dyeing jeans

[IM SOLE CRAZY]

[mmmdonuts]

So, in an effort to better jean consumption, I feel there should be a thread dedicated entirely to OD Black Jeans of all sorts - skinny, slim, regular, baggy, etc.

Notable examples:

Cheap Monday OD Skinny

OAK OD Skinny (they did slim and tapered versions)

Levi's 501 OD

Levi's 505 OD

Uniqlo T-000 OD

Uniqlo S-000 OD

RAF by Raf OD

feel free to contribute pics/information in an effort to better help serve the public.

Also - help me find more black OD jeans with inseams greater than 34. Cool.

Naked & Famous has a pair of black OD skinny jeans in stretch denim. They also just came out with one that's the same model but with a really nice deep purply-blue OD. Neither one of them are selvedge though, but their inseams are 34 or 36 (I can't remember which).

i'm pretty sure there is a self edge x triple works (at least i think it was triple works?) od collab in the works

saw a sample pair when i was at the store

[nobertxrolley]

Kiya, couldn't one just over-dye a pair of Iron Heart 634's black to get the same affect (Minus the nice and tan leather patch)?

Those are gorgeous. And an aside.. how are the IH Super Blacks achieving the super black?

bummed that the newer superblacks arent selvage

[hype_killz]

so how do black overdyed jeans fade? anyone got some pics?

also don't forget the OD prps selvage jeans

[kiya]

I believe there is a bit of a misunderstanding of what "overdyed" actually refers to.. Neither those DJ-HR01 jeans and PRPS jeans both posted above are overdyed. Those are both just made of black denim.

To overdye you must garment dye the denim, and usually this is done POST production so after the jean as been cut and sewn together, but it can also be done to the denim fabric before it's been sewn.

my god - is this still coming up - the amount of companies and shops still misusing the term 'overdyed' - gagh.

[JoyDiffusion]

Im sure that Nom De Guerre do one too...

Here's the NdG overdye... Really a terrific quality denim. Wear them about once or twice a week, but they're getting some great combs. I'd take fit pics, but it doesn't get bright enough in London! Even with a flash, they just come out as a silhouette.

APC just put out Petite Standard overdyes... look sexy as fuck. Wish I had the money for 'em

[034936]

^^ online link at all?

[ikwhy]

here's the link...

but its not too descriptive...

anyone with more info?

[scoobysti]

are you referring to the petit standard under new items? it says washed black...not overdye

[jeepster]

nah, they're black overdye. Heavy denim, on par with the raw. Look absolutely great. May cop soon, dunno yet.

[ikwhy]

damn... i already have the petit standards in indigo...

but i love the fit... and let's not talk about the pricing...

[AL-9000]

these?

http://uscheckout.apc.fr/browse.cfm/4,168.html

[jeepster]

that's them.

If I'm not too lazy tomorrow I'll snap some pics @ APC if I head over that way.

[AL-9000]

that would be sweet

the picture they have on the site just makes them look like the regular black

[ikwhy]

yeah... and for them to be described as washed black dont help too...

Guys, did you read my post above?

Let me reprint it for you:

And let me also add that neither those APCs or KMW jeans are overdyed, they're just black jeans.

So how does OD denim wear compared to typical denim? Does it ever really begin to show any contrast or fading?

[iamstarwars]

I thought an overdye was just dyeing the fabric after it has been dyed a first time. Garment dyeing is when you dye, well, the garment, but I always thought they were different (ie fabric doesn't equate to garment).

Both are correct, but for instance take a look at the selvedge id on the KMW jeans that are referenced above, it's bright white. That means the fabric wasn't dyed after being woven and therefore it's not OD.

[Abattoir]

so do they even bother to dye the weft (or is it the warp threads?) threads with what ever indigo they use if they are gonna be over-dying them anyway?

[chambo2008]

didn't think those apc were overdye
