garment dyed
Tinted after sewing
Garment dyed describes clothing that was dyed after being cut and sewn, rather than before.
This process produces softer, more weathered-looking colors and allows manufacturers to delay color decisions until closer to sale: The garment-dyed sweatshirt had that lived-in look from day one.
The technique often results in subtle color variations at seams and edges.
