Better just to give up and dye the tshirt black.you can't polish a turd, but you can roll it in glitter...

I've used a product called Nitor to remove existing dye, worked ok and might help in getting a more accurate colour.

I put the insole back in, walked around and it cured the annoying squeak. Apparently a lot of times it's a minute shift of the insole from your step that creates a tiny air pocket or a slide that creates it. I read it on a shoe forum somewhere but it worked for me. I was about ready to retire them it was so annoying.

I'm looking for a tee made out of a coarser weave that drapes well and isn't sheer; basically a short sleeve knit is what you can imagine. Colors can be black white or anything in between.
If luc weren't 50000 bucks a pop that's what id get. What fits the bill? Indisent tees seem too short and fit me a little wonkey and not drapey

Indeed a perfect solid grey is hard even to print.
In the past the velvet black has given hints of blue, until I made a stronger solution. So I may swerve the Denim!

Eton, were you using the Dylon Pre-dye? 'Cause there's no foul smell when i used it.

fading of black color on cotton fabric
Hello, anyone can tell me how such a fading can happen on a cotton fabric? no wear at all, I just returned this jacket day after I recieved it and seller Pollyanna says that's how il looks now out of the box
for ref, its Rick Owen's Stenberg padded jacket from AW11/12: description says "waxed cotton"
Many thanks to whom can help me understand

I can't speak specifically to your jacket but I have some pieces with that kind of pinkish fading on black cotton that came from (I assume) fading from sunlight. I used to work at a retail store and we learned the hard way that during the summer we had to rotate the t-shirts in the window because they would get a bleach effect on the shoulders.
My second guess would be an inconsistent dye job. Black dye has a purplish/pinkish tint to it when it's diluted....but I don't know if there's any way to pin down what might have caused it.Originally posted by mizzarSorry for being kind of a dick to you.

Thanks,
problem is Pollyanna says that's the result of me wearing the jacket (I kept it less than 24hrs) and refuses to refund...
does anyone know what means do I have to state my rights?

This is a definite long shot, as I don't remember what I'm looking for exactly. A few months ago on Vimeo I watched a video from some Russian streetwear store that filmed this army of teens (all decked out in streetwear) spray painting some wall, fighting an opposing army of teens, and then base jumping out a window.
I don't know if anyone remembers/has seen this. Any insight (though I realize that is unlikely) would be appreciated.

what really pisses me off is that Pollyanna staff keeps saying that jacket shows "creases", and that these are unquestionable signs of wear. The accuse is simply ridiculous: they sent me the jacket folded in a small box, and that’s how I shipped it back (stamps on shipping papers show I kept the jacket for less than 24hrs): even a child knows that if you fold a jacket - moreover if padded, hence more voluminous, not to mention the fact that fabric is waxed cotton - of course it will show creases. I recieved it with creases, they got it back with creases. This is how shipping clothes works. Plus, pics of the jacket on their website shows creases as well:
Also, if I kept the jacket those fadings would have occurred anyway and I would turn out in having a 1400+ jacket with an evident fabric defect, against which European laws protects me for 2 years.
I told so to Pollyanna, no answer whatsoever from them, they only keep sending me iphone low-res pics to justify their refusal to refund me.
I need to know the legal grounds on which I can obtain the refund: if anyone has any useful information, please help me. Thanks
