Global denim research findings
revealed by Invista
INVISTA unveiled a
summary of the
results from its
Global Men’s Denim
Study at the first European Kingpins Show held
at Amsterdam last week. The study covered
consumer insights from over 3,000 male
participants in Germany, Italy, India, China, the
U.S. and Brazil and was conducted by ICM
Research out of the U.K.
The study was designed to better understand
men’s purchase preferences related to denim
and covered topics such as the key attributes
men look for in jeans, how satisfied they are with
current offerings, and where they get
information about jeans. Top line results showed
that the two most important attributes that men
were seeking were ‘fit’ and ‘comfort’, yet 30% of
participants felt current jeans offerings did not
fully meet their expectations in these two areas.
In the area of thermal comfort, over 80% of
participants said they would be interested in
jeans that would help them stay cool and dry in
the summer or warm and dry in the winter. Yet
less than 35% of participants felt current
consumer selections addressed these needs.
Out of a variety of commercial fabric brand
names, the most preferred for a summer jean
concept was the COOLMAX brand while the
most preferred for the warm and dry concept
was theTHERMOLITE brand.
As per Jean Hegedus, INVISTA’s Global Denim
Segment Director, the results reflect the
consumer’s desire for performance clothing that
can meet a variety of needs. “Today’s time
starved consumers want garments that can
simplify their lives and allow them to look good
and feel comfortable under different
circumstances,” Hegedus said. “Offerings like
COOLMAX and THERMOLITE fabrics can help
brands and retailers achieve this goal.”
Reflecting a consumer shift from traditional to
social channels of commerce, the survey
showed that across all countries the internet was
the most preferred source for information about
jeans, followed by ‘friends.’
The results were presented by INVISTA at a
seminar on May 7th at the first ever Kingpins
Show in Europe.
“This is the 29th Kingpins show INVISTA has
sponsored and once again it has been a great
success”, said Ebru Pirinccioglu, INVISTA
Outerwear Marketing Segment Manager for
EMEA. “Since the Dutch own more jeans per
capita than people in any other country,
Amsterdam provided us with the perfect location
to showcase our innovations in denim, from our
LYCRA dualFX technology for super-stretch
garments that keep their shape, to thermal
concepts such as our COOLMAX ALL SEASON
and THERMOLITE technologies, and durable
options such asTOUGH MAX LYCRAfabrics.”
To highlight the benefits of its denim offerings,
INVISTA commissioned a street dance team to
perform in jeans made with their innovations
during the Kingpins after-party. The high energy
show was enthusiastically received by the crowd
and highlighted the freedom of movement and
other functional advantages that INVISTA fibres
can bring to denim

Innovative New Color Effects
by Archroma at Denim by Premiere Vision
Archroma, a global leader in color and specialty
chemicals, and the former textile, paper and
emulsions businesses of Clariant, is looking to
secure a home-win at this year’s Denim by
Premiere Vision (DPV) in Barcelona with its
amazing new effects for jeans that stand-out
from the crowd.
Barcelona is home to Archroma’s Global Denim
Center and On May 21-22, at Denim By PV, its
specialists will share their extensive expertise in
ever more sustainable denim dyeing and color
management, with the denim community,
retailers and brand owners. Visitors to Booth
B03 can look forward to garment collections and
prototypes highlighting the potential of
Archroma’s new technologies for more
sustainable and exciting fashion and results.
Bring out the hidden color of your jeans: A
capsule collection of jeans will capture a highly-
innovative new way for designers to play around
with wash-down techniques to apply
spectacular “local” effects and contrasts. The
eye-catching results are achieved by combining
Archroma’s new Optisul® C sulfur dyes –
affinity-free sulfide-free dyes, suitable for GOTS
and bluesign® approval – with select Printofix®
Tpigments.
Great casual collections made easy and
sustainably: A collection of Chinos with high
versatility in wash-down effects. Optisul® C
dyes allow easier application than current
techniques. Their use in a Pad-Dry/Pad-Dry
process makes woven fabric dyeing with almost
zero water consumption a real possibility.
New way to color finishes: With Optisul® C
liquid dyes, Archroma presents a new option to
combine resins and dyes to create touches and
finishes without compromising the casual final
look. This new alternative for coloring finishings
is especially suitable for “local” chemical wash-
downs allowing to create more natural look than
conventional pigment coloring.
Blue garment collection alternative to indigo:
Manufactured with eco-conscious ADVANCED
DENIM technology and its Diresul® RDT
Indicolors specialties. Yarn dyeing using
Archroma’s ADVANCED DENIM technology
helps adding to the desired “sustainable touch”
with unlimited tones and shades. ADVANCED
DENIM enables water consumption to be
reduced by up to 92%, up to 87% of the usual
cotton waste can be avoided, and up to 30% can
be saved in energy costs compared to traditional
denim processes.
As ADVANCED DENIM technologies are being
adopted by more and more denim mills around
the globe, visitors will be able to see denim
articles made using the technology at booths of
important exhibitors at the show.

Glut squeezes margins of denim manufacturers
The glut in the denim industry has been
aggravated by continued addition of capacity.
The oversupply has not only exerted price
pressure on denim mills but also forced some of
them to reduce capacity utilisation by 20-30 per
cent.
Against a capacity of 1.3 billion metres, the
domestic demand for denim is estimated to be
around 600-700 million metres, and another
200-300 million metres are exported.
The denim industry was functioning at a capacity
of close to 1 billion metres per annum around a
year ago. However, existing as well as new
players have continued to add capacities.
According to industry players denim fabric prices
recently fell by 5-7 per cent in certain categories.
he Ahmedabad-based Aarvee Denims &
Exports Ltd is now partly producing non-denim
fabric. "Our denim capacity utilisation is 70 per
cent now. There has been both price and margin
pressure due to overcapacity. We are forced to
produce 30 per cent non-denim fabric," said
Ashish Shah, the company's managing director.
Aarvee Denims, which has 85 million metres per
annum denim capacity, recently reduced prices
by 5-7 per cent in certain fabric types.
"Though we have not reduced prices yet, rising
input costs are exerting pressure. It is yet to be
seen if the pressure from rising input costs will be
borne by denim producers or consumers," says
Deepak Chiripal, CEO of Nandan Denim Ltd.
Nandan Denim is in the process of adding
capacity. From 80 million metres now, the Rs
900-crore company's denim capacity will cross
100 million metres by 2015.
Some companies have been able to insulate
themselves from glut in the domestic market by
focusing on exports. "Over 60 per cent of our
denim business comes from exports. This has
helped us maintain 100 per cent capacity
utilisation," said Jayesh Shah, director and CFO
of Arvind Ltd, which has denim capacity of over
110 million metres.

Designer Eco-friendly jeans
Jeans have always been a passion
for Designer Shani Himanshu,
creative director of indie label
11.11/eleven eleven. Having
worked as a consultant with brands
like Diesel, Levi’s and Gas Jeans, it
was his experience that led him to
create a collection of handmade
denim. Created in association with
Arvind Mills, the range is completely
hand-crafted, uses very little
electricity and reinforces his firm’s
commitment to sustainable fashion.
When Shani and design partner Mia
Morikawa showcased this collection, “100%
HANDMADE” at Lakme Fashion Week in March,
the message was clear — wearing designer
denim may be hip, but donning a pair of eco-
friendly signature jeans is the epitome of cool.
“We all wear denims. I think it’s good to wear
something that’s has soul and character,” says
Shani, of the unique line that celebrates the
human touch, with its hand-spun yarn, hand-
woven textile and a hand-stitched final product.
Veteran designer Rajesh Pratap Singh has been
making denim for export for a few years now. He
married his love for khadi with denim over two
years ago, and introduced his first khadi denim
line.
What started as a partnership with Arvind
Limited is today a dedicated collection, with
Singh sourcing part of the raw material from
Arvind and spinning, weaving and dyeing the
rest at his weaving centre in Neemrana,
Rajasthan. “For us, it’s not just another fashion
product. Khadi is an individualist fabric with a lot
of history, a textile that is eco-friendly and
innately Indian. And with this handmade, no-
machine intervention line of jeans, we are
creating a pure Indian product,” says Singh.
Singh and 11.11/eleven eleven participated in a
fashion show in April, titled ‘Denim India Made’,
organised by the Denim Manufacturer’s
Association. The primary focus was on authentic
khadi denim.
“India has been manufacturing denim for
companies all over the world, according to their
specifications and needs, with nothing
intrinsically Indian in the final product. Just as
how Japanese, Italian andAmerican denim have
unique identities, we want to make something
which is originally from India,” says Rajesh
Gupta, creative head, Arvind Limited, denim
division.
Arvind is engaging with families of craftspeople
who specialise in spinning, dyeing and weaving
techniques with the support of the Khadi Board
and its many institutions. With minimal utilisation
of power in the ginning process and fewer
pollutants released thanks to the natural indigo
dyeing process, the final product is extremely
environment-friendly.
While khadi denim has found both creative and
commercial clout, individual efforts like that of
designer Deepika Govind are adding momentum
to the cause.
Govind launched her line of organic jeans
“Denim Green” in 2012, after nearly four years of
research and development. The range of hand-
woven denim, dyed in pure indigo, remains her
pet project and a testament to her commitment to
all things natural.
“It was during a stint at a huge denim
manufacturing unit in Bangalore that I noticed
that nearly 20 to 25 litres of water were wasted
per pair from the beginning of the process till it
reached the shelves,” says Govind. She chose to
Industry - Corporate
Denim Club : Your Window To The World Of Denim
DENIM CLUB INDIAMay 2014 08
source organic cotton, use plant-based dyes,
eliminate the acid wash and weave her fabric on
the handloom. Today, Denim Green sells in
classic fits, comes with tea tree aroma wash,
anti-bacterial wash and even retails with pure
silver buttons.
Designer Samant Chauhan who, worked on a
pilot handloom denim line with the Ministry of
Textile and the Denim Club, is looking to launch
his own collection. “The handmade ideology
resonates with our brand philosophy because
handloom fabric has a very unique character,”
says Chauhan.
Like him, there are many who are discovering
romance in the variable warp and weft of hand-
spun denim. “There are effects built into the
fabric with loom stop marks and high and low of
fabric. These features only add to the texture of
the denim,” says Gupta. And it’s these
imperfections that Shani is counting on to lend
individuality to his product.
Each 100% HANDMADE khadi denim is hand-
stitched and realised by one craftsperson, who
autographs the finished garment and adds a
serial number. This kind of labour intensiveness
that adds to the price of the product and nudges it
into the premium segment. “Apart from labour
involved, there is a lot of expenditure that goes
into research and development. This time and
money could be earned back if there was a mass
movement and costs could be controlled,” says
Govind.
And while the numbers might not add up yet —
Arvind Limited manufactures nearly 9 million
metres of regular denim per month, in
comparison to just 3,000 metres of khadi denim
— this does not deter Shani and Morikawa, who
are experimenting with extra weft techniques
and are working on making khadi denim from
organic Kala Cotton. Singh is set to launch his
2014 edition of khadi denim in June.

hand, it would help Arvind scale up its branding
business, on the other, it would also assist in
executing the long term strategy.
The company has presence in 671 retail stores,
656 departmental store counters and 1,500
multi-brand outlets, coupled with its presence
across price points and categories, which are
expected to give a considerable boost to its sales
in the next few quarters

Ÿ The High Roller - made of softly washed
out wool and corduroy, of broken twill and
blurred effects, of knits and backs with a
brushed fleece aspect, all played in
softness and suppleness.
Ÿ The Expert bets - skilfully blue
variations, for outsized clothing in barely
washed raws, in blue/black twills, in re-
coloured selvedges.
Ÿ The Provocateur - disguised weaves,
secret pockets and hide-and-seek trims.
Plays with pretence, double faces
marked by lasers or ice, and experiments
with almost seedy-looking greasy
coatings.
Ÿ The Nimble One plays with the light of
compact and dazzling fabrics,
sometimes glazed, plasticized or
lacquered. Plays tricks with open
diagonals, sculpting and virtuously
comfortable stretch, for slim and close to
the body fits, accessorised with diamond-
like metallic points and glints.

Blue Jeans Patented May 20, 1873
An icon American fashion was patented on May
20, 1873, when the United States Patent and
Trademark Office issued U.S. Patent No.
139,121, titled Fastening Pocket-Openings. The
’121 patent, which was granted to Jacob W.
Davis and jointly assigned to himself and to Levi
Strauss & Company, ushered in the era of denim
blue jeans.
The ’121 patent specifically related to copper
rivet fasteners for denim trousers, which proved
to be extremely desirable and durable.
Davis, a tailor by training, revolutionized fashion
after being asked by a customer if he could
create a durable pair of trousers for her
husband, who was a woodcutter. When Davis
created these pants he used the now familiar
copper rivet fasteners. Davis charged $3 for that
first pair of jeans in 1870. See Your Denim Jeans
Are a Nevada Invention.
The durable patents with the rivets turned out to
be extremely popular, with more and more
customers asking for Davis to make them a pair
of the rivet clad durable pants. It was at this point
that David thought that he was on to something
big, which lead him to want to patent what he had
invented. In order to accomplish this he
approached Levi Strauss and ask him to partner
with him. Strauss agreed and paid the patent
fees. See Jacob Davis and the Copper-riveted
Jeans.
The patent, which included only a single
photograph and text not even amounting to a full
page, described the invention as below:
Jacob further described the invention narrowly
with an eye toward known prior art, saying:
Source: Ipwatchdog.com
[The] invention relates to a fastening
for pocket-openings, whereby the
sewed seams are prevented from ripping
or starting from frequent pressure or strain
thereon; and it consists in the employment
of a metal rivet or eyelet at each edge of
the pocket-opening, to prevent the ripping
of the seam at those points. The rivet or
eyelet is so fastened in the seam as to bind
the two parts of cloth which the seam
unites together, so that it shall prevent the
strain or pressure from coming upon the
thread with which the seam is sewed.
“
“
I am aware that rivets have been used
for securing seams in shoes, as
shown in the patents to Geo. Houghton,
No. 64,015, April 23, 1867, and to L.K.
Washburn, No. 123, 313, January 30,
1872; and hence I do not claim broadly,
fastening of seams by means of rivets.
Having thus described my invention what I
claim as new, and desire to secure by
Letters Patent, is—
As a new article of manufacture, a pair of
pantaloous having the pocket-openings
secured at each edge by means of rivets,
substantially in the manner described and
shown, whereby the seams at the points
named are prevented from ripping, as set
forth.

  • 4. Denim Club : Your Window To The World Of Denim Apparel - Research May 2014 04DENIM CLUB INDIA Global denim research findings revealed by Invista INVISTA unveiled a summary of the results from its Global Men’s Denim Study at the first European Kingpins Show held at Amsterdam last week. The study covered consumer insights from over 3,000 male participants in Germany, Italy, India, China, the U.S. and Brazil and was conducted by ICM Research out of the U.K. The study was designed to better understand men’s purchase preferences related to denim and covered topics such as the key attributes men look for in jeans, how satisfied they are with current offerings, and where they get information about jeans. Top line results showed that the two most important attributes that men were seeking were ‘fit’ and ‘comfort’, yet 30% of participants felt current jeans offerings did not fully meet their expectations in these two areas. In the area of thermal comfort, over 80% of participants said they would be interested in jeans that would help them stay cool and dry in the summer or warm and dry in the winter. Yet less than 35% of participants felt current consumer selections addressed these needs. Out of a variety of commercial fabric brand names, the most preferred for a summer jean concept was the COOLMAX brand while the most preferred for the warm and dry concept was theTHERMOLITE brand. As per Jean Hegedus, INVISTA’s Global Denim Segment Director, the results reflect the consumer’s desire for performance clothing that can meet a variety of needs. “Today’s time starved consumers want garments that can simplify their lives and allow them to look good and feel comfortable under different circumstances,” Hegedus said. “Offerings like COOLMAX and THERMOLITE fabrics can help brands and retailers achieve this goal.” Reflecting a consumer shift from traditional to social channels of commerce, the survey showed that across all countries the internet was the most preferred source for information about jeans, followed by ‘friends.’ The results were presented by INVISTA at a seminar on May 7th at the first ever Kingpins Show in Europe. “This is the 29th Kingpins show INVISTA has sponsored and once again it has been a great success”, said Ebru Pirinccioglu, INVISTA Outerwear Marketing Segment Manager for EMEA. “Since the Dutch own more jeans per capita than people in any other country, Amsterdam provided us with the perfect location to showcase our innovations in denim, from our LYCRA dualFX technology for super-stretch garments that keep their shape, to thermal concepts such as our COOLMAX ALL SEASON and THERMOLITE technologies, and durable options such asTOUGH MAX LYCRAfabrics.” To highlight the benefits of its denim offerings, INVISTA commissioned a street dance team to perform in jeans made with their innovations during the Kingpins after-party. The high energy show was enthusiastically received by the crowd and highlighted the freedom of movement and other functional advantages that INVISTA fibres can bring to denim Source: Fibre2fashion.com
  • 5. Denim Club : Your Window To The World Of Denim Dyestuff - Sustainable Fashion May 2014 05DENIM CLUB INDIA Innovative New Color Effects by Archroma at Denim by Premiere Vision Archroma, a global leader in color and specialty chemicals, and the former textile, paper and emulsions businesses of Clariant, is looking to secure a home-win at this year’s Denim by Premiere Vision (DPV) in Barcelona with its amazing new effects for jeans that stand-out from the crowd. Barcelona is home to Archroma’s Global Denim Center and On May 21-22, at Denim By PV, its specialists will share their extensive expertise in ever more sustainable denim dyeing and color management, with the denim community, retailers and brand owners. Visitors to Booth B03 can look forward to garment collections and prototypes highlighting the potential of Archroma’s new technologies for more sustainable and exciting fashion and results. Bring out the hidden color of your jeans: A capsule collection of jeans will capture a highly- innovative new way for designers to play around with wash-down techniques to apply spectacular “local” effects and contrasts. The eye-catching results are achieved by combining Archroma’s new Optisul® C sulfur dyes – affinity-free sulfide-free dyes, suitable for GOTS and bluesign® approval – with select Printofix® Tpigments. Great casual collections made easy and sustainably: A collection of Chinos with high versatility in wash-down effects. Optisul® C dyes allow easier application than current techniques. Their use in a Pad-Dry/Pad-Dry process makes woven fabric dyeing with almost zero water consumption a real possibility. New way to color finishes: With Optisul® C liquid dyes, Archroma presents a new option to combine resins and dyes to create touches and finishes without compromising the casual final look. This new alternative for coloring finishings is especially suitable for “local” chemical wash- downs allowing to create more natural look than conventional pigment coloring. Blue garment collection alternative to indigo: Manufactured with eco-conscious ADVANCED DENIM technology and its Diresul® RDT Indicolors specialties. Yarn dyeing using Archroma’s ADVANCED DENIM technology helps adding to the desired “sustainable touch” with unlimited tones and shades. ADVANCED DENIM enables water consumption to be reduced by up to 92%, up to 87% of the usual cotton waste can be avoided, and up to 30% can be saved in energy costs compared to traditional denim processes. As ADVANCED DENIM technologies are being adopted by more and more denim mills around the globe, visitors will be able to see denim articles made using the technology at booths of important exhibitors at the show.
  • 6. Denim Club : Your Window To The World Of Denim Industry - Outlook DENIM CLUB INDIAMay 2014 06 Glut squeezes margins of denim manufacturers The glut in the denim industry has been aggravated by continued addition of capacity. The oversupply has not only exerted price pressure on denim mills but also forced some of them to reduce capacity utilisation by 20-30 per cent. Against a capacity of 1.3 billion metres, the domestic demand for denim is estimated to be around 600-700 million metres, and another 200-300 million metres are exported. The denim industry was functioning at a capacity of close to 1 billion metres per annum around a year ago. However, existing as well as new players have continued to add capacities. According to industry players denim fabric prices recently fell by 5-7 per cent in certain categories. he Ahmedabad-based Aarvee Denims & Exports Ltd is now partly producing non-denim fabric. "Our denim capacity utilisation is 70 per cent now. There has been both price and margin pressure due to overcapacity. We are forced to produce 30 per cent non-denim fabric," said Ashish Shah, the company's managing director. Aarvee Denims, which has 85 million metres per annum denim capacity, recently reduced prices by 5-7 per cent in certain fabric types. "Though we have not reduced prices yet, rising input costs are exerting pressure. It is yet to be seen if the pressure from rising input costs will be borne by denim producers or consumers," says Deepak Chiripal, CEO of Nandan Denim Ltd. Nandan Denim is in the process of adding capacity. From 80 million metres now, the Rs 900-crore company's denim capacity will cross 100 million metres by 2015. Some companies have been able to insulate themselves from glut in the domestic market by focusing on exports. "Over 60 per cent of our denim business comes from exports. This has helped us maintain 100 per cent capacity utilisation," said Jayesh Shah, director and CFO of Arvind Ltd, which has denim capacity of over 110 million metres. Source : Business-standard.com Orchid tones: With i t s t e a m o f c o l o r management specialists Archroma is at the forefront of supporting customers in choosing the best technical recipe and process for denim, woven and garment dyeing for collections based on this year’s color trend. Archroma helps customers turn technology into benefits that can be seen and felt. Sustainability calculator: Visitors will be able to evaluate the potential savings of ADVANCED DENIM using Archroma’s ONE WAY system. ONE WAY is a 3-step systematic approach to the selection of chemicals and production processes. ONE WAY was honored with the prestigious ICIS Innovation Award for Best Business Innovation 2013, and the effectiveness of its sustainability calculation system was confirmed in physical tests carried out by leading machine builder Fong’s. Nuria Estape, Project Manager for ADVANCED DENIM at Archroma, comments: “Archroma’s technologies aim at helping customers to take not only their creativity but also their environmental responsibility to new levels. With more than 2 billion pairs of jeans made every year all over the world, there is room to create with ADVANCED DENIM a much more sustainable denim industry! With the wide palette of tones and looks achievable through ADVANCED DENIM, we truly honor our slogan at the show: “We touch and color people’s lives every day, everywhere”. Source: Archroma.com
  • 7. Apparel - Collection Denim Club : Your Window To The World Of Denim DENIM CLUB INDIAMay 2014 07 Designer Eco-friendly jeans Jeans have always been a passion for Designer Shani Himanshu, creative director of indie label 11.11/eleven eleven. Having worked as a consultant with brands like Diesel, Levi’s and Gas Jeans, it was his experience that led him to create a collection of handmade denim. Created in association with Arvind Mills, the range is completely hand-crafted, uses very little electricity and reinforces his firm’s commitment to sustainable fashion. When Shani and design partner Mia Morikawa showcased this collection, “100% HANDMADE” at Lakme Fashion Week in March, the message was clear — wearing designer denim may be hip, but donning a pair of eco- friendly signature jeans is the epitome of cool. “We all wear denims. I think it’s good to wear something that’s has soul and character,” says Shani, of the unique line that celebrates the human touch, with its hand-spun yarn, hand- woven textile and a hand-stitched final product. Veteran designer Rajesh Pratap Singh has been making denim for export for a few years now. He married his love for khadi with denim over two years ago, and introduced his first khadi denim line. What started as a partnership with Arvind Limited is today a dedicated collection, with Singh sourcing part of the raw material from Arvind and spinning, weaving and dyeing the rest at his weaving centre in Neemrana, Rajasthan. “For us, it’s not just another fashion product. Khadi is an individualist fabric with a lot of history, a textile that is eco-friendly and innately Indian. And with this handmade, no- machine intervention line of jeans, we are creating a pure Indian product,” says Singh. Singh and 11.11/eleven eleven participated in a fashion show in April, titled ‘Denim India Made’, organised by the Denim Manufacturer’s Association. The primary focus was on authentic khadi denim. “India has been manufacturing denim for companies all over the world, according to their specifications and needs, with nothing intrinsically Indian in the final product. Just as how Japanese, Italian andAmerican denim have unique identities, we want to make something which is originally from India,” says Rajesh Gupta, creative head, Arvind Limited, denim division. Arvind is engaging with families of craftspeople who specialise in spinning, dyeing and weaving techniques with the support of the Khadi Board and its many institutions. With minimal utilisation of power in the ginning process and fewer pollutants released thanks to the natural indigo dyeing process, the final product is extremely environment-friendly. While khadi denim has found both creative and commercial clout, individual efforts like that of designer Deepika Govind are adding momentum to the cause. Govind launched her line of organic jeans “Denim Green” in 2012, after nearly four years of research and development. The range of hand- woven denim, dyed in pure indigo, remains her pet project and a testament to her commitment to all things natural. “It was during a stint at a huge denim manufacturing unit in Bangalore that I noticed that nearly 20 to 25 litres of water were wasted per pair from the beginning of the process till it reached the shelves,” says Govind. She chose to

Today, Denim Green sells in classic fits, comes with tea tree aroma wash, anti-bacterial wash and even retails with pure silver buttons. Designer Samant Chauhan who, worked on a pilot handloom denim line with the Ministry of Textile and the Denim Club, is looking to launch his own collection. “The handmade ideology resonates with our brand philosophy because handloom fabric has a very unique character,” says Chauhan. Like him, there are many who are discovering romance in the variable warp and weft of hand- spun denim. “There are effects built into the fabric with loom stop marks and high and low of fabric. These features only add to the texture of the denim,” says Gupta. And it’s these imperfections that Shani is counting on to lend individuality to his product. Each 100% HANDMADE khadi denim is hand- stitched and realised by one craftsperson, who autographs the finished garment and adds a serial number. This kind of labour intensiveness that adds to the price of the product and nudges it into the premium segment. “Apart from labour involved, there is a lot of expenditure that goes into research and development. This time and money could be earned back if there was a mass movement and costs could be controlled,” says Govind. And while the numbers might not add up yet — Arvind Limited manufactures nearly 9 million metres of regular denim per month, in comparison to just 3,000 metres of khadi denim — this does not deter Shani and Morikawa, who are experimenting with extra weft techniques and are working on making khadi denim from organic Kala Cotton. Singh is set to launch his 2014 edition of khadi denim in June.

  • 11. Denim Club : Your Window To The World Of Denim Industry - Historical Event DENIM CLUB INDIAMay 2014 11 Blue Jeans Patented May 20, 1873 An icon American fashion was patented on May 20, 1873, when the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued U.S. Patent No. 139,121, titled Fastening Pocket-Openings. The ’121 patent, which was granted to Jacob W. Davis and jointly assigned to himself and to Levi Strauss & Company, ushered in the era of denim blue jeans. The ’121 patent specifically related to copper rivet fasteners for denim trousers, which proved to be extremely desirable and durable. Davis, a tailor by training, revolutionized fashion after being asked by a customer if he could create a durable pair of trousers for her husband, who was a woodcutter. When Davis created these pants he used the now familiar copper rivet fasteners. Davis charged $3 for that first pair of jeans in 1870. See Your Denim Jeans Are a Nevada Invention. The durable patents with the rivets turned out to be extremely popular, with more and more customers asking for Davis to make them a pair of the rivet clad durable pants. It was at this point that David thought that he was on to something big, which lead him to want to patent what he had invented. In order to accomplish this he approached Levi Strauss and ask him to partner with him. Strauss agreed and paid the patent fees. See Jacob Davis and the Copper-riveted Jeans. The patent, which included only a single photograph and text not even amounting to a full page, described the invention as below: Jacob further described the invention narrowly with an eye toward known prior art, saying: Source: Ipwatchdog.com [The] invention relates to a fastening for pocket-openings, whereby the sewed seams are prevented from ripping or starting from frequent pressure or strain thereon; and it consists in the employment of a metal rivet or eyelet at each edge of the pocket-opening, to prevent the ripping of the seam at those points. The rivet or eyelet is so fastened in the seam as to bind the two parts of cloth which the seam unites together, so that it shall prevent the strain or pressure from coming upon the thread with which the seam is sewed. “ “ I am aware that rivets have been used for securing seams in shoes, as shown in the patents to Geo. Houghton, No. 64,015, April 23, 1867, and to L.K. Washburn, No. 123, 313, January 30, 1872; and hence I do not claim broadly, fastening of seams by means of rivets. Having thus described my invention what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is— As a new article of manufacture, a pair of pantaloous having the pocket-openings secured at each edge by means of rivets, substantially in the manner described and shown, whereby the seams at the points named are prevented from ripping, as set forth. “ “
