    Default Dyeing Jeans

    Not sure if I spelled that right, but has anyone had any luck dyeing blue jeans? I have a pair of jeans that I bought at the Salvation Army, they were in like-new condition. I love them, but, I can't find the style anywhere. They are in good shape, just getting pretty faded, can I just buy a package of dye and make them dark blue again?

    I re-dyed some faded jeans with RIT denim dye. It worked and looked decent but has faded again over the washes. However, I didn't use hot water to dye like you're supposed to because of a fear of them shrinking. With hot water your results may be much better.
