Navy blue denim is often used for jeans, skirts, shirt jackets and workwear-inspired styles when you want a more subdued alternative to black. The navy shade works well in core ranges and can be paired with both light and dark colours within the same collection.

The 195 g/m² weight gives a denim that drapes nicely in trouser legs and skirts, yet still has enough body to hold its shape. The elastane content provides better mobility in the garment and can reduce the risk of the fit feeling stiff in wear.

A question that often comes from purchasing is: How much elastane should there be in stretch denim? 5% elastane typically gives noticeable stretch without losing the denim look, and it is a level many manufacturers use for comfort jeans.

Fabric shops often buy navy as a “core colour” because it is easy to sell year-round. Smaller manufacturers choose it for runs where a consistent look and a colour that works across multiple sizes are important.

Wash at 30 degrees and inside out. Avoid tumble drying to protect the elastane.
