A computer system of a finishing center, such as a mobile finishing center, includes a tool that allows a customer to preview or create new designs for apparel before purchase and before laser finishing. Software and lasers are used in finishing apparel to produce a desired wear pattern or other design. Based on a laser input file with a pattern, a laser will burn or ablate the pattern onto apparel. With the tool, the customer will be able to preview, create, make changes, and view images of a design, in real time, before purchase and burning or ablation by a laser. Input to the tool can include fabric template images, laser input files, and damage input. In an implementation, the customer or another user can also move, rotate, scale, and warp the image input.

A dyeing method comprising a) dyeing a substrate containing (i) elastomeric fiber containing at least 30 wt. % of a first polymer having a glass transition temperature T1 of less than 60 C. and (ii) non-elastomeric companion fiber containing more than 50 wt. % of a second polymer, said second polymer being polymer having no glass transition temperature or polymer having a glass transition temperature T2 that is at least 20 C. higher than T1, b) contacting the pre-dyed substrate with an extraction medium at a temperature Te and a pressure Pe, said extraction medium comprising at least 50 wt. % of supercritical or liquefied carbon dioxide; wherein Te exceeds Tg1,extraction and wherein Te is less than Tg2,extraction in case the companion 1 fiber contains more than 50 wt. % of polymers having a glass transition temperature T2; Tg1,extraction representing the glass transition temperature of the first polymer in carbon dioxide at pressure Pe; and Tg2,extraction representing the glass transition temperature of the second polymer in carbon dioxide at pressure Pe.

A system allows a user to create new designs for apparel and preview these designs before manufacture. Software and lasers are used in finishing apparel to produce a desired wear pattern or other design. The user's preview may be based upon a two-dimensional image of a wear pattern in a laser input file and, from a set of two-dimensional images of a base garment, create a three-dimensional view of the base garment with the wear pattern.

The invention refers to a fabric finishing method suitable for changing the colour of a coloured fabric thereby providing a vintage look to the fabric. The invention refers also to the fabric obtainable by the above method and to a garment comprising such fabric.

A system allows a user to create new designs for apparel and preview these designs before manufacture. Software and lasers are used in finishing apparel to produce a desired wear pattern or other design. The system provides three-dimensional previews of their designs on a mannequin, using light projection techniques.

A system allows a user to create new designs for apparel and preview these designs before manufacture. Software and lasers are used in finishing apparel to produce a desired wear pattern or other design. The system provides feedback to the user on how their designs may appear in a virtual storefront, such as through virtual reality or augment reality techniques.

A structure has spaces that can accommodate at least two International Organization for Standardization compliant shipping containers. The structure has studs, joists, and rafters connected together above, besides, between, and in front of the spaces for the shipping containers. The structure provides for an attractive outdoor retail space with shading, allowing for signage, decorations, product display, ergonomics, and other retail design features. In an implementation, the structure is for a mobile retail space that is tailored for customizing and manufacture of the customized apparel, especially the laser finishing of products like jeans. The mobile retail space can be relocated to and deployed easily at various events, such as sports events and music festival venues.

Provided herein is a method for decolorizing textile materials under hydrothermal conditions using dye adsorbent materials. The process is non-toxic and environmentally friendly, and the adsorbent materials can be repeatedly used. The textile materials are textile materials dyeable with disperse dyes. Further provided is a system for decolorizing textile materials. The decolorization system is designed to allow the adsorbent materials to react with the textile materials in a contact manner and a non-contact manner.

The present invention relates to a method of dyeing a substrate comprising (i) elastomeric fibre containing at least 30 wt. % of a first polymer having a glass transition temperature T of less than 60 C. and (ii) non-elastomeric companion fibre containing more than 50 wt. % of a second polymer, said second polymer being polymer having no glass transition temperature or polymer Shaving a glass transition temperature T.sub.2 that is at least 20 C. higher than T.sub.1, said method comprising: a) contacting the substrate with a dyeing medium to produce a pre-dyed substrate comprising 10 dyed elastomeric fibre and dyed companion fibre; b) contacting the pre-dyed substrate with an extraction medium at a temperature T.sub.e and a pressure P.sub.e, to produce a high fastness dyed substrate, said extraction medium comprising at least 50 wt. % of supercritical or liquefied carbon dioxide; wherein T.sub.e exceeds T.sub.g1,extraction and wherein T.sub.e is less than T.sub.g2,extraction in case the companion 1 fibre contains more than 50 wt. % of polymers having a glass transition temperature T.sub.2; T.sub.g1,extraction representing the glass transition temperature of the first polymer in carbon dioxide at pressure P.sub.e; and T.sub.g2, extraction representing the glass transition temperature of the second polymer in carbon dioxide at pressure P.sub.e. 20 The present method enables the production of dyed substrates containing elastomeric fibre as well as non-elastomeric companion fibre that exhibit extremely high colour fastness because the dye is almost exclusively contained in the companion fibres. The present invention also provides a dyed substrate that can be obtained by the 2 aforementioned dyeing method.
