You’ll definitely have a bit of run the first time they get worn/wet but pre rinsing them should help I suppose.
If it’s a heavy stain I’d hazard a guess that you’d still be able to see it.

You may well find that the dye takes ok on the fabric bit not on the stitching.

Procion dyes are the best in terms of colour fastness and intensity.

In terms of getting stains out, if you want to get serious I found that a mean degreaser can work wonders if the cloth can take it, something like turpentine.

I managed to fall on my arse and get a muddy stain on the arse of a pair of cream shorts. First washing suggests that this won't be coming off and it's an inconvenient place for a brown stain.
Thinking I may dye them navy or similar.
Any thoughts on:
Will the dye take over a muddy stain?
How permanent are dyes nowadays? I don't want blue legs when they get wet.
Which dye should I use for best results?
Cheers
