Colour & character
Review the wash on the actual fabric. A reference photo sets the direction; the approved physical sample sets the production target.

The finish changes
the whole garment.
Colour. Texture. Hand feel. Develop the wash alongside the garment, with a physical sample to guide the next step.

A wash reference is
the starting point.
Share the look you want for your T-shirt, hoodie, trousers or denim style. We review the proposed finish with the fabric and construction before confirming a sampling plan. These workshop clips show processing activity; they do not identify a specific wash recipe or guarantee a particular finished effect.

Fit after washing
Check finished measurements after the proposed wash and drying process. Build the agreed allowances into the pattern before bulk production.
Prints, trims & seams
Review artwork, embroidery, labels and hardware together with the wash. The order of processes depends on the style and needs sample testing.
Good to know
Plan the wash before you commit.
Can a wash be matched exactly from a photo?
A photo helps communicate the direction, but lighting and fabric can change the appearance. Confirm the target with a physical sample, including any acceptable variation, before production.
Will every garment look identical?
Wash effects can vary between garments and batches. Agree on the acceptable shade and appearance range during sample approval.
Does washing affect quantity or lead time?
It can. The suitable batch size, development cost and schedule depend on the fabric, finish and processing requirements. These are confirmed for your project after review.
What should I send for a wash enquiry?
Send a reference image, garment type, fabric composition and weight if known, colour, target quantity and required date. An existing garment or fabric swatch can help establish the target.
