Holy shit. Same thing happened to me. I thought it was just mine that it happened to. All I did was run it through the wash once on cold, just like it says. I let it hang dry and I haven't worn it yet. I called Jiberish and left a message. I hope they get back to me. It's not like it barely faded either, it really faded. I'm disappointed since I spent $85. My Jungle Cat green is in excellent condition though.

Just put a little bit of vinegar in the washer when you wash it. This should prevent it from fading. So just remember that next time you get clothes with dark colors.

Just get your money back if you can. Chances are if you get another one, it will probably do the same thing

this happened last year with some of the hoodies, that's really lame that they didn't fix it... has anyone had any trouble with fading on hoodies other than aristocrats?

How can they, that one sold out SO FAST and is one of the most popular ones this year. I highly doubt they'll be able to replace them unfortunately.

My Green Jungle Cat went through the wash and a day of school and it looks like new. It even went through the drier for a little over 30 minutes.

true, except that when you pay $90 on a hoodie, you expect the quality to be much higher than that. 

although i wonder id it's just the aristocrat...considering that the jungle cat didn't fade.

Of course it was going to happen in the future, but the fact that it happened before I even used it is pathetic. I washed it alone, just as I did with my Jungle Cat and I even let the Aristocrat air dry, yet I washed the Jungle Cat, ran it through the drier for 30 minutes and wore it to school today and it still looks brand new is what is pissing me off. Even if he can just trade me for another piece I would be stoked. How are the black crews doing? Have they faded?

Here's another picture. This one really sums up how bad it is. It used to be the same shade as my brother's Level 1 hoodie. The Level 1 hoodie has been washed, dried, and worn
to school many times.

No. I'm not one to bitch publicly on NS unless it's a real shitty situation. I would have contacted them and that's about it.

Dude, I say rather than ranting all over Jiberish, give em a call. See what THEY will do about it. Newschoolers will not and cannot do anything for you. Pete has to be one of the coolest guys in the industry, soo hit him up.

The first thing I did was leave them a voicemail and then proceeded to send an email. I hate when kids come straight to NS and bitch.

The black part is NOT screen printed. Only the sleves have the screen print pattern on them.

Doesn't seem like it. My brother's Level 1 hoodie has been worn a fair amount and washed and dried and it still looks like new.

Are you sure its not Black Screen Print? Not to call you out on it just checking.. cos the exact same thing happened to my armada hoody last year which was screen printed.. the black has faded and gone grey and I only washed it a couple times too.. I didnt realise it was a screen print until this happened either

Not screen printed, but It may be DTG printed, basically the shirt is literally printed with a DTG printer, and if its a low quality printer the blacks will fade, very fast. Ive had a lot of issues with DTG printers for some of my "prototype" shirts seeing if DTG would last, I opted not to use it.
