I was thinking about dying Routemaster, since my wife says the shirt color is lousy on me...

Maybe bluish, greyish or something?

Has anyone ever dyed their shirts?

UPDATE:
Tuesday night, I dyed Routemaster a new color. What do you think?



If anyone wants to know the process for their own experiment:

• I used about 4 oz. of Rit Liquid Dye mixed into a gallon to a gallon-and-a-half of hot water.

• I mixed Royal Blue and Kelly Green. I think there was more blue than green in the mix -- I wasn't too particular on the proportions, because I wasn't too concerned about the color. Anything blueish-greenish or greenish-blueish was okay with me.

• I let it soak for about 40 minutes, with occasional nudging, after about a five minute stir at the start.

• Took it out, rinsed it in warm water, then cold, then threw it into the washing machine.

At first I thought I'd gone far, far too far -- it looked pretty much black as I was first wringing it out. Then it just looked blue-black. The details -- like the aerials -- were not visible anymore.

But by the time it came out of the wash, it was clearly green, not blue. And by the time it came out of the dryer, it was not too dark at all...

It did tweak the colors of the print, but I like it this way. I hope Lehel is not going to see this and be all "WTF did you do to my art?!?" I really dig this design -- but I like the shirt even more with the subdued red bus...

I'll tell ya, I'm looking at Threadless shirts in a whole new way...
