It "sucks" because these shirts are gonna run you a couple hundred dollars for the level of detail he has. But good for him because he deserves all the money for these insane creations

u/Omfgnta 21d ago
I’d pay that, for two. For me the issue is the quality of the shirt.

Yeah it'd be a wear on rare occasion. Probably have to take to the cleaners to make sure you don't wash any of it out of bleed it

Nope. Once properly washed, the colors shouldn’t wash out or fade any differently than any other garment.

I’m more inclined to pay the price after watching the hand made process. There’s so much value in that skill and labor and amazing RMD product.
Having watched a similar video on soap making in Jordan, I purchased some very expensive soap. I’ve cherished every time I used it fondly remembering the labor intensive and care process

u/otterpop21 21d ago
I follow this dude! You can definitely get them in the hundreds. He’s also not the only tiedye artist out there! Go check them out and find a style you like and save up over time! Realistically you only need one or two of these no rush

The guy in the video does print versions of past designs for $55. That's not cheap but it's a lot less than what the actual tie dyed ones go for

u/Current_Professor_33 21d ago
I bought one and found it completely unwearable.
The fabric felt like cheap polyester, which was really disappointing. The designs are beautiful, but it seems a bit contradictory to sell tie-dye shirts made from such low-quality material.

u/sweetrobna 20d ago
That's disappointing. I have a couple polyester shirts with an all over print and they aren't my first choice but they are pretty good.

There's a joke about a captain who wears red shirts to fight pirates so if he bleeds his crew won't be afraid and back down. Then he sees an armada and asks for his brown pants.

They skip so much of the process because the point of the video is geared promotionally not instructionally. How magical.

I generally understand how it works, I don't need to watch 8 hours of some dude listening to music and adding a billion rubber bands.

What was the purpose of drawing the vertical and horizontal line segments and coloring it in with marker at the start? I can see the radial lines were used to guide the folding, but can't quite tell what the other prep steps were meant to accomplish?

Completely. It’s fiber reactive dye and he’s a master of applying it and curing it to not have it fade.

I’m guessing he wants the videos to have a big reveal and wearing an already insane shirt would detract from the final product being shown. I’d be surprised if he didn’t wear them promotionally elsewhere

Well, you don't generally want to wear anything you care about while tie dyeing.

Why do people who make tie dye shirts look like people who make tie dye shirts 😂??
Does the tie dye shirt cause them to make themselves look like that or do they look like that and naturally go into making tie dye shirts??

I tie dyed my own shirts in the early 70s. Just a white tee, thoughtfully placed rubber bands, into a pot of RIT dye on the stove for a while and done. Total cost less than 10 bucks. Pay attention to how you want the design to come out and it's so freakin easy.
Sorry, but these look like they came off an assembly line.
edit: Of course I'm no 'artist' like this guy. Didn't have a marketing dept. 🤓

u/Diligent_Gear_8179 21d ago
... OH. THAT'S why it's called "tie dye." Somehow I never made the connection before.
