WHOLESALE TYEDYE APPAREL

There is something funny about tie dye shirts in that so few of us own them but when we see someone wearing one at the beach or the park we wish that we had at least one of them to wear when we feel a little bit crazy.

Tie dye shirts aren’t hard to make and in fact its fun to invite some friends over and have a tie dye party. One thing you will want to do is set up a table outside, because messing with dyes inside of your dwelling is just an all around bad idea.

Start out with brand new t-shirts, because they take the dye better then an older one. There are several types of fabric dye that are available from any art supply store and it is best to start out with the "cold water" variety at first.

Also, you will want to pick up a couple of five gallon buckets and a few pairs of thick rubber dish washing gloves while you are at it. When you tie your shirt off you will get different results depending on if you tie the ties tight or loose, so you might consider doing some experimenting at first.

One great way to learn some quick techniques is to use some cloth swatches, so you don’t ruin shirts while you are learning. The trick is to not go crazy with colors at first until you learn how to use them and you will want to start wit the lighter colors first, progressing to the darker colors as you die your shirt or whatever else it is that you are dying. Also don’t worry if your first try doesn’t work out, because through trial and error, in time, you will be a master at the craft.

T ie-dye clothing today experiences a magical revival. Baby boomers who grew up with tie-dye t-shirts during the flower power and peace movement are now coming into a phase of their lives where they have more time to reflect, remember the values they held dear 40 years ago and have the resources to seek out clothing that will rekindle those valued held before they went into business and were distracted for a few decades.

Dying fabrics has a long history. Men had always the urge to adorn his body to make him stand out. Nature offered many colors and when it was discovered that fibers could be woven into cloth, which then was used to create garments, it was obvious that attempts were made to use the colors nature offered to make those garments more significant.

Initially, dyes, extracted from various plants’ juices, flowers, bark, leaves, etc., were applied to the basic cloth. The problem was that these early dyes did not last through washing or could even be brushed off. This form of coloring has to be considered a form of embellishment and not yet dying.

When it was discovered how a permanent bond of the dye with the fabric could be accomplished dying was born. Different methods were developed how parts of the fabric could be prepared so that they would resist the dye when it was applied to the whole fabric or garment. One way was to apply some wax that would make the fiber un-impregnable to the water based dyes. After the dying process the wax would be removed by heat or some solvent. This method is now known as batik. The other obvious method was to tie the garment into tight knots or fold and tie it tightly so that, when dipped into the dye, some areas could not be reached by the dye. We call this tie-dying.

During a period at the end of the 16th century Japan was divided into kingdoms which were often at war with each other. In recognition of special bravery in battles warlords often awarded officers most prized tie-dyed kimono or kosode. A special variety of tie-dye is used in these kimonos. Larger areas of the fabric are tied off to create white areas which are then filled with ink-drawings of intricate flowers, landscapes and sceneries.

Those gifts have been passed down from generation to generation and some can now be found in museums. Even though the natural dyes have faded, the designs of flowers and detailed scenes and landscapes are still magnificent.

The Nike Dunk Pro SB Mid - Tie Dye is one of the most notable members of the rather extensive Nike ‘Mid’ dunks family. This is a family it shares alongside the likes of Nike Dunk SB Mid Premium Navy White, the Nike SB Mid Premium Television, the Nike Dunk Mid Pro SB Griptape and the Nike SB Dunk Mid Pro Sea Crystal. Of all the items on the ‘mid-size’ Nike dunks I have gotten to use over the years - and these are quite a number - I have to confess that it is the Nike Pro SB Mid - Tie Dye (which I only got to use recently), that I have gotten most enchanted with.

As its name suggests, Nike SB Mid - Tie Dye is one unapologetically colorful shoe, one on which almost all colors of the rainbow make an appearance. Looking at my particular pair, I can identify more than 7 different colors. On the bottom part of the sole, the part that is in contact with the ground for instance, there is yellow - a light hue of it. On the upper part of the sole, where the sole gets connected to the rest of the shoe, there is white - which later makes an appearance on the front region of the shoe adjacent to its tongue, and on its (original) shoelaces. Then there is black, on the front part of the shoe, especially on the patch that connects the different parts that make up the shoe’s upper body. Yellow, this time a darker hue, shows up on the flap that is provided to supplement the shoe-lace as a mechanism for securing the shoe on the foot. Red is the color Nike uses for its trademark ‘tick’ on the Nike Dunk Pro SB Mid - Tie Dye, with green making a showing at the very back of the shoe; where the tie and dye affair is most clearly manifest.

In terms of height, Nike Dunk Pro SB Mid - Tie Dye is quite a short shoe, one which more strictly speaking, would be classified as belonging to the Nike ‘Low’ dunks family. The rise in its gradient is gradual (and modest), starting from the front section of the shoe where the toes go in, and peaking towards the middle section of the shoe, so that (like all Dunks), it gets to its highest at the ‘tip of the tongue’ where the shoe’s upper body meets its wearer’s foot-trunk.

As alluded to earlier, for a tying mechanism, Nike use a combination of the traditional shoelace and a flap mechanism; which seems to be its preferred combination of securing mechanisms in all its modern dunks. The securing flap, of course, in addition to its primary role of keeping the shoe in place also serves the role of adding to colorfulness in this particular pair.

All said and done, Nike Pro SB Mid - Tie Dye comes across as a particularly ideal shoe; especially for casual use.

Tie-dyed blouses or shirts could be associated with the "hippie" style of the early 70s as popularized by some music icons of that time. It was made popular in several countries all over the world. The popularity was easily gained as it was trendy and the looks can be achieved easily from simple to more complex processes.

Tie-dyeing uses bright colors and different dyeing methods in order to achieve the patterned designs in clothing. The basic tie-dye process can be done at home by applying different colors of dye on folded or knotted cloth. When the cloth absorbed the dye already, it is then set off to dry. Patterned lines and designs can be accomplished upon removing the knots after drying. The patterns made by the tie-dyeing process can be seen as a very appealing work of art. Changing the direction of the knots or twisting the material towards one direction could easily tweak the resulting pattern.

There are also other complex methods used by professionals in combining colors, applying dye and making more unique patterns. Different shapes and color combinations are achieved by using non-typical folds and patterns. The designs could also be further accented by rich embroideries or accessories.

As it is associated with bright colors and asymmetric designs, clothes that are tie-dyed are usually worn during the summer season. It is also for this reason that it is more widely used in tropical countries. Shirts and accessories made up from this process can be seen more often in beaches or summer picnics. Aside from colors, the materials that are usually tie-dyed are cotton. Clothes made up of cotton are worn during warm weather. And tie-dyed clothes commonly comes as a day-time shirt or shawl.

But in the middle of other high fashion styles, of flair and glamour, would there still be a place for tie-dyed materials?

As with other fashion styles, tie-dyeing can die slowly as time goes by. Other modern methods in accenting clothes are now being introduced. Too much colors on one attire is no longer eye-pleasing for the present day fashion. In contrast to the numerous bright colors and busy patterns of tie-dyed clothes, what is more popular now are plain black or white. Women would then just accessorized with gold or silver jewelries, belts, shoes and bags. While men’s common dark suit could easily be concluded with a bow or tie and often cufflinks for added elegance.

Even casual wears have changed in trends and slowly adopted the monotonous white and black combination. Though some bright colors are still considered stylish like green, yellow, purple are red, they usually come in one-color dresses and no too-busy designs. Simplicity, clarity and cleanliness direct the current theme of fashion.

But even if modern fashion style would be bidding goodbye to tie-dyed clothes, surely this would be only for a short time. Because fashion has never said goodbye to any style permanently. The designs come and go and after several decades, they will come again with different packaging. So if you have tie-dyed clothes that you have not been able to wear for quite some time, just keep it on your closet. You will never know when you are going to use it just yet.
