Hello,

my name is Linda and i am trying to start my own Brand at the moment.

For the finished design of my clothes i need a special color of them.

I try to get a result like this:



So it's not the Print i am looking for it's the color of the shirt, i need this Vinatge look with lighter fissures and the irregular allocation of the color.

I found myself 2 solutions:

1) Perhaps i have to take a Black shirt, "stone-wash" it ,what means to put it in a laundry bag and wash it with small stones

2) Or i need a color to tint it myself with a special technique.

Would really be great if somebody could help me or give me an instruction to get such a washed look.

greetings Linda

p.s: sry for my bad english

I believe that shirt is a dark heather gray. Mostly you'll find the heathers in light or dark gray, but occasionally you can find other color heathers. They have that distinctive irregular color value.

It's also possible that it's a burnout tee - they also have irregular color values due to the different thicknesses of cotton throughout the garment. Burnout tees are very popular these days and you should be able to find a number of suppliers.

Regarding the washed-out seams, I'm not sure, but it's probably something like stone-wash. You might find a label that sells these vintage style shirts in a variety of colors, including heathers.

Hey, thanks for your fast answers, the apparels i could order like these on kavio are nice, but not the one i am expecting .

Thats why I prefer to do this on my own, think there has to be a way to bleach or stone wash a normal black or dark grey shirt to get a result like in my example pic, i thought anyone has perhaps done this already or knows an instruction for this :)

thanks
