Customer Wants Non-Fading Shirts??
What do you tell a customer that tells you they want a navy shirt that will not fade over several washings? I just got that request. I don't know of any navy shirts that don't fade. Are there any? Or is this just a unrealistic request?
Thanks,
Rusty

Re: Customer Wants Non-Fading Shirts?? Polyester doesn't fade. Maybe some of the newer blends will hold up?

Re: Customer Wants Non-Fading Shirts?? Try a direct dyed T from Chouinards Comfort Colors. I have had good luck with these in the past

Re: Customer Wants Non-Fading Shirts?? I don't know if you could guarantee a shirt (garment) from not fading since you don't know how the customer will be washing it.

Re: Customer Wants Non-Fading Shirts?? white shirts don't fade.
I don't think you can give any type of warranty on a shirt that the manufacturer doesn't already offer. Also, there are only a few shirt mfg's so your customer will get the same garments no matter where they go.
