Shop our curated selection of deadstock stretch & non-stretch denim include the iconic Cone Mills denim made in the USA, Japanese artisanal denim & more.
At Core Fabrics, our love for denim has inspired an exciting new addition: the 9.5oz Non-Stretch Eco Finish Re Denim. Crafted from certified recycled fibres, this denim goes through an innovative, eco-conscious finishing process that dramatically reduces water use, shortens wash times, cuts down on waste, and significantly boosts its Environmental Impact Measurement (EIM) score. The result? A soft, subtly textured fabric that’s not only a joy to wear but also kinder to the planet. This midweight denim is ideal for crafting timeless non-stretch jeans, classic jean jackets, durable overalls, and all sorts of workwear and accessories. Fully opaque, it doesn't require a lining.
Please note that this fabric is extra wide, so you may need less yardage than your pattern suggests!
Denim, originating from De Nîmes, France (hence the name!), flourished in the 19th century. As workwear gained prominence, denim production shifted to the United States, where some of the world's finest denim emerged for decades. However, many U.S. mills, including the iconic Cone Mills White Oak plant, have since closed. Despite some small-scale production persisting, the majority of denim is now made overseas. Japan leads the pack, with a deep passion for denim evidenced by their acquisition of vintage looms from American mills, some even meticulously restored. Italy, Spain, and Turkey also boast stunning and innovative denim creations.
