stonewashed denim
Softened blue fabric
Stonewashed denim is denim fabric that has been treated to look faded and softly worn.
The process originally involved tumbling jeans with pumice stones, which abraded the indigo dye unevenly.
The technique became popular in the 1980s and remains common for achieving a broken-in look without years of actual wear: Her favorite stonewashed jeans were soft from the first wearing.
