What kind of marker can one use to permanently draw on denim jackets?

hey all. I want to take denim jackets and draw/color on them to create these really artsy jackets to sell (part of the proceeds are going to a local charity). my question is - what kind of marker can I use so its permanent and won't run in the rain or wash or is there a spray I need to use afterwards? I want this to come out really professional looking. any tips?

2. try a Sharpie permanent marker.
3. You could try a tide bleach pen if you want lighter designs. Sharpies are the best markers, in my opinion. I don't believe you have to spray anything... I've drawn on my clothes with Sharpies, and they still look good after multiple washes.
4. I could be facetious and say use anything that says it's non-permanent, but seriously a permanent marker should do the job. First try out a test piece and subject to to normal washing, rain, wear etc.
5. You can get permanent pens in the supermarket for writing on fabric. They are called laundry markers and they're usually with the detergents and stuff.
