The S-factor features for denim as sensational touch combined with sensation smoothing and shaping feature. The star of the direction is creora® Fit2 for 4 way stretch denim fabric with creora® eco-soft in warp and creora® in fill direction, for 360° flexible fit in perfectly constructed traditional twills through to super smooth sateen structures. In turn, a super soft touch is required, with a more rounded surface in super stretch and comfort stretch qualities.

Classic cotton/spandex/elastane blends feature alongside multi blends that deliver varying levels of power with the inclusion of syntethic and manmade yarns. Sponge-like in touch to seriously sensual and fluid with great drape and manipualtion, this new generation of denim perfection takes this staple product into a new league.

Bottom weights vary from 14 oz down to 10.5oz, with surface textures ranging from silky and velvettouch, to compact and milky. Denim in this direction is meant to embrace, smooth and sculpt at varying levels, dependent on the final application.
