The process of cloth making involves treating the fabric with a number of chemicals in order to produce clothing with such desirable characteristics such as durability, colorfastness, and comfort. Each step of finishing the cotton fabric (dyeing, sanforizing, etc.) produces byproducts, most of which are biodegradable.
Byproducts of denim manufacture include organic pollutants, such as starch and dye, which can be treated through biological methods. These organic wastes may not be dumped into streams or lakes because of their high biochemical oxygen demand. To decompose, such waste materials utilize so much oxygen that the lifeforms in the body of water would be denied the oxygen necessary for survival.
Denim manufacturers process their own wastes in compliance with all relevant government regulations.
Quality Control
Cotton is a desirable natural fiber for several reasons. Cloth made from cotton is wear resistant, strong, flexible, and impermeable. Blue jeans are only as good as the cotton that goes into them, however, and several tests exist for cotton fiber. All bales of cotton are inspected by the denim manufacturer for the desired color, fiber length, and strength. Strength is the most important factor in blue jeans. It is measured by using a weight to pull it. When the fiber breaks, the force used to break it is measured. The cotton's strength index (weight of weight divided by weight of sample) is then calculated.
The finished denim cloth is carefully inspected for defects. Each defect is rated on a government-defined scale ranging from one point for very small flaws to four points for major defects. Although government regulations allow cloth with a high defect rating to be sold, in reality customers will not accept denim with more than seven to ten defect points per square meter. Poor cloth is sold as damaged. Denim is also tested for durability and its tendency to shrink. Samples of cloth are washed and dried several times to see how they wear.
Durable twill-woven fabric with coloured (usually
blue) warp (lengthwise) and white filling (crosswise) threads, also sometimes
woven in coloured stripes. The name originated in the French serge de Nîmes. Denim is usually all-cotten
though it is sometimes made of a cotton-synthetic mixture. Decades of use in
the clothing industry, especially in the manufacture of overalls and trousers
worn for heavy labour, have demonstrated denim's durability, a quality that,
along with its comfort, made denim jeans extremely popular for leisure wear in
the late 20th century.

denims, (used with a pl. v.) clothes of denim. Dry or raw denim,
as opposed to washed denim, is a denim fabric that is not washed after being
dyed during its production. Over time, denim will generally fade, which is
often considered desirable. During the process of wear, it is typical to see
fading on areas that generally receive the most stress, which includes the
upper thighs workers the ankles (stacks) and behind the knees honey comes
After being crafted into an article of clothing, most denim is washed to
make it softer and to reduce or eliminate shrinkage which could cause an item
to not fit after the owner washes it. In addition to being washed, non-dry
denim is sometimes artificially "distressed" to produce a worn look.Much of the appeal of factory distressed denim is that it looks similar to dry denim that has, with time, faded. With dry denim, however, such fading is affected by the body of the person who wears the jeans and the activities of his/her daily life. This creates what many enthusiasts feel to be a more natural, unique look than distressed denim.
Blue jeans are also inspected after they are completed. If a problem can be corrected, the jeans are sent back for re-sewing. The pair is then inspected again and passed. The buttons are inspected to ensure that they and the buttonholes are of the proper size; the snaps, metal buttons, and rivets are checked for durability and their ability to withstand rust. The zippers must be strong enough to with-stand the greater pressures of heavy cloth, and their teeth durability must be checked as well. This is done by subjecting a sample zipper to a lifetime of openings and closings.
The life of an ordinary citizen at the time of the American Revolution could involve extraordinary events--hunting and farming in the wilderness, whaling, fighting in the war, and in one case, being captured by the British and held in England for forty-eight years, then returning a forgotten hero. This last was the case for one Israel Potter, whose partly imagined biography was written in 1855 by Herman Melville, who makes this remark towards the end of the book: "For a time back, across the otherwise blue-jean career of Israel, Paul Jones flits and re-flits like a crimson thread. One more brief intermingling of it, and to the plain old homespun we return.
