Making jeans look like hard-worn clothes - by transferring pattern of holes or discolouration(s) from genuinely worn and/or faded garment

A process for making new jeans style skirts or trousers look like hardworn clothes involves unstitching and flattening the component parts of a genuinely worn and/or faded garment having the desired appearance. The projected pattern of holes or discolourations is copied to a printing process to be applied to panels of virgin fabric, to show the border outlines or worn holes etc. The printed fabric is out along the printed borders and the pieces reassembled by stiching to resemble geniely patched garments. The dye is partly leached from zones marked as faded on the original pattern garment. Produces a fashionable ragged appearance associated with the worn jeans image. Allows new fabric panels to be cut in gps. using suitable pins to exactly register superposition of the pre-printed panels.

Process for providing jeans with 'worn' look

To give the appearance of wear to the surface of garment fabrics, especially to give jeans a distressed look, an abrasive is projected to the positioned garment at the required zones. The deg. and pattern of the worn zones required by the wearer are set by altering the pressure and the amount of abrasive delivered by the selection of a number of jets, the geometry, the hardness and thickness of the fabric. The shape of the worn pattern can also be effected by a thinning of the fabric in a set zone. Also claimed is an appts. where the garments are delivered for positioning and removed, and a system (2) of jets to project an abrasive at the fabric to give a defined worn zone, with an abrasive feed to the jets (2). A control (7) positions the jets, the vol. of delivered abrasive, the pressure and the shape of one or more of the jets according to the worn shape to be produced.

Material surface processing with a laser that has a scan modulated effective power to achieve multiple worn looks

Techniques which enable changing certain amount of energy being applied from a laser to a material during scan lines of the laser. Energy can be applied to a material to change its look. Different energies can be applied within a single scan line to the material. A display can represent the pattern, by showing different areas of change to the material as different colors/looks on the display. For example, the color of the display can represent the amount of energy being applied to a specific position represented by that color. Since the amount of energy that is applied can change within a single scan line, and in fact may change multiple times within that scan line, this enables freely setting the characteristics.
