What is vintage wash denim?

Vintage wash denim is new denim finished to look aged. AMO Denim makes its vintage washes in Los Angeles, using an ozone chamber where ozone gas fades the fabric, which AMO Denim says uses less water than a traditional wash and no chemicals. Stonewashing softens the fibers, and whiskers are placed across the hips and thighs where real wear would create them. The result looks worn in from day one, unlike raw denim, which fades only through wear. Washes range from pale blue to deep indigo, so pick one that suits your closet.
