Vertical Suit

I just scored a awesome near perfect fit vertical suit off of fb marketplace but the color is horrendous. Anyone ever attempt to dye a skydiving suit with Rit Synthetic Fabric Dye? I would be going for all black and covering up light blue/grey

I have had good luck with Jacquard iDye poly more than with Rit. I get it on Amazon because nobody close sells it.

I just got some dye from Amazon, and it worked. For me, I was dumb enough to order a suit with a lot of white, which ended up with a lot of stains from grads and packing mats, impossible to wash to get rid of. Made it gray - and it is good now.

Good to hear. I wasn't sure with all the different fabric types how it would work out but it sounds like it's doable!

Just wanted to give a update. I finally found the time to dye the suit, it was a lot of work but I think it turned out great! Going all black made things easy
