Denim washing

Denim washing processes are many and varied. Often the objective is to distress the garment to achieve a desired appearance and to soften an otherwise harsh fabric. However, every small step in denim washing makes a big difference to the finished garment in denim manufacturing.

With our technical expertise, Coats can help you address the key challenges that various denim washing processes pose, allowing you to create high quality, iconic denim pieces that last a lifetime.

Coats’ expertise spans a wide range of denim washing processes, including:

Coats’ denim wash solutions

Coats’ range of sewing threads have been designed specifically to withstand the rigours of denim washing and to create distinctive denim pieces through contrast colours and other decorative applications.

Coats Dual Duty offers excellent wash-down characteristics and is perfect for a faded or wash-down thread colour following an industrial wash.
Coats Dual Duty True Indigo provides a unique faded effect similar to what you would get after popular wash down processes such as rinses, medium stone washes, double stone washes and bleach washes.
Coats Epic has good colour fastness compared with cotton threads and fades less than cotton – thread colour stays bold and bright throughout the garment’s lifetime.
Coats Epic Rugged is produced in a selected shade range for denim, using special selected dyestuffs which ensure minimum colour change following harsh bleach wash processes.

Denim dyeing

Minimise the negative impacts of denim dyeing processes with our technical expertise and superior product range.

Dyeing is a crucial part of the denim manufacturing process. However, it can create a whole range of issues including:

Seam puckering
Seam abrasion and compromised seam strength
Problems with seam extension in high stretch fabrics
Not achieving the desired finished appearance
Not achieving the desired softness
High post-dyeing damage and repair rates
Fabric shrinkage
Fabric swelling

To avoid these problems, choosing the right thread is crucial – Coats’ solutions for sewing post dyed garments have been specially developed to overcome the challenges associated with dyeing processes.

Coats Dual Duty Supercotton

A premium quality corespun sewing thread specially engineered for use in the
manufacture of post dyed cotton garments – it dyes as well as cotton but has the
