      Hi John, the only way to do that is by dying them I’m afraid. Once the colour has washed out and faded, there is no way to get it back without re-dying the jeans. You can pick up some black jeans dye fairly cheap though!

      Hi! Black can be tough, so you can buy something like a white vinegar or colour sealant and put them in the wash with your jeans, it locks in colour. I’ve not personally done it myself as I try to avoid washing my black jeans for that reason, but I hear good things 🙂

Thanks for your comments =) I read & reply every one =)
