The unique patina that every garment dyed product has is evident. The resulting pieces have a more gentle texture and display a subtle spectrum of hues. The colors are faintest along the edges that are exposed while being the most saturated in the crevices where the dye collects. This means that, unlike many other clothing items, the color follows the contours of the garment. It is akin to the opposite of washed denim. Instead of a crisp and uniform appearance, the fabric has a lived-in feel from the very beginning. Additionally, because the dye is attracted to surface variations in the cloth, it accentuates the stitching, choice of material, and finishing.

Garment dyeing is a method of adding color to an entire garment once the item is fully constructed. This is in comparison to piece-dyeing, which involves dyeing the fabric roll before it's cut and sewn into a pattern, resulting in an even color without variation. Garment dyeing flips the process by sewing the sweatshirt first and washing it in color afterwards.

Since the finished piece of clothing is washed in dye all at once, you’ll see some color and dye variation where the color collects differently. This usually happens when the texture changes, like on a ribbed collar or at the seams. This gives garment-dyed pieces subtle variation in color and the 'washed' look they are known for.

Even in a batch of clothes that were garment dyed together, no style is exactly alike.

Under our GOTS® certification, all of our garment dyed products are Oeko Tex certified, which eliminates harmful chemicals during the production process. It ensures that the garment is not harmful to either the environment or the person wearing it.

Garment dyeing means the garment is washed in a dye bath after it is fully constructed,as opposed to the fabric being dyed first. The dye itself and the process used to dye the whole garment is in compliance with the strictest global sustainability standards. Unfortunately, a lot of dye processes use harmful chemicals that can affect both the environment around and ultimately the human that wears it.

Garment-dyed and reactive dyed apparel are two popular methods of dyeing garments, each with its unique characteristics and advantages.

Garment dye is a method of dyeing where the dye is applied after the garment has been cut and sewn. This process allows for a wide range of colors and effects, as the dye can penetrate the fabric in a unique fashion, resulting in a faded or vintage look. Garment-dyed apparel often exhibit a softer feel and a more relaxed, lived-in appearance.

Garments that use reactive dyes are colored before they are cut and sewn. Reactive dyes chemically bond with the fabric fibers, creating a strong and durable colorfastness. This method offers a broader color spectrum and precise color control. Reactive-dyed blanks tend to have vibrant, long-lasting colors that resist fading even after repeated washes.
