The process for dry finishing of clothes made of cotton, particularly of jeans-like fabric, includes the following steps: turning the clothes inside out; introducing the clothes into a rotating container, together with predetermined quantities of sodium hydroxide flakes, pumice grains and perlite; dry treatment of the clothes in the container with the sodium hydroxide, pumice and perlite by mechanical action of shaking and/or mixing for a pre-established period of time; washing with water containing acetic acid in order to remove remains of caustic soda from the fabric.
