What is a wash?
From the two basic denim types, washed denims are the most popular variety and are produced on a vast majority. Every denim created is coloured with dark shades of dye. The process of removing the excess dye after production leads to a wash on the jeans.
Similarly when a denim is left unwashed it is called raw denim.

Acid Wash
Acid wash jeans have had a very tumultuous span over years. What were once considered as the epitome of chic were soon looked down upon and the ones wearing them were considered fashion disasters. However fashion comes, goes and comes back again! Acid washing is a process of partially bleaching the jeans with chlorine bleach and pumice stones.

Dirty Wash
Dirty wash jeans are designed to have a worn out look. The dirty wash combines the blue with yellow and brown tints to create distressing and used look.

Stone wash
One of the most popular finishes in denims, a stonewash pair is created by actually using stones on it. Lately with a surge in technology, manufacturers are using chemicals to achieve the effect.
It is most crucial to check out the details of your denims. Details take the denims from good to great!
If you have chosen your denims it’s time to look closely at the details before proceeding.
The Closure:
Check whether your pair comes with a button fly or a button fly and a zipper. Make sure the zipper has a clean overlaid panel.
Back Pockets:
It is essential to take a look at the back pockets of your denims. Make sure you check whether it has the correct branding and stitching.
Stitching and Thread Colour:
Insignificant as they may seem, stitching and thread colour make a lot of difference. Heavy embellishments and obvious or excess stitching can destroy the aesthetic feel of the jeans. Make sure the stitch is clean and neat.
