I think probably a magic eraser would work too.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-dark-dye-may-transfer-to-lighter-materials#post-1575457 Fri, 23 Oct 2015 16:38:17 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1575457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had jeans that do this, but never after they've been washed a couple of times. Something like Retayne or a Color Catcher in the laundry might help. My worst recent incident was when I got caught in a surprise rainstorm and the dye transfered between my jeans and the back of my cross body purse. Thankfully it was faux and I was able to scrub the majority of it off with soft scrub. But that makes me think that moisture is the key - as long as you don't get wet or really sweaty, and you've washed the jeans, it's unlikely to happen. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-dark-dye-may-transfer-to-lighter-materials#post-1575451 Fri, 23 Oct 2015 16:31:05 +0000 Anonymous 1575451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay. &nbsp;I'm pretty excited about this jeans. &nbsp;I came late to the Kut from the Kloth table. &nbsp;But they fit me like they were designed and made specifically for me. &nbsp;I want more!!! &nbsp;I seriously considered paying for two-day shipping from Nordstorms. &nbsp;But I couldn't quite rationalize that. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-dark-dye-may-transfer-to-lighter-materials#post-1575405 Fri, 23 Oct 2015 15:20:15 +0000 Angie 1575405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Clients have not complained about dye transfer from the KUTS. Premium denim yes - but not the KUTS.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-dark-dye-may-transfer-to-lighter-materials#post-1575357 Fri, 23 Oct 2015 13:47:01 +0000 Anonymous 1575357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Shedev. &nbsp;Bad news is sometimes the most helpful. &nbsp;I'll be prepared and not panic if it should happen. &nbsp;I ordered three pair (grey, black, and dark navy) with the intent of keeping at least one pair. &nbsp;If the fit is good, I can rationalize keeping two pair. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-dark-dye-may-transfer-to-lighter-materials#post-1575352 Fri, 23 Oct 2015 13:30:37 +0000 shedev 1575352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. I did have it happen with a pair of Kuts. It got on the white rubber part of the bottom of a pair of converse. I used sneaker cleaner and it came off. I also have a black pair that it didn't happen. I did prewash the pair that color rubbed off before wearing. There is a small chance that it could happen. Rit makes a color remover that will most likely get it out if it does happen. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-dark-dye-may-transfer-to-lighter-materials#post-1575327 Fri, 23 Oct 2015 12:27:14 +0000 JayS 1575327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've found that pre-washing in white vinegar helps to set the dye. That said, I've still had dark wash denim rub off on my lighter leather bags. No problem removing it , though. Leather cleaner works. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-dark-dye-may-transfer-to-lighter-materials#post-1575311 Fri, 23 Oct 2015 12:00:11 +0000 Anonymous 1575311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay. &nbsp;Ordering right now. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-dark-dye-may-transfer-to-lighter-materials#post-1575305 Fri, 23 Oct 2015 11:52:15 +0000 Murph11 1575305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Transfer has never been a problem with my dark ink Kuts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-dark-dye-may-transfer-to-lighter-materials#post-1575304 Fri, 23 Oct 2015 11:48:35 +0000 Anonymous 1575304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, Sterling! All the Kuts I've purchased say this, though I've never actually had it happen. It may just be a CYA disclaimer on their part--or it may be real, in which case I'm not much help! Maybe a pre-wash? The only pair of colour transfer jeans I owned were from target, the transfer wasn't bad and easily washed off light clothing, though it did do permanent damage to a cream soft leather bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-dark-dye-may-transfer-to-lighter-materials#post-1575302 Fri, 23 Oct 2015 11:27:57 +0000 Anonymous 1575302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie and others: &nbsp;I want to buy new jeans from Kut from the Kloth in black and dark ink. &nbsp;Both items indicate that "dark dye may transfer to lighter materials." &nbsp;How do forum members deal with this problem? &nbsp;I would typically wear the jeans with a white button down shirt (or something very similar). &nbsp; </p>
