How do denim jean manufaturers tack their jeans or make the wrinkle effect?
How do they design those designer jeans to look the way they do?
Distressing and destroying denims is as much an art as it is a technique. Whiskered wrinkles are done with sand-blasting sand and an air brush. Details are added using a fine abrasive tip on a dremel tool. And extra whiskering can be added with sand paper. Sometimes a bit of extra dye is added into the fold areas to emphasize the lighter parts. The jeans then go for a washing with pumice stone to blend in the whiskering and over-dyeing. Where the folds and wrinkles go is where the art part comes in, it's often through observation of where wear patterns are typically found. For some of mine I have several pairs of old well worn thrift store jeans that I use as a template to guide where I want the wear patterns. I chalk in where I want the details and then they are finished off site by some pro denim finishers. Some of what is done to customize jeans are patented secrets, no one other than those who work for these companies knows the exact techniques or the abrasives and chemicals used to achieve certain special effects.
