Denim Washing: the Recipe, the Cost and the Strength Floor
You see that the laundry is where a denim garment is actually made. You cost three recipes per pair against one FOB, look at the dry processes a laser replaced and the one it cannot, and see how a wash is approved on a garment and tested against the strength the buyer will not go below.

Course value
What will you be able to do?
Work outcome
You can read a dye and finish route and predict what it will do to shade, fastness, shrinkage, and cost. You can judge a lab dip and a bulk shade against the agreed illuminant. And you can take a costed decision on a lot that has come out off-shade or off-hand.
Who it is for
Factory, supplier, brand and buying-office teams.
What you will produce
You build a complete wash file for one jeans order. You cost three recipes step by step to a margin per pair, and a hand-made dry package against a laser package with its break-even volume. You approve on a garment standard and a three-piece shade band, resolve an off-standard batch through four priced options, and read every recipe against the buyer's minimums.
