Finished by Zander Taketomo
You’ve likely seen these terms appear alongside our signature canvas and denim styles – stone-washed, stone-canvas, stone-bleached, and garment-dyed. Perhaps you have a general idea of what they are and how they look – or maybe you don’t. Through images captured across NYC by Zander Taketomo, we outline what makes each finish unique.
This season, the Western-inspired OG Santa Fe Jacket is executed in a stretch-twill fabric and garment-dyed – a process which sees the finished garment dyed as a single piece. This results in a softer feel and a complex depth of color, with subtle variations in tone on details like the stitching and seams.
Denim styles, like the OG Double Front Jacket and Aaron Pant, are rendered in a stone-bleached finish, which creates a light, heavily faded appearance.
Items like the Michigan Coat, meanwhile, feature a stone-canvas wash, a process that gives items a worn, lived-in look, while reducing the amount of water or chemicals used, through oxidizing ozone technology. The result is fabric with a lighter, washed-out appearance, mirroring the patina you might find on a time-worn work jacket.
The classic five-pocket Aaron jean also comes in a stone-washed finish. This differs from our stone-bleached wash, offering a deeper shade and subtly worn-in look.
