Rigid and stretch denim from 6 to 14 oz, plus cotton and poly-cotton twills for chinos, workwear and bags.
Denim is quoted in ounces per square yard rather than GSM, and that number drives everything: a 6 oz chambray is a summer shirt, a 14 oz rigid is a heavy jean. We supply the range, in rigid, comfort-stretch and power-stretch constructions.
Alongside denim we carry cotton and poly-cotton twills and drills — the cloth behind chinos, cargo trousers, workwear jackets and heavy-duty bags. These are the most requested fabrics for industrial and site uniform programmes in the region because they take abuse and wash well.
Wash and finish are as important as the base cloth. Raw, rinse, stone, enzyme, bleach and whisker finishes are all available; we can supply finished cloth or greige for your own laundry to process.
