2) Not even using umpiring pants (Dickies, JC Pennys, etc.)
3) Die variation at the same manufacturer

etc..., but even if you control ALL of those, that does not make the grays all the same. Because heather gray fades, badly and quickly. You could buy two pairs of official ASA lot-dye-controlled pants, put one in the closet and wear the other for a season. By the end of the season, they are a different color. Except, maybe for you guys in Seattle where you never have any sun...
They really fade here in East Texas. Pretty grey where the belt line is.

I don't really have a problem with the fading - I see a much bigger problem with the shrinkage.

My problem is the opposite. I have lost from 182 to 160 and 34 inch waist
would slip on me if I did not wear the shirt holding belt.
