Hmmmmmmm well I don't want to say yes or no , but I recently bleached a Henry Kano shirt and it dyed perfectly apart from the stitching.
Don't bother using that crappy Idye colour remover as it does nothing and the fumes are sickening.
I put the shirts in one of those sealable sandwich bags and sprayed finish bleach on it , left it for 10 mins then rinsed and rinsed it.
Then dye it using Dylan China blue and came out spot on.
Also when using the dye I only use half the water it asks making the colour stronger.
Also when using it be aware it will be a lot darker in the water.
So once you rinse the dye off don't empty the sink and dry with a hair dryer and if it looks too light soak it again.
Never bleach black as it will go pink.

Finnish bleach is that strong?.
Have tried thick bleach flash and even toilet cleaner a.nd the colour ain’t shiftingMost that happened was some of the stitching came loose on the linning
Trying the bleach and bag and see if that works but got a feeling its not.
White spirit next.

You do need to soak it for a while buddy

Left it for over an hour.
Just lightened slightly.

Think I'll try stronger bleach but white spirit is a bit too far.
Did try it before and the t shirt started to break down.
Good method if you want zombie clothing but stinks

Tried bleaching a black t shirt before and it went orange

All good sometimes its fun trial and error.

Might just get it as light as I can then paint with diluted washs till I get the right colour.
There are other coats that look ok but I like the shape and style of this one.
Will have to remove the buttons and repaint them and reattach but worth it.
Hopefully can use this head sculpt for him and repaint the dog the right colours.
