What kind of treatment is the 'bio garment washing' mentioned in the description?
This is a moment when you encounter an unfamiliar process name while reading a pants description. It makes you wonder how it differs from regular wash processing and what difference it makes to how it feels when worn.
It is a processing method where the garment is washed with enzymes after it is fully sewn, reducing stiffness and softening the texture.
Bio garment washing refers to a process of washing with an enzyme solution after the garment is completed, rather than at the fabric stage. Because it goes into water after the clothing is fully made, natural texture forms around the seams and pockets, and subtle fading spreads. Additionally, the enzymes trim the fine fuzz on the surface of the fibers, lessening stiffness and leaving a soft touch.
Moia's fatigue pants (khaki) uses a fabric woven with a blend of 69% cotton and 31% nylon[1]. While it is tough because nylon is blended in, the bio garment washing prevents it from stiffening and brings out a soft touch[2]. Undergoing washing while retaining the garment's shape, calm shading settles between the stitch lines, giving the entire pants a deep color tone[3].
