Treating base templates with anti-ozone agent before storage for laser finishing

A method comprising:

• creating a garment template comprising
• assembling fabric panels of a woven first material into an assembled garment, wherein the first material comprises a warp yarn comprising indigo-dyed cotton yarn, and the fabric panels are sewn together using thread,
• rinsing the assembled garment in an anti-ozone agent, and
• spin drying the rinsed assembled garment such that the anti-ozone agent remains in the assembled garment;
• storing the dried rinsed assembled garment as the garment template in a template inventory, whereby the anti-ozone agent prevents yellowing due to exposure to ozone;
• using a laser machine to form a finishing pattern on the garment template by laser, wherein the laser machine marks a surface of the garment pattern a pattern according to a digital file input to the laser machine;
• and
• using a digital design tool to generate the digital file input used by the laser machine, wherein the digital design tool generates a photorealistic visualization of a finishing pattern of a garment after a postlaser wash on a screen of a design computer and allows editing of the finishing pattern, and the digital design tool executes on the design computer that is separate from the laser machine,
• the editing permitted by the digital design tool comprises selecting a combination of a garment template and a wear pattern, and saving the combination as the finishing pattern, and
• a photorealistic visualization of the combination comprises displaying on the screen of the design computer the garment template and wear pattern as a garment of the combination would appear after postlaser wash.

• rinsing the assembled garment in an anti-ozone agent, wherein the rinsing the assembled garment in an anti-ozone agent comprises
• rinsing the assembled garment in a solution consisting essentially of water and about 1.5 to about 2.0 grams per liter of sodium ascorbate, and
• spin drying the rinsed assembled garment such that the anti-ozone agent remains in the assembled garment;

• the editing permitted by the digital design tool comprises selecting a first combination of a garment template and a first wear pattern, and saving the first combination as a first finishing pattern, and
• a photorealistic visualization of the first combination comprises displaying on a computer screen the garment template and the first wear pattern as a garment of a first combination would appear after postlaser wash,
• the editing permitted by the digital design tool comprises selecting a second combination of the garment template, a first wear pattern, and a first tint color, and saving a second combination as a second finishing pattern, and
• a photorealistic visualization of the second combination comprises displaying on a computer screen the garment template and the first wear pattern along with the first tint color as a garment of the second combination would appear after postlaser wash.
