Producing Distressed Denim on Industrial Scale

Jeans is a product that is worn by millions of consumers worldwide. To create a denim product is a complex mechanism, but creating distressed denim creates much more complexity to the process.

Initially the fabric is selected that can with stand the distressed washing process, mostly lighter fabrics are not preferred for these type of garments , similarly stretchy denims also don’t exhibit good properties when used for making distressed jeans.

Therefore a distressed jeans manufacturer would initially select a suitable fabric; the fabric will be given a proper design ad with the help of an electronic computerized machine the fabric will be marked with proper cutting. The cutting will be done after which the fabric will be inducted into the stitching area, where the fabric pieces will be held together and a garment will be made out of it ,At this stage of production the denim garment would be very harsh and mono colour i.e. deep blue-black.

After stitching the garment will be placed in washing department for the final design, here the garment will be given the distressed look, with the help of grinding and other machines different areas of the garment will be given a distorted look to make them look distressed jeans naturally after which washing with different chemicals is carried out.

A mens distress jeans manufacturer would be following much detailed steps for producing day to day productions.

Premium Brands of Denim for Men

Denim is an industry that has emerged from a raw ordinary work wear product to a high fashion article. Starting from its origin when it was used as a work wear for mining industry, the product had been under immense technological advancements. Now it’s an integral part of any fashion brand. Many of the fashion brands strongly believe on this product and add different variation s of denim in their collections regularly.

Some of the premium brands of denim are, Salsa , Prps, Denham , Jbrand, True Religion , G-star , Energie , D-Squared ,7 for all Mankind, Nudie jeans, Diesel etc.

The reason for putting all these as premium brands is not just a single criterion or just the price only. Some of these though have a real high sale price let’s say a jeans of true religion, diesel or Jbrand could be like 500$.But brands like all these and many other have some elements that makes them called so premium. Like the fabric used in the making of Nudie jeans is exclusive and so as the fits and cuts. The brand is famous in Nordic region. Similarly G-star is very picky about their fabrics; they use premium raw denim for the making of their clothes, both tops and bottoms.

Brands like Energie and D-Squared are famous for their Italian pattern washes, mostly aggressive washes with distortion and distress effects. They might have their production in some parts of Europe like turkey or Italy, so you can say that a mens distress jeans manufacturer would be supplying the jeans to such brands.

True Religion jeans VS Gstar

There are many brand of clothing coming into fashion arena on daily basis, some fade out easily but a fringe percentage of them stain their mark so strongly that it became their mark of recognition. The same goes for denim industry where we have a number of renowned brands that people recognize and symbolize with high quality, fashion and uniqueness.

True religion and G-star being one of many of them. True religion is an American base brand, famous for its authentic and vintage jeans; back pocket design/embroidery is always same with a specific embroidery design. The brand charged a high premium price for its denim and is famous among celebrities and renowned public figures.

On the other hand g-star is a brand from Europe and is from the hub of fashion brands i.e.  Amsterdam. The brand acquires a very uncommon yet interesting design philosophy by taking inspirations from military wear. Most of their inspirations for clothes and branding are derived from military influences. The element of seriousness and intelligence is well incorporated into their campaigns and store displays.

The brand is also indulged in different branding activities that creates an influence and translates its design philosophy. There is a common myth in a consumers mind that these brands are manufacturing their own product. One must be clear on the point that nowadays most of the brands are outsourcing their jeans manufacturing, so a mens distressed jeans manufacturer would be providing the distressed jeans to these brands for their selling.

BUYING A DISTRESSED JEANS

We all buy clothes throughout the year, some buy it on weekly basis and some on monthly or quarterly basis depending upon an individuals’ self interest and life style. One can make a successful buying decision if he/she is aware of the product and its dynamics, adding to it the options to buy from is nowadays an important factor to save money and time both. You can buy a more or less similar product at two very different price ranges (if you are not brand conscious).

Jeans is one of those garments that every individual carry in their wardrobe. Pending on your mood, occasion and life style people used to wear different kind of denim. Itself denim has a lot of variety these days.

Let’s see how one can buy distressed denim jeans for his/her wardrobe. Distressed denim jeans is a pair of jeans that looks rigged and have distorted look. It’s good to have a look at the high street outlets if you are locate in of the city hubs, if not then it’s always good to surf some of the best on-line outlets. They not only provide a lot of choices in limited time but also give you the price comparison that enables you to make better economical choices. There is also a chance to buy an unbranded good quality denim as some of the men distressed jeans manufacturer have started selling their products via different on-line portals as well.

TRENDS IN KIDS JEANS

Jeans is one of the items that is being discussed and prompted a lot in today’s clothing industry. Its not just a piece of garment as it has pushed its own boundaries from the traditional mining wear to a label of representation for a most of the fashion brands. There are a lot of fashion brands that are only based on jeans and their core area of expertise is Denim/Jeans. Some of them are G-star, Prps, Denham, Replay and Adriano goldsmith etc.

The same trend is visible in kids clothing as well, as most of the brands are focusing towards their jeans collection and are presenting their new jeans collections on runways and campaigns.

Normally when we talk about kids jeans, it’s more or less same compared to mend/women jeans, but with some exceptions. Primarily the fabric weight is not as heavy as for means jeans, the fabrics are taken into account and light weight fabrics are mainly used to minimize any wear effect on kids skin as it’s much sensitive compared to an adult jeans wearer. Secondly the use of threads and other trims are much funkier and visible, creating much colourful and happening effect around the garment. The pocket sizes and shapes are also experimented a lot to creating more and more eye catching clothes. When a vendor is displaying its collection in the seasonal meeting at any brands head quarter, let say a kids cotton jeans supplier from China is having a meeting at Aeropostale’s office, he would never miss to take kids jeans that have big pockets and funky trims and threads, in order to create an eye catching product .

FAMOUS BRANDS OF KIDS JEANS

Nowadays, kids fashion is the new phenomenon in the industry. Many international brands are incorporation their kid’s runways show each season, to create a symmetric effect in their collections.

Collections comprises of complete top to bottom clothing solutions are being showcased on the runways. Many big brands are doing such collections on regular basis and have grabbed masses for these collections.

Zara is one of the top brand doing Kids jeans in its own way, the brand is itself famous and popular for his classy and contemporary looks. The same I being translated into its kids collections, creating a silent, sober and classy look in its kid’s collections.

United colors of Benetton is also an industry leader, known for its socially thought provoking campaigns. The brand is also featuring kid’s collection in their lines and is doing it quite well under their own design philosophy.

H&M Hennes and Mauritz the fashion giant from Sweden, is famous for its colourful and appealing lines of Kids. They have an entirely different department for kid’s denim.

 A lot of their buying is from the eastern countries like china, India Bangladesh and Pakistan, there have been fierce competitions to qualify for a vendor of H&M like a jeans maker in Bangladesh or a kids cotton jeans supplier from Pakistan would be putting their maximum effort to being H&M to their client’s list, a mark of excellence, and to attract further clients.

H&M CREATING FASHION FOR KIDS

H&M the global fashion retailer from Sweden, well known for its fashion clothing lines for men, women, teenagers and kids have been catering all of its targeted age group since a long time. The brand existed in more than 23 countries and has more than 2300 stores globally. With huge revenue of over 126 Billion SEK the brand is one of the top fashion brands around the world.

Creating newness and appeal to the clothes while keeping them within the buying range of the masses is what H&M popular about. Every department is unique and has a different design team with different design philosophies, no matter if its kids or baby department they will still have a different design team with a different design details and philosophy that leads them to create pieces that attracts huge masses around the world.

H&M kids is also one of the key department of H&M.

They are able to do it so cheap because they buy in volumes, therefore any kids cotton jeans supplier or some other kids garment supplier would love to have H&M as their client due to these huge volumes.

Gucci Men Spring 2013

Working as a fashion buying consultant for a denim manufacturer always requires hand on knowledge for the latest happening and event in the fashion industry.for the very same purpose I have my selected sources of information for these latest trends that i rely on.

Yesterday crawling one of those sources i saw spring runway for one of the biggest fashion house Gucci.Yes, it was Gucci Men Spring 2013.It was a great use of power colors, with a bold use of style.The cuts were sophisticated and contemporary clean .the overall looks were sharp and skinny.

Apart from the outfits, shoes were highlighted as well in the collection, boots ans loafers were given special attention.Leather shinned loafers were a great match to the skinny bottoms.Matching bottoms with printed tops, and printed bottoms with solid bottoms were there on the runway as well.Here are some of the highlights from the Gucci Men Sring2013.

Well all these vibrant trends are not a good news for mens distressed jeans manufacturer as they would not be able to cater these products and of course some kind of  relief for mens designer jeans supplier.

Nigerian Fashion Industry

I came to read about Nigerian fashion industry while following a Denim buying company from Nigeria. My interest to Nigerian fashion industry was more than normal , not due to the fact that its was about fashion industry, but i was keen to know the dynamics of how Nigerian fashion industry would be working, their designers, brands, their inspirations and many more.

To the limit of my wonder I found that a fashion week of international level was already happening in Lagos in partnership with World Fashion Organization.Different guest having international portfolio's were there, as buyers and other designers.Nigeria is not only one of the most populous country in Africa but also the biggest market for fashion and luxury brands.

During the show there were different international designers showcasing their collections including, Adebayo Jones, a London based fashion designer and style consultant known for glamour, style and elegance. Alessandro D,Amico Inglese was also there showcasing his collection, a designer from Italy.

I think if there would have been more categories in the runways, apart from the Haute couture designer that would have given this event a great flavour  Some collections from the high street would serve the purpose, like mens designer jeans supplier or mens distressed jeans manufacturer.

The Unexpected

The e trading business has its own dimensions, there are certain things accepted widely in this industry more or less in a way or other. One of those , is the supposition of spam buyers/frauds from a number of African countries. No matter what is the nature of buyer from the African countries like Nigeria, Uganda, Somalia but e sellers would mostly consider them as spam or fraud inquiries/buyers.

Being a part of this industry I had the same perception that was shaken some days back when I received an inquiry from a Nigerian Fashion brand. Initially the email was nothing to be called as a so special one. But yeah there was nothing exaggerating or shinny words in the inquiry, It was plain , straight forward in a very neutral tone , unlike the spams.

Further findings revealed that the buyer is a genuine one and is not a fraud, this was the first ever time that I had experienced a genuine buyer from Nigeria. He owns a fashion house and was interest to start his Jeans and t shirt line for the local market. It looks pretty interesting to see such thing happening in Nigeria and creates a hope that good things can occur any time even under disappointed conditions.

I am not sure if we could be able to come to a point to make a deal , em not sure what they will going to be interested in our company for, weather they are looking for a mens designer jeans supplier or mens distressed jeans manufacturer but this buyer has changed my perception regarding the African buyers .

The Happening

''Buyers'' the word might be eye catching for a lot of professionals dealing in the manufacturing industry. For a manufacturing company it is crucially important to have regular buyers , as it is important for the sustainable demand of the goods that they produce in their factories. But still the term ''Buyer'' is often misused to translate a highly qualified happening that is itself called a ''Buyer''.

I used the word happening for the term buyer, as I consider it a momentary conformance to a lot of factors, and an absence of any or more of those factors could change the interest of a seller to a ''Buyer''.

I would explain it with a personal experience , Being associated with Denim/Jeans development for years I came across with different interesting experiences, including the ones that I had with my buyers.Some days back started communicating with a lead who was willing to procure branded goods in a large quantity.Due to the quantity our company was interested to get in close contact with the buyer.What was supposed to be an inquiry of a medium size garment order, turned out to be an inquiry of a good volume ,when the buyer shared his business dimensions properly.

The buyer was from Australia and was willing to procure 30,000+pcs of a famous Denim brand.We get excited for the deal as the buyer directly plunged into the inquiry details, which was very unusual.Further discussions and email conversations revealed other businesses the buyer was involved in.The deal was proceeding in the right direction with a good pace when suddenly I asked a confirmation that was supposed to be just a formality in deals of such stature.

Me : '' You must have the original distribution certificate of distribution from L*****,... ''

Buyer : '' No, we don't ''

the very next moment,..

Buyer:''But we can clear the goods, if you send us to our destination ports''

Me:''Oh, uhhhh,..ok, mmm,..ok i will get back to you on email.''

This was what we were least expecting it to be.The buyer was genuine, he was interested to pay, he had a good quantity but due to our compliance to international standards, we were abide not to sold branded products to unauthentic dealers.The buyer was asking for a product that we could manufacture easily, a simple product indeed unlike the trendy floral print jeans, or floral skinny jeans, but still due to just one factor we couldn't cater the order.

The same buyer could be use full for a company that is has nothing to do with compliance. I hope the reader would agree with the term that I used in the very start of the article ''qualified  happening'' . 

Blue the Colour for Spring/Summer 2013

After the fall of spring/summer 2012 and creating an impact in the season, the colour is back again with an ever strong influence for the spring/summer 2013. Yes Blue is back with a greater depth and variations , varying from deep ink shades to lighter tones, its everywhere around for spring 2013.Designer and brands have already showcased the collections for 2013 and the bold use of colours specially blue is clearly visible in their collections.

Creating a sophisticated and contemporary effect, the colour is an identity for a contemporary calm and sophistication. Designers have fused the colour according to their own inspirations and choices, ranging from ink blue, for which there is a strong census among the fashion gurus that it will going to be a major for both men and women in spring 2013,creating an everlasting sophistication and smartness.

Royal blue is also one of the blue for 2013, though it is still in the market for fall2013. But still some designers have used it up in their collections for 2013.

Lighter tones of blues like sea blue merging with greener tones have been used as well mostly featuring women wear.

The colour is mainly used for tops in women wear where as for men’s wear it is used for both tops and bottoms, where as its been used in some floral skinny jeans with the same pattern and detailing as for other floral printed jeans.

Inspiration for the collection is long Johns for 50 or 10 years ago what people used to wear, how they used to wear.Creating something that men would wear dearly and women would love to watch their men wearing those.

The collection focuses on simplicity, unlike the typical aggressive washes and prints, no funky floral print jeans, it’s not something that would fade out easily like the floral skinny jeans but something that would last and not fade with time so that people can buy things that they actually going to keep and something that will last and continuous to wear.To Beckham the collaboration has been enjoyable, as per his latest video review.
