One of the most fun parts of the project was the distressing in order to place the viewer in the time where the clothes would have been made and worn. For the jeans, that included sanding down raw, indigo denim to show the points of wear and then bleaching them in order to get the light blue fade. The pants were then dyed in order to fill the white, sanded areas with "dirt" and stay true to the story.
