Fabric buyers search for denim in specific weights, depending on the apparel or home furnishings slated for production. Heavier denim, though strong, retains a stiff, canvas-like appearance. Lighter denim has natural drape, making it better for garment construction, such as in jackets, vests, jeans, dresses and tops.
Manufacturers and designers label 100 percent cotton denim garments as "preshrunk" to alert consumers that the garment has already undergone shrinkage. Labels not including this information indicate that the garment most likely will shrink at a 1 to 3 percent after each laundering, depending on the weight and type of denim.
