How We Creatively Manufacture Acid Wash Clothing at Jasper Fashion

Acid wash is a technique that involves bleaching the fabric with a solution of acid and water. The acid reacts with the dye in the fabric, creating a faded and distressed look. The result is a vintage-style t-shirt that is soft, comfortable and stylish.

The process of acid washing is not as simple as it sounds. It requires careful planning, experimentation and skill. Here are some of the steps we follow to create our acid wash t-shirts:

  • First, we select high-quality cotton t-shirts that are suitable for acid washing. We prefer natural and organic fabrics that are durable and eco-friendly.
  • Next, we prepare the acid solution. We use a diluted mixture of sodium hypochlorite (bleach) and hydrochloric acid. The ratio of the solution depends on the desired effect and the color of the fabric. We always wear protective gloves, goggles and masks when handling the acid solution.
  • Then, we tie or twist the t-shirts into different shapes and patterns. This creates variations in the bleaching effect and adds more character to the t-shirts. We use rubber bands, strings, clips or other tools to secure the t-shirts.
  • After that, we soak the t-shirts in the acid solution for a few minutes. The longer the soaking time, the lighter the color and the more pronounced the acid wash effect. We monitor the t-shirts closely to avoid over-bleaching or damaging the fabric.
  • Finally, we rinse the t-shirts thoroughly with cold water and neutralize them with a solution of baking soda and water. This stops the bleaching process and prevents further damage to the fabric. We then wash the t-shirts with mild detergent and dry them naturally.
