The spots are now so faded that I can barely see them. I credit the peroxide, and possibly the acetone.
The peroxide did leave faint traces of its presence--the areas that I soaked are a tad lighter. Again, not all that noticeable, but these are light tan Gramicci rockclimbing pants--the seams and edges also show some lightening due to wear, so no real issue. I don't think I'd have treated a pair of cream wool trousers that cavalierly.

When a 20-something comes up to ask how you got that cool weathering effect, all your hard research will be rewarded!
I appreciate the sacrifice for a dearly loved pair of pants. Hope this didn't weaken any fibers.
My Ex grabbed a pair of linen pants I'd set aside for the dry cleaners and washed them. He managed to do this twice, to two different pairs of pants, even after I got hemming so I could still wear the suckers.
I stopped buying linen pants, obviously. Denim and I are old friends, now...
