Specs

This denim of 10 oz is made of 80% cotton, 18% polyester and 2% spandex in a very rich blue that I adore. Its cotton composition makes it very soft, it absorbs fluids and it’s a fiber that will stretch over time resulting in faster perforations, this material has been tested intensively in order to know its crack point which is located at 6500 km travelled by bicycle.  It should be noted that these data may vary with your saddle type, the way you pedal and the maintenance of your garment must be taken into consideration, which varies from person to person. The tension points during pronounced humidity’s in the matter are at the level of the knees and groin. Its 18% polyester content makes it more durable, allowing it to last as long and makes the fabric a slightly thinner. Its percentage of spandex at 2% which makes it a bit elastic in order to stretch slightly during movements. The dye will decrease with the washing and at first it will tend to transfer on a white saddle and perhaps on your undergarments, this will vary depending on sweating during longer trips or on very hot days, and will eventually stabilize after a few washes

As this material is less elastic than the black denim or the Jodhpur fabric, according to my statistics, for the purchase of a particular size it must be a larger one.  If you take for example a medium in black denim and Jodhpur that are comparable in elasticity, you will have to take a large in the indigo denim otherwise it will be a little too tight for the waist and it will bother you.

This material can suit with a more casual outfit or even more chic, it will harmonize with a wider range of clothes in your wardrobe. It is also my favourite fabric, it compensates for the shortcomings in denims. It is made in a special way, the 50% nylon is on the top of the fabric which makes it slightly shiny by its synthetic fiber, on the other hand nylon is one of the most resistant fibers which is excellent for abrasion, signs of puncture and tears are not comparable to denim, no signs of discoloration or tears in the saddle area. The only puncture during the last 2 years of testing with several garments was a hole formed at the corner of a pocket linked to a solidification corner seam, which falls into the category variable depending on your use, your saddle and the way you pedal which cannot be considered recurrent. The 42% cotton is inside which makes it very soft against the skin. The ultimate point of this material is its elasticity at 8% in the length and width which makes it extremely elastic, so it harmonizes very well with any movement without giving points of tension in the knees or groin like denims. Due to its low cotton content it absorbs less fluid without limiting its elasticity which is perfect for hot days or during showers. It also does not fade with washing so the color will remain beautiful what is ideal with blacks. This material is the cream of the cream for its durability and comfort. The only drawback as nylon is a synthetic fiber it will tend to make small balls on top with friction, so watch out for this detail and use a razor to remove them. This phenomenon occurred mainly on the hips, due to the rubbing of the pouches, arms or backpacks, slightly on the cut-out of the saddle because the fabric is more crushed in a sitting position on the bike.
