    Old Goth here!

    And... old stagehand... 

    Mainly, just old these days, but I digress. 

    Keeping black clothes black is a challenge. No matter what you do, washing them inevitably grays them, and there's nothing sadder than slipping into a favorite old set of stage blacks and realizing that they... aren't anymore. 

    Of course you should take care not to abuse them, but the best trick I've found is, once every few months, to bundle all of those great black articles together and run them through a course of black RIT dye. The color will eventually fade no matter what you do, but as long as the clothes are solid black, refreshing them is easy.
