Color fading after multiple washes

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your North Sails Defender Chinos remain in top condition, follow standard care protocols for high-quality cotton trousers. Wash them in cold water to prevent shrinking and fiber breakdown, and turn them inside out before placing them in the machine to protect the fabric surface. Avoid harsh bleach or heavy detergents. For drying, it is recommended to air dry or tumble dry on a low setting to prevent heat damage. When storing, hanging the trousers by the waist or folding them carefully will prevent unnecessary deep creases in the gabardine weave.
