Each item developed by hand, piece by piece, in our Prague workshop.
Vintage & Sun-Faded Effects
The look of a garment worn and bleached over years — vintage fade, sun-faded black, shoulder fade, seam fade and heavy faded looks.
Acid Wash Effects
Spotted, marbled discharge effects on coloured knitwear — a distinctive hand-processed look popular in streetwear and merch.
Worn, Aged & Distressed
Ageing, traces of wear and controlled distressing — holes, abrasions, frayed edges, seam breakdown and destroyed effects.
Custom Effect Development
We develop unique finishing effects from your reference — marble, webbing, mixed techniques.
Garment Finishing for Cotton & Linen
Softening, decatizing, anti-pilling and preparation for sale.
Vintage Denim Effects
Fading, abrasion, bleaching and distressing. Not industrial washing — handcrafted character.
Small Batch Processing
From 20 pieces. Every batch treated individually — limited drops, test runs and capsule collections welcome.

What is garment finishing?
Garment finishing is a set of post-production treatments applied to finished clothing — including dyeing, washing, enzyme treatment, distressing and softening — to alter the color, texture and feel of the fabric.
What's the minimum order quantity?
We work with small batches from 20 pieces. Test runs (LabDip) are available from 1 pc.
Do you work with fashion brands outside Czech Republic?
Yes. We work with brands and studios across Europe. Garments can be shipped to us and returned after processing.
What fabrics do you process?
We work mainly with finished knitwear, cotton, linen and selected denim garments. Each project is assessed individually depending on fabric composition and desired effect.
About the studio
From fabric to feeling.
Factory HOT is a post-production garment finishing studio based in Prague. For 15 years, we have worked at the intersection of craft and textile technology.
We are not a dry cleaner. We are not a standard dye house. We are a finishing studio — a place where vintage fading meets hand-applied distressing, where acid wash sits alongside custom effect development.
