it's to acheive a higher contrast of fades on the denim between the worn out parts and the unworn areas. if the jeans are washed reguarly, the indigo loss will be too even and u'll only end up with a lighter blue all across without much definition on the distressed areas.

QUOTE(marsalee @ Feb 12 2010, 02:35 AM) Raw denims are meant to be Broken... i dont think i will be able to bring myself to do it if i get a pair of g-star/evisu wear it, until its smelly, dirty, ugly, ripped off, torn, and then you will get the beautiful effect that no other jeans have in this world. It's your art on your jeans  |
