I sat there looking at my new black hat that had white shinning through. It came to me, use black permanent marker on the white areas. I did, wore it in a perspiry day, it worked nicely. I'm hoping permanent black marker won't come out during laundry.

A permanent marker should be permanent, but if it fades use the back marker again.

Great idea! It may fade, so retouch where needed.

Ok, will do. After washing, it's looking good...no leaking from ink and color is good.

Good idea. If it comes off, you can always redo it.

It will turn lighter and lighter the more times it's washed. But all you have to do is use the black marker again when you see it getting lighter in color.

Thanks! First for me to color disappearing in certain areas, within just 1 month of buying.

You may have to reapply the marker after a couple of washings.

Let's hope it wouldn't. Sharpie seems to be a tough one that doesn't fade easily.
