Denims
Denim fabric originated in 17th century France in a town called Nimes and was called “serge de Nimes.” Later shortened to denim, it was a twill cloth made of wool and silk which gained popularity in the United States towards the end of the 19th century (albeit in cotton) when a sturdy cloth was needed for ranchers and miners.
A sturdy classic, denim wears like a dependable and rugged friend.
Denim comes in many weights and colors, though the traditional indigo remains a favorite. Usually made of 100% cotton, some iterations are blended with other fibers such as hemp to produce a more fluid fabric. Spandex is often added for wearing comfort. Used for jeans, jackets, dresses and shirts. Come see our offerings!
Denim Comes in Various Weights & Colors
Singing the blues! 12 oz denim is very sturdy and somewhat stiff before washing. The 6 oz. version is softer with a fluid hand.
Indigo does not bond with fibers but sits on top of them, which gives denim it’s amazing fading quality.
