can i 'spin' it also? Im afraid it could force the dye out
Exactly what I need. I was wondering if I needed black or blue

I will definitely be trying this. Awesome video. Thank you!
Sounds good! You should post the before and after in the Facebook group. 😁
Can this method work for flannels that are blue?
If so use black dye or blue dye?
Thank you bro now I can save money on jeans.
Let's make it happen! Thanks. You are awesome.
Super! Thanks Scott.
I wouldn't expect this to be any different, but can I do this to jeans that were originally a lighter color? I'm assuming I would have to do the process a few times considering how light they are.
Will be trying this as I have a pair of trousers I like but have faded.
Finally a great video
Cheers for this vid Antonio 👍
Works with favorite tee shirts too.
True!!!
This is 🔥content. A true pro tip
Thank you for teaching me 👍
I think I'm going to do this with my denim jacket
Will this work if I have some cacki levis 501 and I want to dye them black/blue
Can this also work for other clothing or just jeans. For instance Corduroy pants
I want to restore an old pair of black Jnco Twin Cannons, but I'm curious how the dye will effect the blue and orange patch on the back pocket (and the pocket & waist tags). I doubt the nylon thread will absorb the dye to the point of being as dark as the denim, but will they be heavily tinted?

How about the tan stitching? Does that also turn black or remain its color?
Thanks, I think I'll try this 🤔
Amazing thank you!!!
I think I'll do this to my denim jacket
Black jackets are very stylish. ;)

If I wanna dye some light green jeans to a more dark olive green, would I still use the black??
Way better than RITs video
Hey Antonio, is it effective to darken other colors of fabric with black dye
I like it, straight to the point, great detail and explanations

No - general dye you can use on anything, yes, available in store!
So would I use navy blue for black jeans?

What can i use if i dont gave a color fixtave?

i gonna try this thanks rmrs
Awesome - let me know what you think.

Maybe it's an idea to translate 'gallons', as you did with the Fahreneit / Celsius, for the European gents ;)

It's a unit of measurement for liquids, not a brand. Just convert gallons to liters or whatever you use.

You are supposed wash jeans inside out. I know people that take their blue jeans to the dry cleaners.

After washing jeans a few times, they start to stink. This had been in several machines.

this is going to darken everything on your jeans, including the white threads that make jeans look cool.

@Ronin 98 is there any jeans worth 300$? A pair of suitsupply cashmere dress pants isnt even 300$
If u dye jeans u loose the white cotton colour coming through which means they no longer look like denim, just blue cotton trousers
before actually look better than after .... and with so much effort, prefer just buy a new pair
Because that style or fit was temporary and you can't find the same one. Fit is king.
My blue Levi's turned really black and I followed this exactly. Ruined them.
The only amount/number in this video that made sense to me was; "2 buckets" and "1 jeans". Damn imperial system lol
The jeans appear to have lost all character once dyed.
Is it permanent?
I bleached my jeans for the opposite effect. I think the lighter jeans look better personally
Do you have a video on what to do with your jeans to keep them from fading in the first place?
if you dye your hands black , a day full of dirt work in the yard will pull it all out. i discovered why people take " mud baths" . the clay will draw the dye out.
Good advice, but we also wash pants way too often
True!
Works best if you pay more than $180 for a pair other wise your better off buying new ones.
Legend is that a guy who paid $179 read this comment and threw out his faded jeans. Nooooooo! :)
But what about the threads?
