    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….).

                Description on the photo says western serge.

                  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 .

                                        @trvn17 not marble per se, but supposedly serge can react quite unpredictably when washed. I've seen some people report a sort of rusty discoloration (not necessarily a bad thing) and others a substantial level of fading around the seems and high tension areas. My IHSH-235 remains unwashed after almost a year, but I'll be pre-soaking beforehand and washing inside out when the time comes as I wanna maintain a fresh look. If you're all about that vintage, worn in look you can afford to be a little less precious with how you wash it. It's gonna remain a beautiful shirt regardless, so no need to over think things.

                                          Got it. I was thinking of throwing it in the wash to soften it up some to get a worn in feel quicker
