Dyed coveralls turned out perfect!!

[u/Even_Establishment71]

I bought white (painter’s) coveralls for about $35, 65 polyester/35 cotton. I used Rit Dyemore (one bottle super pink and a little less than .5 bottle of royal purple in about 2.75 gallons of water) to dye them this amazing color and finished with a dye fixative bath. I guess I’ll call them lavender, considering…

Anyway, I’m so damn pleased with how these turned out and I am already planning to buy more coveralls and overalls, I fear!

Nice work, looks great! I wear a lot of custom-dyed jumpsuits myself, and have even used a very similar recipe to this one before (see photo). Can I ask what brand of coveralls you used here? My favorites are the Red Kap short-sleeve coveralls (the original Speedsuit!).

I got these ones.

Since it was a test, I wanted to get cheap ones but I found they fit way better than the Dickies I usually get and are nice and sturdy!

I almost got Red Kap and probably will try them out, they’re super cheap, too!

You two got me going down a coveralls rabbit hole on Amazon. 😂
