Overall, I'm happy with the end result, although it's definitely far from perfect. <br /><br />Michele, the dye staying red was a happy accident. The only real let down was the bleeding of red from somewhere... I think from the rope tie on the pants. It got all over and is pretty noticeable. I can see that it's not as easy as it looks. <br /><br />Georgette, I don't think that it looks quite as good as yours. I got some streaking on the sleeves, but as I said in the post, I think I can do a better job next time. <br /><br />Meerkat, I've seen your artsy side many times on your blog. You do good work! :)<br /><br />Adam, thanks! BTW, I was sure to take several pictures in my awesome Conceptual BJJ shirt while we were on vacation at disneyland... but can't find the SD card those pics are on. My factory BJJ shirt is in my son's closet now... a little small for me. Thanks for the feedback, guys! Overall, I'm happy with the end result, although it's definitely far from perfect.

I used to work as a production planner for a garment manufacturing company. We would make the garments and then send the greige goods to the dye house. Certain colors are harder to dye than others. If it was cotton dye, the red thread may be poly and would not take the dye. Hi Steve – Nice job!
