Discover Garment Dyed
The origin of "garment dyed" has a fascinating history that takes us back to the roots of Shibori, a Japanese word that defines a thousand-year-old technique used to decorate fabrics. Shibori involves knotting or tying fabrics with strings before dipping them in the dye. This ingenious process allows certain parts of the fabric to remain undyed, thus creating unique, striking effects.
Over the years, this technique has become ever-refined through extensive research, but Boglioli has succeeded in taking it to a whole new level. Boglioli is the only brand currently able to garment-dye noble yarns, such as cashmere, linen, and silk. As a result, each jacket is a unique work of art. The ability to consistently reproduce uniqueness is a puzzle that only Boglioli has been able to solve.
This garment-dyeing process is a fascinating technique which has revolutionised the sector. In the past, garments were designed with pre-dyed fabrics, where the colour was transferred before the garments were even cut or sewn. The garment dyeing process therefore opened up new opportunities, by providing garments with a new soul: a worn-in look and soft feel.
At one time, garment dyeing was done entirely by hand. But thanks to technological advances and sector evolution, sophisticated machinery can now be used. These, combined with the wisdom and skilled hands of Boglioli's tailors, have allowed garment dyeing to become a valuable, distinguishing and fascinating element.
The process involves dipped each garment in specially-created vats filled with a mixture of carefully-selected pigments to ensure unique fabric hues. Boglioli has dedicatedly and passionately researched and developed custom treatments for each piece in the collection. Behind each shade of colour lies a jealously guarded secret recipe. In fact, each type of fabric is processed individually, by means of passionately analysed dye baths, treatments, and recipes specific to each colour and fabric combination. This approach ensures that Boglioli garments maintain their uniqueness, integrity, consistency, and durability over time, in turn, keeping their tailored essence intact.
One of the main advantages of the garment-dyeing process is the option to create special effects, such as the incredible "frosted effect" or giving the garment a more relaxed, worn-in look. This meticulous craftsmanship makes each garment unique in nature, whilst the brand's verging-on-obsessive attention to detail ensures that Boglioli's "garment-dyed" pieces are truly high-quality products that will maintain their excellence over the years, becoming a timeless garment.
The men's jackets, coats, suits, jumpers, shirts and pants are made from fine fabrics, which become light and elegant thanks to this garment-dyeing process; vivid and natural shades of colour are created, thus ensuring that no two pieces are the same.
Wearing a Boglioli garment-dyed garment means donning a season-transcending item of clothing. A highly-tailored garment that is the result of expertise passed down from generation to generation and applied with scrupulous attention to material quality and the help of state-of-the-art production processes. Fine materials, craftsmanship and the ability to innovate and invent new production processes are the fundamental pillars of the Boglioli brand.
