Agree, but I do wash new items separately and then the shout sheet seems to handle subsequent minor dye leakage. I am concerned by what seems to me the increased use of non-fast dyes even in brands I thought I could rely on. I don't see paying increased prices for poor quality dyes. Is it that fabric-manufacturing countries can't afford the fast dyes? Are they polluting in nature? I've always thought that India, Pakistan, Bangla Desh and China could vastly increase their exports if only their dyes were reliable, as for instance, most of Japan's seem to be.
