Heavyweight Denim Fabric

If you're looking to make some Muna and Broad Jeans, then you'll likely be looking for heavyweight denim fabric, 10oz or more!

Fabric for our Jeans

Our jeans are specifically designed for rigid denim with a fit that maintains comfort, even with the heaviest weight fabric. They're designed to be sewn with heavyweight, non-stretch fabric at least 10oz/340gsm. We suggest heavyweight rigid denim, bull denim, heavyweight canvas, or non-stretch corduroy. 12oz fabric would be what we'd recommend first, but 10oz will be suitable.
