In this way, every jeans will have a customized shiny dull appeareance.

Moreover when jeans are washed, the garment go back to the original dull look, regaining their polished look after a couple of days of wearing.

WAXXY: this new coating technology gives extremely saturated colours with shiny waxy light reflex. As this is a very innovative technique, ISKO strongly believes that this may be the look for future denim.
