Garments with considerable variation in abrasion level

A process for providing a new pair of jeans made from dyed twill fabric and having localised variations in the colour density of the fabric providing the jeans with a stone-washed or abraded look corresponding to a delta remission value (.DELTA.R) higher than 11 and a reflection of a first area of the jeans fabric less than 12%, the reflection and the .DELTA.R value being determined by

• a. measuring the reflection of a first and a second area of the fabric at a wavelength of 420 nm using a reflectometer having a measuring diaphragm with a diametrical dimension of 27 mm, the first area being located within the area of the upper half of the zipper cover visibly having the highest colour density, and the second area being located at least about 5 cm from any stitching present on the jeans,
• b. expressing the reflection in % related to 100% reflection, and
• c. calculating the .DELTA.R value as the difference between the % reflection of the first and the second area, respectively,
• the process comprising the steps of
• i. sewing a pair of jeans from newly manufactured dyed twill fabric, and
• ii. subjecting the pair of jeans to an abrasion treatment with an efficient amount of a cellulolytic enzyme in an aqueous medium essentially free of bleaching chemicals, wherein said cellulolytic enzyme is a monocomponent endoglucanase obtainable from a fungal strain belonging to the species Thielavia terrestris or an analogue of said monocomponent endoglucanase.
