flamed denim Explanation: Ti ho trovato questo (vedi link). Sarebbe (me pare...) del denim con un motivo di fiamme. Non saprei se dire "flamed" o "flame motif" Buon lavoro Reference: http://www.powerlab.it/elite/defs.htm#B |

sandblasted bull denim Explanation: Found this definition at reference 1: FIAMMATO (a FLAMME) La "fiammatura" e un ingrossamento irregolare, a forma di minuscolo siluro, che si forma per difetto tecnico sul filato... which does not seem too applicable to Denim. Sandblasted as in reference 2: Sandblast A laundry process where jeans before washing are literally shot with guns of sand in order to make the jeans look as if they have been worn. While originally done only by hand, this processing has recently become automated. Chemicals are also now used in many laundries replacing sand. seems a little more likely. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-12-23 17:10:51 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- \"..il jeans sabbiato o fiammato..\" to be found at: www.liberograssi.it/libero2000/jeans.htm and \"Un jeans 14 once, blu scuro fiammato, effetto usato ma resistente e morbido...\" at www.archimagazine.com/news/wanda/nwanda.htm Not found anything conclusive but beginning to believe the material is literally scorched with a flame to produce worn effect.
