I have a few pics of it, but am hoping to get some better quality ones of the gi owner wearing it. As for tie-dye, beleive it or not, there's a company called HappyKimonos who offers this service. It's spendy, though... about $85 per gi. I did the purple gi this weekend and it turned out great. I have a few pics of it, but am hoping to get some better quality ones of the gi owner wearing it.

If I see a bunch of bjj guys running around with tie-dye i'll know where it all got started. You’re going to be a dyeing pro soon.

Glad to hear about the chocolate gi. I bought the Dharma Dye Fixative. I haven't used it before, but it's supposed to lock in any rogue color. I picked up imperial purple for Jaime's gi, and also some charcoal grey and some pewter for myself. I'll post pictures once it's done... probably this weekend. Hi Georgette.

What dye fixative did you buy, and which dye color? (I assume one of Dharma's procionMX dyes?) Also fyi after a second wash, haven't had any problems with the brown gi.. and my training partner's white gi came out sparkling clean after a wash too. PHEW! Keep me posted!!! :) Very cool– can’t wait to hear how it comes out. What dye fixative did you buy, and which dye color? (I assume one of Dharma’s procionMX dyes?)
