Default semi serious question :o

i was doing a load of laundry, whites to be exact. and when i pulled everything out the embroidery on my $80 phat farm sweater was pink! now i would think if there was something red in the washer it would have turned everything pink. the only thing pink is the embroidery, the rest of the sweater is the same shade of gray. what gives?

any way to get it back to it's normal color? i really dont want to give this sweater to my sister. h:

phat farm uses hypercolor threads in their embroidery.

Did you use cold water? Cold = colored, HOT = whites. What detergent did you use? Those make a difference.

Atleast that's what I learned from watching my mom and gf wash lol.

i'd say take a q-tip & some bleach & bleach just the part that got pinkish, then rewash it

btw....real men aren't afraid to rock a little pink in their wardrobe :thumbup:

i did this and it worked! actually turned out better than when it was still new. white lettering with everything else gray. still a little bit of pink left but nothing really noticeable. mostly around the edges. i had to bleach and wash it twice.


that is all.
