Hi all,
I'm fed up with my dockers, I can only buy white dockers because all others fade like so crazy. I were straight through thigh and straight leg opening. Is there any company that sells these "chinos" I guess they are called. It's for the work place. I like dockers, especially the white ones, because you can wash them and dry them in any washing/dryer machine and then iron them. I dont like non-iron, dry clean, stuff.

Please help me find some pants like in grays and steel blues which i can wash and dry and iron that don't fade. I badly need them. :(

He was deliberately being unhelpful.

Rather than look for 'quality' cheap brands that won't fade, consider that you might be washing with the wrong detergent or using too high a temperature. Even better would be to avoid gray and blue, which fade more easily than most other colors.

Have you tried the Ralph Lauren classic chinos (not the fancy ones)? From my experience; they can take a battering, colour does not fade and easy to wash-and-dry.

They cost about £60 in the UK retail and you will probably find that them for about $60 in the US (even less from an outlet or store sales).

Ah ok I'll use cold always now for washing. I use "All" unscented. Is All known for fading?
Thanks for that I was confused by that guy.

Thanks man I'll look into that!
