   *What about using a dye remover (like Rit)? Might be a little less harsh on the fabric but have the same effect as bleach.

   *Somewhere here on Threads Online you may find instructions on a method that is used by costumers in Hollywood. It involves washing the garments with very hot water, bleach, and rock salt. I'm sorry I don't know exactly where to find this. Anyone?

   *In Readers Reply P. 14 of Threads No. 82 is a method for aging denim. Sounds like it will work.

   *Ritz Dyes actually has a product especially for fading denim. It should be available where you buy your dye.
