Ebay is my friend and I have bought many and various items in the past. One of many jackets is this one, worn at last year's Christmas party.



This is a picture, by way of contrast. The Argyle in question on the left, a PC in the middle and a Royal Regiment of Scotland doublet on the right - all green.



As you can see, it is bright to say the least.

It was made by Geoffrey (Tailor).



They use their own button style:



And a close-up of the fabric:



It is quite bright and although I don't dislike it, I would like it a lot more if it was a bit more subdued.

So, what I am wondering is this - Can it be dyed? I am thinking colour more in line with the PC above.

I have done hose, so I know the basics, but this is far larger. Should I leave it to a professional, or would this be within my capabilities?

If anyone has done any large scale dyeing, I would appreciate some step by step pointers.

Regards

Chas
