English term or phrase:

délavé au sel
English term
France
salt-worn
Je traduis la description d'un jean destiné à un public sportif âgé de 15 à 25 ans et je cherche à traduire le terme "salt-worn".
Je comprends le sens, mais j'ai du mal à trouver quelque chose d'imagé et d'original.
Voici la phrase dont elle est issue:
Washed in road-ready, bohemian vibes, this essential stretch skinny denim delivers salt-worn details and a staple fit.
Merci de vos suggestions!

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

(jean/denim) délavé au sel
(salt washes out some of the indigo dye to lighten the denim, and softens it as well)
Here, it seems salt has been rubbed onto some patches/parts rather than salt washing the jeans as it's "details"
