Deliver rugged textures and vintage appeal with our authentic stone wash process—crafted for timeless denim aesthetics.
Stone wash is a traditional denim finishing method where garments are tumbled with pumice stones to create natural abrasion, faded color variation, and a soft hand feel. It’s the go-to process for achieving rugged, vintage denim looks that never go out of style.
| Feature | Stone Wash | Enzyme Wash | Rinse Wash |
|---|---|---|---|
| Visual Effect | Deep fading & rugged character | Smooth, peachy surface with soft fading | Clean & minimal fading |
| Texture | Coarse, distressed feel | Soft and even texture | Crisp, structured |
| Abrasion Intensity | High – noticeable aging effect | Medium – mild surface wear | Low – retains original fabric look |
| Eco Impact | Moderate (uses pumice stones, more water) | Low (uses enzymes, eco-friendlier) | Low (basic water-based washing) |
| Best For | Vintage jeans, jackets, grunge-style pieces | Premium denim, soft-touch basics | Clean-cut styles, pre-treatment phase |
