    Amazing fades @Jcaz6996

    My shirt isn't as far along the road as yours yet but is also showing this faint bronze sheen. I don't mind it too much though.

      Cheers @Lowlander  don’t really have an explanation for bronze like fade I’m sure I’ll eventually break down to fade to grey. What do you think?

        Yes I would guess so too. It will be interesting to see how this one develops. I haven't seen too many pics of this shirt heavily faded yet.

          Could it be due to the use of sunscreen lotion?  Some sunscreen will turn orange or rust when it sits on dark fabric, hence the bronze colour.  But you already said your wore this shirt before it started to get warm last year…... curious to know how it fades this way as well.

              The 23oz olive serge from the 705 and 714 cargoes fades a weird coppery-brown color, just like that. My 162 in the lighter weight didn’t do it, but maybe the current military serge is.

              I am sunk deep into the couch and don’t feel like digging out my pants to take pics, but I think the fabric just does this, and it doesn’t seem to be chemical.

                  Nice looking fade.  Can't really tell, is that the military serge shirt?  Looking like a black IHSH-16 (or a number of other black western….).

                      Denim is a type of Serge…

                        G so do you think that’s a 235 Blk serge ?
                        Or a denim western SBG ?

                          My guess is that is this:

                            That’s a beauty…
                            Maybe BLK serge won’t fade like that then . Why do you think mine has bronze fade in areas ? Sun ?

                              Certain black dyes do "fade" to brown in the sun.  Our superblack definitely does…..

                                Thought I’d throw a picture of mine up. It’s crooked on the hanger,not the pockets.

                                        Is this alright to throw in the wash? Or will it marble like SBG?

                                          soak it before washing, make sure it’s completely wet .
                                          low or no spin and turn inside out .
                                          if you do so , there should be no "problems "
                                          at all .
