Denim fabric: what to decide

  • Weight: lighter denims for summer and soft fits, heavier ones for structure and durability.
  • Stretch: rigid cotton, comfort stretch or high stretch, which changes the pattern as much as the feel.
  • Colour and shade: indigo depth and cast, black or coloured denim.
  • Lower-impact options: organic or recycled cotton denim, subject to availability; see sustainable production.

Washes, finishing and trims

Much of a pair of jeans' character comes after sewing. Washing or distressing gives the final look and feel, so the wash is approved on the sample before bulk. Trims to specify include buttons and rivets, zips, leather or jacquard back patches, pocket bags, labels and stitching thread colour. Every detail goes into the bulk order form so reorders match.

Certificates for denim

Brands often ask for GOTS or OEKO-TEX denim. Certificates belong to the fabric and the supply chain: ask for the fabric supplier's certificate and check its number in the issuing body's public database. A GOTS logo on finished jeans also requires every processor and manufacturer in the chain to be certified, as explained on our sustainable production page.

Minimum orders and process

Minimums are agreed per style and wash and confirmed in writing with the quotation; read our MOQ guide. You receive a sample with the quotation, and bulk starts only after approval; see our sampling guide and production process. Denim is part of our menswear, womenswear and streetwear collections, produced under your label as a private label clothing manufacturer.

Frequently asked questions

What is the minimum order for custom jeans?

We work with low minimum order quantities, agreed per style and wash and confirmed in writing with your quotation.

Can you match the fit of jeans I already sell?

Yes. Send the reference pair or its measurements, and we make the pattern from it, then refine the fit through sampling.

Do you do washes and distressing?

Yes. Washing or distressing gives jeans their final look; the wash is approved on the sample before bulk production.

Can I use GOTS or OEKO-TEX certified denim?

Yes, when the fabric is available with the certificate. Ask for the supplier's certificate number and verify it. A GOTS logo on the finished product also requires certification of every processor and manufacturer in the chain.

Do you make a sample pair first?

Yes. You receive a sample with the price quotation, and bulk production starts only after you approve it.
