Answer 1

Fire can dry clothes but also burn them. If you just wanted to burn a small part of the clothes, to say, charge $650 dollars more for a charred hole, you would focus that fire on a single spot and ensure that’s all that burns. Chemo is a bit more functional than distressed jeans but also more expensive as a result.
