Just found out the average pair of jeans uses over 1,800 gallons of water to make, which I read in a book on textile production last week.
Has anyone tried designing a denim line with a specific, lower-water process, and did it change the fabric's hand feel or durability?

Some brands use laser finishing and ozone washes to cut water use by half. The fabric ends up stiffer at first but breaks in fine, maybe a bit thinner. Long term durability seems okay but they're still pretty new.

My buddy got some of that laser finished denim and it never did soften up.
