Anyone here tried sun-fading a pair of olive-brown Cigar (as opposed to the modern super dark nearly #8 Cigar) Aldens?

I’m thinking about giving it a rip with this pair.

Probably the one and only time Dr G's went fishing. But the granddaughter wanted to go, lasted all of 25 minutes.

Wow, that's a tough one IC. For my money, the whole point of fading cigar is to get to olive-brown. Where do you go from there?

I honestly don’t know. I think I just want to nudge it ever so slightly lighter.

My concern is that it'll lose the olive undertones.

I say pass but if you just have a fade jones I think I recall seeing you post a gorgeous pair of Indy 8's that might scratch the itch ?.
