IH-2527J - Brown Cotton Duck Riders Jacket
-
Not sure what I'm going to do with it. The fades are pretty sharp, I'm pretty sure they're not going to even out. I might just toss it or give it away. I'll take pics later but its a real shame. Was one of my favorite jackets
Doug, I'm sorry Man. You know, I read something on SuFu – the same thing happened with a pair of those SEXT11 Tan Jungle Pants. I was jones-ing for those til I read what they turned out like after a wash/dry. They were hideous apparently...wrinkled as fuck and faded in all the wrong places.
I don't do dry clean. I'm too busy for that shit. If something needs dry-clean, I won't buy it. Hence, if something needs hand-washing it, I won't buy it either.
I'm sorry this happened to you, DougNg.

Doug, if you toss it I will take it off your hands for sure!!! Washing Machine = DEATH!

Yeah, the whole reason why I decided to machine wash it was 1. it was getting grody and 2. it does stretch after awhile. Now that I know, I would just cold soak it after awhile
Anybody got any recommendations how to overdye it? Since it's looking kinda weird now, I might just try that

Washing Machine = DEATH!
I've thrown plenty of denim in my washing machine, my 634SRs had a couple of weird fades after the machine but it was nothing major like this
-
Doug, Any possibility of seeing some flicks of the damage?
-
Words cannot describe how pissed off I am right now
I feel you. Sorry brotha that looks like no fun at all. I would try hectic's recommendation on trying to dye it. I do not have much experience with this either but I am sure someone on here is (Tfar)…

Maybe check out Dharma Trading Co. for dye info?
I have had similar problems with the 634SR's and the SEXIH07BK's. I will probably try to airbrush the SR's out. Kind of cheesy, but I think it will work. Temporarily, I've hit the SR's up with some Chartpak Ad makers to knock the really light stuff down so it's not super-obvious. I'm not expecting anyone to be able to get a really macro view of them, so I'm not too concerned about its hokeyness. I will probably re-dye the BK's, but I'm trying to find a REALLY permanent black.
Not sure how much effort you want to put into it, but I'd try to get ahold of a proper theatrical costumer. They might have better ideas on how to re-finish it.
