Clothes Dyeing Question

Bredabe · 2025-09-25 10:50:04

This is my fav casual/walking jacket, it got bleached in the sun. Given the make up of the jacket is it worth attempting to dylon this(or any other machine fabric dye)? They dont seem to make this anymore, so I would love to rescue it if its worth the effort and money.

You can definitely dye it but make sure you use a dye remover first (NOT bleach, there's a specific product - if push comes to shove, you can try with a colour run remover - this type of thing - but you may have to repeat the treatment) to even out the colour, otherwise it'll come out blotchy. Maybe you'll like the base colour even before dyeing it again, I guess it will come out taupe or beige.
