The name of this fabric comes from the city of Nîmes. "Serge de Nîmes” means fabric from Nîmes. Levi Strauss first brought the fabric to America during the Gold Rush. He intended to sell it as sailcloth along with various miscellaneous items such as toothbrushes, buttons, etc. When he discovered that the fabric from Nîmes was very durable and his sales turnover for the other items was not very high, he started making trousers for the gold miners.
The original blue denim is made with a yarn-dyed indigo warp and a white weft. This creates the typical "jeans effect.” Denim is extremely durable.

Fade out – cross look

This weave, with a clearly structured appearance, is created by using effect yarns in the warp and weft (increasing and decreasing yarn thicknesses), which produces a lively effect.

T400 denim

This denim contains a high proportion of the special elastomultiester (T400), which gives the trousers more stretch and helps them hold their shape better. This is a particular advantage for their comfortable fit.

NH³ denim

NH³ denim is a fabric with a special optical effect. Extensive treatment with ammonia gives the denim a flat look without any contrast. The resulting fabric is a beautiful matte, and the jeans do not fade as easily.

Cotelé is a longitudinal ribbed weave with a hollow weft binding. The ribbing is created by floating (the weft thread is laid across several warp threads). The result resembles a matte corduroy, but with a more solid surface.

This fabric is often made from wool or a washable wool blend. The basic interlace is a steep twill binding. The fabric is usually very fine, but also extremely durable.
