(57) Methods for producing a pattern on denim products are disclosed. Patterns may be
drawn with either a bleach inhibiting agent or a bleach promoting agent in the forms
of a solution or paste. In case the pattern is drawn with a bleach inhibiting agent,

a plurality of pumices impregnated with a bleaching solution, such as, calcium hypochlorite;
or bleaching by immersion and agitation in a bleaching solution. The pattern may remain
in dark blue in contrast with the the other portions. In case the pattern is drawn
with a bleach promoting agent, the denim product is immersed and agitated in a bleaching
solution; and the pattern may be produced as the portion where the pattern was drawn
is decolorized faster than the other portions. |
