We can expect different results because of the advance in the chemical dyes over the last 25 years. Some like blue jeans are made to fade; others can be washed in hot, dried on hot twice a week and still look brand new. That's why companies spend so much money on research and graduating chemists can still find jobs that aren't in cosmetics and fertilizer fields, for just 2 examples. We've come a long way, baby! They still need to conquor red and black. LOL!
