Color progression after 2 days on my dashboard..... I'm 90% sure that I'm going through with it at this point. I don't know the difference between the different kakishibu products (powder vs liquid), but it definitely seems as though this liquid one that I have is VERY light reactive. Also, idk if there would be a difference with me painting it on dry fabric vs soaking pre-dampened fabric

It's certainly 813% more interesting than the initial product.

@untucked I used the powder. The draw back with it is that it's hard to completely dissolve. I have some, not a lot but some small spots of Kakishabu that didn't mix.

Also, I would like to note with this liquid that I'm using, the "odor" is more of a faint, nearly undetectable smell

That finished product will be what the jacket should have looked like in the first place, and as it ages will look kickass. DO IT.

First coat of kakishibu on, what will be called from this day forth, "The WabiSabi Watchman" ***Edit: As it's drying, I can see that this jacket will reach "legendary" status. THIS is exactly what this jacket should have been like from MFSC to begin with. I definitely need more epic pieces for kakishibu'ing lol.

Anyone have a Homebrew for water proofing canvas? Like Filson Oil or OtterWax? Some of the ingredients I've come up with - BeesWax (seems to be the main ingredient), Boiled linseed oil, Paraffin (not sure if I want to use this), D-Limonene (not really sure I know what this is for), Lanolin (an oil from sheep. I use it as a rust inhibitor for my Jeep), pine tar, walnut oil, etc.
I'll be waxing/oiling a pair of Duluth Overalls and other misc stuff. Any Ideas/thoughts?

I think you can buy the Barbour dressing from Orvis (I couldn't find anyone else that sold it locally). I'd avoid the linseed since I think ive read it can smell pretty bad. Otherwise you can look up tin cloth recipes, but I think a lot of the traditional stuff has a reputation for smelling pretty bad. Edit: This one.

It's funny, as I was looking at your pictures of the jacket I was thinking to myself that I need to do this to my Lawless work shirt. I'm pretty sure it's the same one but mine has copper buttons instead of tiger eye snaps.

The results of dyeing w/ kakishibu are surprisingly variable. Japanese traditional fabrics such as those used in 'noren' (Japanese curtains) frequently feature shades of kakishibu which are almost maroon...the kakishibu has a lot more red. I dig your efforts & results @untucked...just surprised by the range of tones/colours.

I've seen what you're talking about.
So, I dipped it rather than painting the kakishibu on. My limited 2 garment experience with kakishibu makes me guess that painting yield darker, more consistent results with more work but less hassle. The research that I've done through my gf on Japanese sites USUALLY show people painting it on. Only times I've seen items being dipped is when a lighter color, or purposely uneven results, are desired. And, I can see why. The "dip and drip" method is MESSY! Like, REALLY messy. I can't see myself going through the trouble of dipping this shirt a second time.
SN: I checked on it this morning, and it's already darkening quite a bit in comparison to the original color.

When I first got it, maybe a year ago this was one of my first thoughts. The tanXtan is ALREADY a beautiful shirt, but I couldn't stop thinking of kakishibu-y goodness, lol.

My Chucks I brushed on they also are darker. My jacket I dipped in a more diluted solution. It didnt seem to help darken it even though I dipped it and dried it 3 times. I've since indigo dyed the jacket. It got a very cool blue and slight green tint with a Kakishabu popping though. If your still not liking the shirt after a few weeks try indigo dying it. But I like the pics of it so much I may buy a natural denim shirt just to Kakishabu it.

I love how the kakishibu took the shirt from tanXtan--> ancient awesomeness in less than 12hrs

I needed some decent snow/rain gear and have been wanting the Filson Tin Cloth Overalls but didn't want to spend $300. So I picked up a pair of Duluth's (wish they were a heavier canvas), made a home brew wax/lanolin mix.
