faded velvet collar on show jacket

[jlindsay]

has anyone ever managed to re dye one or is it just a no go?

Unfortunately you're pretty certain to ruin it, leave it alone.

suede shoe dye can work but you have to be very very careful. I did a velvet show hat with some once.
However I'm fairly sure some of the major showing companies (possibly mrs candy and pretty ponies) sell replacement collars which any seamstress can fit for you for only a few ££
