Stack of premium white blank apparel for OB Tie Dye, packaged and ready for ice dyeing

1. Premium Blanks Only

We source high-quality tees, hoodies, and more from trusted brands. Our goal: soft, durable fabrics that hold color beautifully and feel amazing wash after wash.

2. Prepping for Perfection

Each piece gets a soda-ash soak to set the stage for vibrant, long-lasting color. We wring, fold, and tie using techniques like geodes, spirals, or scrunching—every fold changing how the dye melts and spreads.

3. The Ice Dye Magic

Here’s where the fun begins:

We layer ice over the fabric, sprinkle on our Dharma Trading Co. fiber-reactive dyes, and let the melt work its magic.

As the ice slowly dissolves, colors blend, separate, and flow in ways no brush or bottle could ever replicate.

This is what gives each piece its wild, watercolor-style look—100% unique, never to be repeated.

4. Wash, Rinse, Repeat

After the colors have fully set, we carefully rinse and wash the fabrics so they’re soft, colorfast, and ready for real life. No scratchy tie dye here—just smooth, wearable art.

5. Finishing Touches

We sew on custom hem tags, hand-press each piece, package with hang tags and stickers, and ship it straight to you.

6. Made-to-Order Options

Some of our pieces are one-offs, dyed in the moment. Others are made-to-order—so if you see processing times, it’s because we’re literally making your piece from scratch, just for you.
