    Default Best/worst fabric for retaining camo quality

    Which fabrics are best/worst for maintaining camo color quality. I like chamois but camo fades after a few washings not to mention the camo colors are not brilliant to start with.

    Cabela's clothing line seems to hold up the best! I had Bass Pro in the past, there clothing fades quick. Always turn your camo inside-out when washing! Not sure if I answered your question!

    Washing doesn't fade camo nearly as bad as the dryer does.

    Start hanging your camo's to air dry after washing they'll last a lot longer

    I know it takes extra effort but when I can (weather permitting) I hand wash in cold water and unscented laundry (HS Scents) soap and turn them inside out and line dry. Again, weather doesn't always permit this. Seems to help!
