Each pair of jeans is hand-washed individually to set the base color, even in factories. The process starts with scratching the denim, then washing in industrial machines. This washing stage is the most complicated part because it determines all the colors that come after.
You don't really learn how to do this in school, eh? Not really. Hahaha. When you're doing vintage washes like this, are you always doing it by hand, even for production? Yes, it is always done. So he does each pair of jeans one by one? Exactly, yes. How long does it take him to do one pair?
It depends, but it's actually one of the complicated parts of production because it's where you put the base for the jeans. So all the shades then will follow that. So this is the first step of the prototyping where we have done the scratches, and now the second step is washing the jeans in the washing machines.
