This is my first blog. I just have a question if anyone else has experienced fading on black pants. I have washed them in cold water only and use non harsh detergent and still they fade after just a few washings. I really love the way her pants fit but I am so disappointed on their fading.

i turn mine inside out and wash in warm water.
i also tumble dry on medium heat.
i have not had this issue , but they have faded over time.....over a year old or so. i then just use them for around the house or exercise and purchase new ones for "going out."

I forgot to also specify that I do turn them inside out but like you I use them around the house. Thanks for your info.

Welcome to the boards!
You could try one of the RIT products to bring the black back, so to speak.

@Lisa G13 I LOVE my Women with Control pants. They are the most comfortable pants I own. However, they do fade, for me. But I don't mind, because I only wear those for everyday, casual wear. If I need to dress up, I wear Ponte Pants that don't fade.

Yes .... after a few washings, SOME of them have faded a bit. I also have some that haven't faded at all.
My guess is it's the quality of the cotton the particular manufacturer used since they were different styles / bought at different times.
For everyday pants .. not really an issue for me ... considering the price.

I own and wear a lot of WWC and yes, some do fade a bit, but I've never felt that it was noticeable enough to stop wearing them.

They don't shrink or get misshapen in the dryer? I always hang to dry, but will happily throw them in the dryer if they can handle it.

I wash dark fabrics (turned inside out) only in cold water and dry on perm press, Never had any adverse results. I don't wash anything in hot water or dry in a hot dryer.
