What are jeans fabrics?
A natural material with multiple variations
The jeans, also called denim, is traditionally made of cotton, sometimes blended with elastane or polyester for more flexibility and comfort. It is characterized by a twill weave, which gives it its strength and its two-tone effect, typically blue on the front and white on the back.
