Looking at getting these in black, do they fade after a few washes or stay true black, thanks

I have both the black and dark gray. They look true black to me. So far, no fading from washing and the pocket flaps stay flat. I usually wear black or FDE khakis, especially when I am in country. But they look like crap after several cycles through the wash and the pocket flats tend to curl, requiring a lot of ironing. So I switched to these TRU-SPECs and I've been happy since. I like the rip-stop material also.

I do not own a pair in black, but I have had navy, coyote, and o.d.. The color seems to hold up quite well even after many washes, even without turning them inside out as is recommended in the wash instructions.

I've washed mine three times (with all clothes of all different colors, including whites) and they stay true black! I think the biggest issue, like with most black colored clothes, is lint. but it isn't too bad.

They are black but depending on exposure to sunlight over time, it could fade a little bit.

No, the color do not fade when you wash those sheet, but I only wash them once.

I bought a blue one, and it is VERY see through. I am not sure about the black. Sorry!

They stay black - always wash in cold water. My son in law loved his that got for his birthday. They really look nice.

No they don't fade but the handles don't do very well with the heat. over the time the heat melt partially down them.

No they do not pull after a few washings. As to feeling like silk, I think they feel great, but silk is a matter of taste ( close to silk)

Yes- I have washed and dried them a few times, and they are great. Wear them all the time- even to bed! Love them!!!

I have on both the black and the gray ones, I don't think they have shrunk at all and I have washed them several times. I think they are some of the best sweatpants I have bought, very comfortable, warm and thick material so I feel they are made well to last.

I throw them in the washing machine, color cycle, warm. Dryer, low heat. No problem. They work great.

Yes, they do. Mine didn't fade either - but I also never put them in the dishwasher.

I have tossed mine in with a load of clothes on warm several times and they seem to be holding up just fine. The only thing I've noticed is a bit of fading.

They didn't shrink too much when I washed them, before I embroidered them. I do plan on ordering more.

That's what I was aiming for but they were very dark... almost black. I did keep them however becuse they still look great!

I found them to be fine after washing. I washed them with a regular load of laundry (front load) with the same methods and detergents regularly used.Nothing feels as good as when you first get them, but I was definitely satisfied with the product following the washing.Good Luck.Leon

Bought these for my boyfriend. I've washed them a few times now, but never dry them and haven't had any problems with them shrinking.

They do shrink after drying but it's a good thing indeed coz after wearing thise couple of times they become real loose. So i just dry them after wash.
