Khadi Denim – 100% cotton, hand-spun and hand-woven denim – was innovated and introduced by Denim Club India, as a part of its Handloom Denim Initiative, to further the cause of sustainability and eco-friendly fashion.
Denim Club continues to be the market leader simply by virtue of the wide range and variety it offers in khadi selvedge denim fabric – ranging from 4.5 oz (150 gsm) to 10+ oz (more than 300 grm) – which can be used for making high-fashion apparel – for men and women – be it shirts, kurtas, dresses, jackets, trousers, jeans, and much more.
It is important to understand that all hand-woven denim is NOT Khadi Denim, though many brands and designers do promote and propagate many such products.
What is Khadi Denim?
A three-up, one-down (3×1 twill weave) fabric woven by hand – on manually operated shuttle looms – using hand-spun yarn qualifies as KHADI DENIM.
As a matter of fact, authentic Khadi Denim fabric is very rare to find in today’s world!!!
For a fabric to be called “khadi denim“, it is essential that it has been made from “hand-spun” yarns, and woven manually on handlooms, in a dense construction of the Three Up, One Down (3×1) twill weave.
Hand-spun Yarn
A yarn that has been spun out of the fibres using a manually operated “charkha” qualifies to be called a “hand-spun” yarn.
