I messed around with stenciling bleached designs on T-shirts several years ago as a hobby. It depends on the quality of the article being bleached. I favored heavier cotton T-shirts and several of them have held up very nicely to this day.
I've bleach tie dyed a t shirt. The original printed graphics faded and wore out in 6 washed, but the actual fabric of the shirt is holding up alright, even the bleached areas
When I was in uni (a very long time ago) one of my fellow students accidentally sprayed Hydrochloric Acid on his lab coat. Nothing happened and we shrugged it off. One wash later, and it looked like a moth feeding frenzy
Haven’t researched it … but I’m sure it’s bad for the environment considering it’s just using chemicals to clean.
Dry cleaners are still around and it is expensive. I have a couple of items that require them and I’m careful with them and try to wear multiple times before having them cleaned.
Seems to be a declining business overall with less casual workplaces and remote work. 20-30 years ago office workers used them every week to clean their suits and dresses
Well, there were fades and gradients in it, and the blocks they did the white marks with were square chunks. I know tailors use fabric chalk to plan their alterations, so that seems like a good guess, but I don't know.

I am so glad they filmed the gas mask

Bleach is like weed, if you don't cough hard, it doesn't count!

Sorry, gonna be that guy. It's a respirator. A gas mask covers the eyes, and sometimes the ears, too

Some guy named Kyle is gonna think he's so cool wearing this to the Kid Rock concert.
VayaKahvi

There is one thing bad with bleaching your clothes. It dramatically lose any durability. 5 washed and out.

Yeah, but that's a sweatshirt, so five washes is like 30 years, it'll be fine...

Just never wash your clothes. Problem solved.

I've done this with very little damage to the fabric. You can bleach the dye without eating through, especially heavy jersey

Dry clean them ? 🤷

Is dry cleaning as bad for the environment as I hear? Also expensive? Heck I don't even see them around anymore now that I think of it

So, are they bleaching out the black, then re-dying it with the red?
rayvn
When you bleach black fabric, it looks orange/red. It would take a crapload of bleach for it to actually go white, if even possible.
BishlamekGurpgork
That's what I thought, but there were white marks that turned red. Marking chalk for planning, maybe?

Probably outlined their design with a fabric pen first it shows up white on darker fabric and patterns but washes out.
