The fabric is built in a classic 3x1 twill weave, producing the characteristic diagonal rib that gives denim its strength and durability.

The yarns are dyed with indigo and then gently washed to relax the cloth, reduce initial stiffness, and bring out subtle texture while preserving depth of color. This is pure cotton with no elastane, keeping the cloth true to traditional denim behavior and aging.
