From advising to use both natural and polyester dyes (as Condura is a hybrid of those fabrics to) to giving tips on the specific set up details and preparation equipment, your input from your own experiences was invaluable to helping out others who want military-grade gear but in different preference colours of our choices. Thank you!

Kelly green is the only color used. When I choose Kelly green I thought it would dye the gear that color and let some of the camouflage pattern show through. What happened after a half hour in the dye is the dark forrest/spruce green color shown in the video. The pack covers color is more like the Kelly color. I was surprised at the darker green shade, I liked it so I dyed my other gear the same color. The black color appearance is do to my photography, in person the color is dark green. I think if you try using the iDye Poly you can get good results. Pick the color you like and dye for 10-15 minute increments, check the color along the way to get the shade you want.

Trying to make it look like it came from the hiking store instead of military surplus. I'd like to try the OD color one day it's a favorite of mine for gear.

The waist are done in cold water so it won't deform the foam padding ??? How long items are left in the dye ??? Thanks for this awesome tutorial.
@Unit13FREMSLT
4 жыл бұрын
I used heated water for the formed foam belt. Do not rinse it with cold water while the belt is hot it will collapse as shown in video. It must cool down to room temperature before rinsing with cool or cold water. Time left in the dye depends on what color depth you are trying to achieve. The longer in the dye, the darker/deeper the color will be. It is always best to check the color every 10-15 minutes. When unsure it is better to remove the item, save the dye bath, process the item through the rinse cycle, let the item dry. If the color is not to your specifications run it through the dye bath you saved until desired results are achieved. Let us know how it turns out.

Thank you so much for such an informative video. Really helps to see the before and after, and learn from some trial and error with the padding etc. I bought Rit synthetic graphite dark gray, however before using wondering if it’s better to use the type of guy you’re showing. Do you believe I will have similar results with this synthetic dye. And, if I do use the one that I have which isn’t the type of day you’ve got should I also add the regular natural nonsynthetic along with also from Rit? I’m dying some thing that has 60% rayon. Have you noticed items shrink if they’re of a natural fiber? Cotton does in hot water usually. From what I read rayon shrinks every time you wash in hot and especially if you put it in dryer hot. What do you think?
@Unit13FREMSLT

As I understand it the natural materials will shrink from the heat. And as shown in the video some of the synthetic materials will. You're better off testing on a non-essential item first. I don't have experience with the RIT dye. It's always better to follow the manufactures instructions. As noted in the video, correct temperature and submersion time are essential.

Thanks, the information in the video is very helpful. How did the colors hold up? Did you have any problems with them washing out in the rain or rubbing off to clothes when sweating? I'm still searching for information on how to dye the UCP into something in the direction of MARPAT, but a little bit darker. I'm from Germany and something like our Flecktarn works very well in our dark forests. One guy has a video with a great looking color, but he just mixed it up without writing down any measurements. I think writing down the color mix, temperature and time are essential in case you want to dye more items in the same color, so they match. I hope I can find the right color, otherwise, I will just dye it over in OD and go without a pattern. I'm more of a hiker and bushcrafter, so camouflage is not really a necessity.

So far contact with the outer layer of cordura I haven't experienced transfer, the part of the fabric with the polyurethane coating does transfer dye. It seems to uptake a lot of dye. Anything that has contact with it will pick up a little or a lot depends on the item. I agree, the formula must be documented for future reference and to pass the info along to others. I use my gear mostly for hiking as well. I was trying to make it not look so military. The only suggestion I have is if you're trying to keep the camo look dye for short time frames and keep checking the color. I think that would give you the best results. Thank you for watching.
