Construction notes

How this fabric behaves

Written by our technical team from production data, not marketing copy.

This 12.5 oz denim uses rope-dyed indigo warp yarns and natural weft, woven on shuttle looms at 76 cm loomstate width. The rope dyeing leaves the yarn core white, which is what produces the high-contrast fade pattern denim wearers look for.

It is sanforised to 2–3% residual shrinkage, so it can be cut without a wash-first step. If your laundry runs laser or ozone finishing, tell us the recipe — we adjust the singeing and skewing to suit.

Ordering notes

  • Lab dips are prepared in 7–10 days including courier; one re-dip is free.
  • Bulk production starts after dip approval and runs 25–35 days.
  • Roll lengths are 50–120 m; short rolls are declared on the packing list.
  • Shrinkage is measured to ≤3% warp, ≤2% weft on the finished fabric. Cutting allowances should still be confirmed on your own wash standard.
