- Dyeing a Faded Patagonia P6 LoPro Trucker Hat
I wanted to share to share the results I had using Rit dye to restore my 4 year old Patagonia hat. While I wouldn’t say it looks brand new. I can say it now looks more like it did about a year or two after I purchased it in 2015. Basically, worn in.
It was super easy using the dye. There are only a few steps to follow depending on the the fabric type. I used salt but if the fabric is silk or wool you might need to use vinegar.
I did end up dyeing my hat three times, each time i allowed the dye to soak in longer than before. I had the best result after using really hot water and soaking it for over an hour before rinsing it off.
Compared to what it looked it like before I can say I’m happy with the result. If you’re thinking about it you should give Rit dye a chance.

God bless you for doing the vid without a quirky long anoing voice or just a neo electronic cheap melody all the way , straight to the point step by step. Thank you !
Lol this is the exact hat I want to restore.
Patagonia is the shit 💪🏾🤙🏾
Legit me too! Hahaaha
Me to
Same lol I grab it out of my car when I saw this
Same 😂
Awesome video! I am going to try this on my older hats. I wasn’t sure what to do with them. Thanks for sharing! Subscribed ✌️
Great vid! I have the same fading issues with my Patagonia hats!
got a hat that i thought was a dark green but its a lighter green , this method looks perfect to just darken it a little bit , thank man
Maybe a second application would yield a darker result.
I was just going to say that as you can still see the brown.
I personally think the dark brown is kinda cool 🤷
Naaa it looks great
its also important to use RIT COLOR STAY FIXATIVE this makes the color bond better, alot of people skip this step cause they dont know
@@THXIIIRTEENhey bro just a question from above maybe it should be apparent already but I’m assuming dipping it again would darken it but it wouldn’t thicken the way paint does would it?
Yooo thanks for the video it really helped me save my hat
Nicely done brother
Great job.
I have an old arcteryx hat i loved that got rlly faded and i never considered doing this. I should give it a shot maybe
You need to leave it in for 24 - 48 hours for dark results. I’ve done the homework for you.
Thank you for uploading the video.
Good research bro
I assume you mean "leave it in" as in don't rinse it out or do you mean leave it in the mixture of dye for?
Leave it in what exactly.
?*
@@danielboucheofficial I just dyed my Patagonia hat. You want to leave the dye on the hat for at least 24hrs before rinsing and washing it.
thankyou for this video , so helpful
Awesome video. I have the same hat. Thanks !
These hats arent cheap and if you do any kind of sweating in them they look like junk fairly fast, even with regular washing. Thanks for this tip.
I actually like the faded look. Vintage
thanks for this video.
great idea ...I will do that with a Ripcurl camouflage (olive/brown) trucker cap to get a more black/grey (less colour contrast) style
Thanks! Hope it turns out well.
@@theBidon thanks,can't wait, but why the Palmolive?
I guess it came out ok, you can see the stains that was there to begin with. Thanks for the video
Ur real smart
This is a great idea however I'd probably use a pot to dip the entire hat, but I understand your method because of the logo.
If you watched the video closely tho. He didn't want to dye the logo
@@mariomorales6375 If you read the statement carefully, he was aware of the method because of the logo.
@@james.a.h. lol bro, people ay@
Lmao my pat hat also has faded. It’s funny this video popped up first
Trying to restore this hat too 😅
Looks like you need to do it again.
Use brite white out color remover prior. Also use a rubber band to help shape the bill when getting it hot.
So question do you think that would work with like a straw Beach hat
Is it okay if I use a different black paint instead of the one u used
I bleach stained a certain area on a hat that I was removing a major sweat stain from. Wanted to see what I was getting myself into haha
Nice.
You didn’t use a colorstay additive. Also, the dye should be for synthetic since hats are usually not fully cotton.
If it's 50% Cotton and 50% Polyester will it still work? I bought a Gucci hat 6 years ago that faded. I saw most people are cotton so wasn't sure if it's the same.
@theBidon how did you dye the hat while preserving the logo on the front of the cap?! 🤔
Patagonia would be proud! I’m surprised your bill hasn’t ripped! I took my Patagonia hat to the Nashville store to have them repair it. Do you wash your hat?
I hope they are proud, haha. No, the only washing I did was in the lake or swimming pool, which probably helped speed up the fading.
That hat is sick man!
I have a question. What if the black clothes have other colors. Will the diy make them black too? And if they do how do I avoid that
Crispy
And does that work with any color of the hat? Like navy blue or black
@ 1:45 Dog barked ! Doggy approved 2 paws up !!!!
This video is amazing! I want to buy that hat in this video! I would like to make an offer $375 as this is what I’ve seen rare Patagonia hat pieces go for!
1 bitcoin and it is all yours
Nice job..was that salt you were putting in the bowl
Why did he add salt and dish soap? what does that do?
My black golf McLaren New Era hat is seriously sun-bleached I want to dye it black again but I have a metal orange golf logo I'm wondering how do I dye the Hat without ruining the dye on the metal pin on the Hat
So if you wash the hat with the black color still stay?
Hey, has your cap faded or changed its color to gray or something?
Is there anyway that i could dye my metal shirt without dyeing the white prints
I wanna do this too but cant i just put a tape on the design?
What was the palmolive for ?
How much salt, hot water and dye did you use? Measurements? Thanks!
1/4 cup of salt and 1/3 bottle of the Rit dye.
My hat came out looking LEGIT!! Btw..it was same exact style of Patagonia just navy blue.. Crazy odds huh?! Thanks for the video!
Don't forget that He used dish washing soap too..
will this work on bring back camo shorts? the camo colors or brown and green? PLEASE HELP!!
If the camo is fading at a certain point you'll just have to dye them black
How long did this stay good for?
Is that salt? I need to to the same to part of a karate top.. is that salt?
Not gonna restore, but I'm looking to turn a hat all black using this technique, anyone who has done this, does it bleed out with moisture? Is there ways to prevent that?
How much on the salt ?
Looks good faded should have left it
Was the palmolive; the green bottle dishwashing liquid or laundry liquid ?
Dishwashing liquid
Can u do dis wit a fitted?
How do you keep the Patagonia logo from getting dyed ? I have a sun bleach stain on my Dsquared cap brim so may have to redye it, if I have to redye the whole thing the same colour , how do I avoid staining the white Icon Logo I have on the front ?
The string is synthetic
Why the salt and dish soap?
How long will this last
Still not solid black
Mr. Frost 181 It’s never going to be a solid solid jet black no matter what you do. Otherwise this was a legit tutorial. It’s pretty much what I expected the end result to be.
who needs deep black?
Can you use different colors, or will they all be transparent dye. Could I dye a red hat blue? Etc.
Yes, as long as your dying a lighter color to a darker one it works. It'll end up a very dark blue almost black though for best coverage.
it is sugar or salt?
What did you use? Is that an ink?
how haw this held up? I tried to do this today using a little different approach but like yours much better. What is Rit Dye?
I think the sun is slowing fading it again. It still looks a lot better than before I dyed it.
old one looks like original. new one after restore looks like already used few months 😅
Does it bleed?
Hello?!?..whats the hat made of????
Will rit dye work for a polyester bag ?
Yes, just have to make sure you buy the dye labeled poly. I'm sure Rit makes one as well but I've used idye poly brand before with good results.
What is the white stuff that u put? It is salt?
Salt,
Would this work on a 100% polyester hat?
I want to know the same thing
Yes, just have to buy the dye labeled for poly. I've used a brand called idye poly before with good results. Rit probably makes a poly dye as well.
Are there other colors? I need a Kelly green
Yes
I’m surprised the white on the logo didn’t get black
It is a different type of material that really didn’t soak up the dye.
Needs another coat
Groverrr
Does the dye bleed at all?
No it doesn’t. you just need to rinse it thoroughly.
Need a 2nd application, the brown can still see
ayo I live in patagonia
I thought you're supposed to keep the water boiling to achieve the best results.
As hot as possible.
Did not mention if that's a salt or what?
It was salt
@@theBidon salt 4 what??? Does it help thr dye stick better and longer?
I think stick better. Some chemical reaction is happening but I don’t know what.
Should tape cover the logo and soak the entire hat
I think the original "faded" color looked way better, and natural than the dyed results. The black isn't fully black.. :( It looks more like a faded black. Now you need to dye it a 2nd time.
Does the black dye stain your skin after you wear it?
Cheap made in indonesia hats tend to fade like this
If it rains it will fade again
Eh.... why salt?
Chemical reaction of some sort
You have to do multiple layers of dye....not just one application.....
Yes, you speak the truth and nothing else.
How much water?
A few cups.
that hat looked cool all faded tho
Yeah you know the color looked like trash and was a brownish black. That's why you edited your thumbnail and played with the color to make it look darker. It's so obvious of you compare the grass and patch logo in each picture.
Save money....jimat
$14 for Rit dye, may as well buy a brand new hat.
Bro it looks like you need to add a second application. Because it still looks like shit...
Lol its still faded
Yes, it is a little but much better than before.
5 hours later
Your hair falls off.
Lol
Click bait. You have faked the colour of the outcome for the thumbnail image, knowing this how could we trust the video also?
it still looks faded as hell tf 🤣☠☠
Bro please throw that shit away It looks gross
Looks like heroin
Get a new hat
Looks bad and it lost its character ,
Looks terrible
Thank you for your opinion! I thought it looked terrible before to!
lol ruined hat
