Starting a clothing brand?Develop distressed denim jeans from a marked wear map. Set abrasion limits, backing, wash shade and placement across leg lengths.

Sampling and bulk production are separate stages. We confirm the quantity breakdown, material availability, start dates and approval requirements in your quotation. Shipping transit is additional to production time.
Mark knee cuts from the waistband and inside leg seam. Moving to a shorter inseam without moving the distress mark can place the opening on the shin.
Circle areas for surface fading, exposed threads and open tears with different colours. Decide where backing is required and where skin is meant to show.
Give a reference for the smallest and largest acceptable opening. Set areas that must remain intact around pocket attachments, belt loops and crotch seams.
Bend the knee and put the sample through the intended wash. Compare the opening and remaining yarns against the approved range. Record which wear marks may vary and which must match a fixed location.
Plan denim development around fabric structure, stretch recovery, wash trials, fit, hardware, shade control, and approved finished-garment references.
