Message: Do you know how to achieve a faux leather finish for sweatshirt material? I've seen it before, and would like to know how to do this myself.

My idea of a faux leather finish on sweatshirt material would require a heavy application of some sort of plastic to get the slick smooth surface effect. I suspect that's not at all what you are thinking of, however. Try the instructions provided by PRO Chemical & Dye for "The Suede Look using PRO MX Reactive Dyes". It's actually not a texture at all, but the low water immersion technique of dyeing; this produces a mottled effect, which is said to mimic the texture of suede.


Also see my much older page on low water immersion dyeing.
