This improved textile presented an amazing opportunity to experiment further with garment production. Makers manufactured this denim with a jacquard loom to reproduce the selvedge (fabric edge) and then produced the main body of the denim using a shuttle loom. This process takes a tremendous amount of time and effort. In order to preserve the hand-woven texture (making each garment subtly unique), they incorporated a cotton nep thread as well as a thick linen thread which is twisted into the weft of the denim. By weaving in thicker threads than usual and weaving them by hand with a shuttle loom over a long period of time, the textile is soft, comfortable, with almost an airy feel. Although it is made of only natural materials, it has good elasticity due to the characteristics of the weft. All in all, it takes about half a year from start to finish; from dyeing the threads to weaving the fabric.
