How to use these denim guides

These guides explain the decisions behind a denim program: fabric weight, stretch or rigid, how denim is manufactured, how to approve a wash and how to measure baggy fits. Each ends with the details to include in a production brief.

They are written for brand founders and sourcing teams preparing for sampling. They explain what to decide and what to check, so your sample review is focused.

  • Denim weight in ounces: building a clear fabric brief.
  • Stretch vs rigid denim: what changes for fit and wear.
  • How denim is manufactured: fabric and jeans stages.
  • Jeans wash samples: approving appearance and fit together.
  • Baggy jeans measurements: defining volume and length.
  • Jeans tech pack checklist: fit, wash and hardware.

Comparison pages

Two comparison pages help with fabric and finish decisions: selvedge vs non-selvedge denim, and raw vs washed denim. Both link to the matching product programs.

New guides are published on a regular schedule. Our MOQ is 100 pcs per style and samples typically take 7 days once the brief is confirmed.

Which guide answers which question

Choosing fabric weight? Read the denim weight in ounces guide. Choosing between stretch and rigid denim? The stretch vs rigid guide explains comfort, recovery and shrinkage trade-offs. Want to understand where variation comes from? How denim is manufactured walks through spinning, dyeing, weaving, sewing and washing. Approving a wash? The wash sample guide explains how to judge shade and effects together with fit. Defining a baggy fit? The measurement guide lists the points that control volume and length. Briefing a factory? The jeans tech pack checklist covers fit, wash and hardware.

Each guide ends with the fields to include in a production brief and points back to the sample stage, because shade, shrinkage and fit always need confirming on your own jeans. When you are ready, the product programs page lists the denim styles we make and the RFQ page shows how to request a quote.

If your collection includes more than denim, our sister sites publish guides on hoodies and general clothing as well.

Using the guides with your team

If a designer, founder and sourcing manager all review samples, share the relevant guide first so everyone checks the same points. Agreeing in advance on acceptable shade, measurements and finish makes sample comments faster and clearer.

Tell us which denim topics you would like covered next; guides are added on a regular schedule.

From guide to sample

After reading a guide, note the decisions you have made and the ones still open, then include both in your brief. Listing open questions helps the factory suggest options, and makes the first sample more useful.

Our MOQ is 100 pcs per style and samples typically take 7 days once the brief is confirmed.

Reading order for first-time buyers

Start with the denim weight guide and stretch vs rigid denim to choose fabric, then how denim is manufactured to understand where variation comes from, then the tech pack and wash approval guides before your first sample.

Bring the details you already know.

Share the garment, material and fit direction, quantity and destination. Use the guides to identify the decisions that still need discussion.
