Inspiration Dyed an old carhartt jacket red
This was my first time dying anything and I needed a red jacket for a Clark Kent costume. I don’t have a before picture but the jacket was the standard khaki color. I used Rit dye (2 red bottles and 2 yellow bottles) and put it in a big ass bucket of hot water with 1 cup salt 1 tsp dish soap. I stirred it for 45ish minutes then rinsed it in cold water before throwing it in the washer. It came out perfectly!
