About Denim
Denim is a sturdy fabric traditionally made from cotton, woven in a twill pattern that gives it a diagonal ribbing effect. The most common type of denim is indigo-dyed, which creates the classic blue jean appearance. Denim can also be blended with spandex for added stretch, enhancing comfort and fit. It is widely used in casual wear, workwear, and fashion applications due to its durability and ability to withstand wear and tear.
