I think the best way to fade DPM is to just wear it and wash it as often as possible.

lol, it was grade 1 'used' as they classed it

i heard washing it on a hot wash fades it, but doesn't shrink it because of the material...? anyone know anything about that?

Re: Fading Brand New DPM?

Leave it in water for a few days and then leave it in the sun to dry. The water will magnify the sunlight (to some degree) and there will be a natural degree of UV breakdown of the colours. Roll in some dirt, scrape across grass, wear it as often as possible and wash on a high temperature. It won't be instantaneous but they'll fade over time.

Put some rope on the towbar of your friends car, hold it.. and get him to drive through a nearby field? in the rain maybe?

Wash them, but for the love of god don't use any kind of washing liquid!!!

Most household detergents have brighteners in them, to enhance colour. You certainly don't want that!
