That would definitely improve the No Boundaries ties.

Probably a reputable maker. I picked up a suit from this label a month ago and it was by Caruso.

I would have replied Jerry Garcia just to **** with you.

That would be a long strange trip man, going from being in a band to making ties?

Was there a way to get pee stains out of pants? Bought a zegna su misura 15milmil15 with that side, suits in otherwise great shape

Oxi soak has worked fine every time I've tried it.

Speaking of methods,I picked up this Belstaff for myself.
7.99 and half off if you can believe that .
Thing is not sure if I can pull off white ,wasn't there somebody doing a dye job recently?
I don't wanna ******* up ,just normal cotton no wax so should be easy enough.
What you guys think,blue,green or black.

I've dyed lots of stuff and it usually turns out ok. Most of the time the thread will stay original color because it's poly so I think it would look best if you'd dyed it light grey/olive or something like that.

I've picked up a couple of Caruso made Vassi as well
The key is the "couture" line. The standard line isn't anything special

I'll echo what Frenchy said re them being no help - although I actually talked to the owner but he just gave me some answer about how they use different partners for different things and left it at that. Zero help haha

I really think you should leave it as is. That color is great, super versatile.

As was mentioned, the cotton will likely have no problem taking the dye unless there's a hidden discoloration somewhere, (e.g. bleach, detergent, attempts to spot clean a stain). Depending on a bunch of variables like time to soak, the color dye used, temperature of water, etc. you may not get the desired results you want. The stitching will very likely not take the dye, in which case you'll have a jacket with contrast stitching. That generally looks weird.
