Usually, I buy shirts from American Apparel and bleach them myself to give them a more interesting look, but I find it's lengthy process, which unfortunately I don't have enough time for. Especially when there's hundreds of them...

Is there a way to purchase shirts that are already bleached or have undergone various kinds of washes? Or is there anyone that provides that service specifically?

Thanks in advance.

What about the burnout tee or acid wash tee from Alternative Apparel?

If you have created a unique look that you want reproduced, just send one of your shirts to a wash house to have them match.

How would I go about finding a wash house? Yellow pages give the randomest results...

As for Alternative Apparel, I can't use them because they don't have something similar to the effect I'm going for...

I doubt you will find one local by searching in your local yellow pages. Maybe do a google search? Sorry, I don't know of anyone here off hand in the U.S.

You could check places like apparelnews.net (they have classifieds and links pages with dye/wash houses listed)

There's been a couple posted here in the forums as well in other threads if you search for dye house LA
