Besides, if the dye is all that touchy to ordinary laundry practices, it is their (the manufactuer's) fault.
I say it is the heather gray color - it just does not stand up more than a couple of years to constant exposure to the sun. Most dress slacks don't have such constant exposure to the sun as part of the expected use. Neither do most other uniforms that Fech specializes in (USPS, e.g.). Umpire uniforms are in the sun when being worn for their expected use. Either the manufacturers don't use a sun tolerant dye (too expensive?), or heather gray is a inappropriate color choice for such use.
Whatever, it fades. I was just wondering if the darker gray is more sun tolerant.
