55 mins confidence: 
tissu a finition souple Explanation: The original English is not the clearest; for instance, it should read "these laid-back pants" especially since they are referred to in the plural throughout the rest of the exerpt, not to mention that pants are always plural 9and laid-back is hyphenated). garment washed finish could either refer to a distressing technique or a softening technique. I'm opting for the softening technique. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2006-07-04 23:25:34 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Too quick! "9" should be "(" "garment washed finish" should read "Garment washed finish" Mes excuses... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2006-07-04 23:27:42 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I know "garment" is "vetement" but I think that tissu more appropriate in this case, though one could say " vetement a finition souple." |

d'aspect prélavé Explanation: comme pour les jeans, "washed" est prélavé mais je crois qu'il s'agit ici du confort au toucher, doux comme s'il venait d'être fraîchement lavé... |
