I bought a MC shirt from The Cat last year, and within three to four washes and dries it faded pretty badly. Hence my washing my Crye stuff then putting it in the dryer for only 10mins with other clothes to warm the moisture up, then pull it out and hang dry it.
Strange, thats exactly what coveralls that have been treated with flame retardant will do, when you dry them with those fabric softener sheets in the machine.
