I have a 5XL Blue Ignant vest, and its pretty sick. It would be SICKER if it were purple like last year's. I was wondering if I soaked it in red food coloring would it purple because i know that red and blue make purple? Should i try this.

i wouldn't use food coloring, maybe try rit dye. it's a fabric dye, so it would work a lot better than food coloring. and definitely try it on something that has a similar fabric before you do it to something so expensive

well regardless what you dye its going to fade eventually. i dont think you could dye something permanently unless you used way more legit dyes than RIT stuff from a grocery store. To be honest i just want this kid to go for it and share results.

Definitely use red fit dye.. I did the same thing earlier this season using fit die and the color hardly faded. I used black and left it in for only a little bit so now it's really dark blue

It's not going to work, the fabric for the ignorant his year is nylon i think, and fabric dyes only really dye cotton.
Oh and I dyed my FandO black it looks sweet, I'll post some pictures in a few days if you gust want.

yea, so fabric dye isnt going to work, and food coloring will probably just wreck it.
