NYDJ Goes Deep with Endless Blue Wash

Jan 2, 2023

“The secret is the makeup of the denim fabric itself. Milled by Cone Denim, IndigoLast achieves its color from a blend of navy fiber-dyed TENCEL™ Modal (41 percent) and navy Repreve (52 percent), a recycled polyester derived from plastic waste.

The combination of cellulosic and synthetic fibers (mixed with 2 percent Lycra and 5 percent polyester) yields a yarn with fade-resistant properties, which also requires 64 percent less water to process and fewer chemicals during the dyeing process. Overall, NYDJ said the fabric is estimated to have a 50 percent to 60 percent lower environmental impact that conventionally dyed denim.”
