If an item is designated as "distressed", the design contains intentional skips and voids which give the item a worn-in or vintage look. These are part of the actual design and do not reflect poor printing. The images shown are provided by the manufacturer and in some cases the actual design, when printed on the fabric of an item, may not appear as bright or vibrant. This is especially true when the design is printed on darker colors.
