Then why don't you share what you have already and then ask us if you missed something?

Another thing you might consider is that for as long as superdenim has been around the only thing people on here are interested in is breaking in raw jeans themselves.

So much for your trends in washes and finishes.

Oh yes, some people still tend to like darted backpocket jeans that looks like they have been dipped in a bucket of bile...

Fair comment regarding superdenim but all the brands that are mentioned also do some quality jean finishes.

Surely when looking at the raw denim you must look at what is also on offer in the washed versions?

Most people on here consider a "quality finish" the ones that come closest to naturally worn in jeans, and while some of the brands that are discussed on here are indeed getting better at that, most of what they make with regards to hardwash jeans is still atrocious...

There are some brands who do indeed make "real" looking hardwashes, so call that at trend if you want, some brands are getting better at it.

"Trends" are the antithesis to the spirit of superdenim, and really, style is inseparable from individuality, so recommending overarching trends is of limited relevance. But I'll play along.

The overall trend is toward more traditional dressing and less denim (smart casual ubiquity, the tie and blazer Dior style, and skinny denim in general are becoming burnt out and there is growing demand for alternatives), therefore your trend to pitch; hybrids with the traditional wardrobe.

I was talking about garment dyeing.

So you really want to know the specific difference between rope and hank dyeing? I think you already know but I will try to answer this.

I presume you are talking about Indigo dyeing - hank dyeing was the original method of Indigo dyeing - cotton fibres spun into a yarn and then many yarns tied into a hank (like a tied scarve of yarns) then it is dipped into the dyebath.

Rope dyeing for indigo is the commonest method for denim production - the spun yarns are twisted into rope like lengths and then dyed continuously on a dyeing range around 12-24 at a time.

The specific difference i beleive is that you get more indigo penetration using the original hank dyeing method than the rope dyeing method - this means more contrast is achieved quicker after wear/washing. This is my understanding but I am ready to be shot down.

think you got it check this shizzz

Hank Dyed

The history of indigo in Japan originates back to the Edo period (mid-1700s) in the Bichu region. This traditional artisan technique is unique in that the indigo dyeing method used is not controlled automatically by machine. It is not “rope-dyed”, but “hank-dyed”. This means the dipping and oxidation process of the cotton yarn is done by hand by one designated man, known affectionately in Japan as “a living national treasure”! There can be as many as 30 dips into the indigo bath, and a beautiful natural irregularity of the caste and patina occurs due to human touch

Loop-Dyed Denim or Rope

Original Indigo denim was dyed using Loop Dyeing Machines. This is a process using rare and antique machines which feed a rope of cotton yarn through vats of indigo dye and then back out and up to the roof of the factory. It allows the indigo to oxidize before the rope returns down to the next vat. Evisu denim has a minimum of 16 dips and in some styles has 30 dips, hence the deep indigo color.
