How is this done on the styles I see in the stores?

There are designs "Burned?" Into the shirt, leaving very little fibre. It alsmost makes it sheer in specified areas {i.e the design}

How hard is this?

Im guessing wear a respirator?

Thanks!

I think they use lasers to 'burn' away the layers, have a look at laserprouk.com, they have some towels on their showcase that have a design 'sheered out' of the fabric. They can be used to remove colour from denim etc. I have seen them 'burn' a design into a pair of jeans by removing the colour.

I don't know if you could use acid but how would you stop it from going too far and ruining the garment.

burn out ink can remove just the cotton from a 50/50 blend and leave a cool sheer effect.

Stuart is correct. Wilflex carries the burn out base

No I haven't used it and Don't think I will. I believe it is a major hassle.
