MADE TO BE BETTER

As we shift towards eco-conscious, more

sustainable fibers, we introduce two new
denim fabrications that make up for 75% of
the collection’s styles: Repreve®, an innovative
polyester fabric made from recycled plastic
bottles, and certified organic cotton blends.
This greener approach to denim ensures that
environmental impacts have been significantly
reduced. Make a fashion statement with the
confidence that no new petroleum was used,
greenhousegases emissions were limited, and
water and energy were saved.

 Bartacks
The bar of closely-spaced stitches used to reinforce stress points in jeans.

Chain Stitch
The traditional stitch used to hem jeans, using one continuous thread that loops back on itself resembling links in a chain. An ideal
mix of flexibility and strength, this thicker, smoother stitch is more authentic looking and, after a few washes, creates interesting
fades around the ankle compared with a simpler lockstitch.

Coin Pocket
Denim Glossary

The smaller pocket, traditionally stacked inside the right front pocket.

Distressed
Jeans that have been broken in to give them a worn out or vintage appearance, from abrasion techniques including washing,
sanding, and bleaching. Heavily distressed, or destructed jeans are torn, ripped, frayed at the hems and seams, and sometimes
repaired.

Dyeing
A coloration procedure in which natural cotton yarns are dipped into indigo dye baths prior to the denim weaving process.
After each bath, the yarns are hung to oxidize and activate the indigo, which changes hues from yellow to green to blue. The yarn
is then rinsed of excess dye and dried.

Embroidery
Embroidery is a form of decorative stitching. Sometimes embroidery incorporates other materials, like beads or pearls, but any
decorative stitching counts.
 Finishing / Finishes
Textile finishes are processes such as bleaching, abrading, bio-polishing or desizing that improve the look, feel or performance
of denim.

Frayed Hem
Frayed hems are usually destructed to the point of showing the white cotton warp strings of the denim.

Fade(s)
Lighter areas present in denim after repeated wash and wear. Fades present as familiar patterns with names like whiskers and
Denim Glossary

honeycombs in the stress areas and hinges of the jeans, especially around the knee, hip, hem, and thigh. Abrasion techniques like
sanding and shaving along with stone and enzyme washes can be used to produce fades artificially.

Fit
The way that a pair of jeans wears based on cut through the leg, the shape and length of the rise, and thedesign of the leg opening.

Hand
The feel of a specific denim, whether in your hand (literally) or against your skin while wearing. Some denim is smooth and thin,
while others and thick and sturdy. In general and in the absence of starch or distressing, the heavier the weight and the newer
the fabric, the stiffer the hand.

Hem
The bottom of a shirt, sleeve, or pant leg that has been folded and sewn to prevent unraveling. Most denim is hemmed with a chain
stitch or lock stitch, whether by hand or machine.

Inseam
The measurement, usually in inches, of the length of the leg from the crotch to the bottom of the hem. The fabric along the inseam
of a pair of jeans is usually double-felled, or folded and double stitched for strength and durability.
 Indigo
The iconic color and source of the dye that makes denim blue.

Leg Opening
The opening at the bottom of a pair of jeans. The width will vary with style. Slim fit will taper in while boot cut will flare out.
The measure of the leg opening will impact how a pair of jeans will cuff or stack above your footwear.

Patches
Patches are swatches of denim used to reinforce worn areas or behind holes. Patches can be decorative or they can be utilitarian

and match the color and style of the jean.

Rise
The measure from the waistband to the bottom of the crotch seam. An important part of the fit of a pair of jeans, rise will dictate
where on your hips they sit.

Rivets
Metal fasteners used to attach or reinforce two or more pieces of fabric. Comprised of a head and tail designed to be pressed
together until permanently fused.

Stretch Denim
A cotton, or cotton blend, with a small amount of elastane, a stretchy, synthetic fiber, incorporated into the fabric.

Topstitching
Topstitching is a row of continuous stitches along the top or the right side of a pair of jeans. You’ll see topstitching along the
waistband or on outer seams of your pants.
 Waistband
A waistband is a strip of cloth on clothing that encircles the waist. It’s where you’ll find belt loops and the top closure button on a
pair of jeans.

Wash
The rinsing of denim to soften and remove excess dye. Repeated washing can produce, often desirable, shrinkage and fading.

Weight
The measure, in ounces, of a square yard of denim fabric after weaving. Denim weight correlates to heft and density. The heavier

the fabric, the thicker the denim. Once washed, denim can feel lighter and softer.

Whiskers
A fade pattern characterized by horizontal, or slightly angled, lines on the front rise that begin at the fly and can stretch across the
pockets to the outseam. This common pattern is the result of the folding and stretching of denim while seated. Abrasion technics
are often used to mimic this great natural look in modern distressed jeans.

Yoke
The V-shaped section at the back of jeans, above the pockets. The yoke allows for hip movement and comfort when seated. Based
on fit, the cut can range from straight to a deeper V-shape with a greater the seat curve.
