Manufacturing
Process of Jeans
Weaving
the denim Fabric
A pair of jeans starts its life from a cotton field. The cotton
is picked and processed into bales. Bales are separated into small tufts and
inspected for contaminants.
The carding machine removes contaminants, disentangles, and
straightens the cotton into cotton threads. The slivers are spoon by the
spinning machines and made into yarn.
Indigo dye is added to the yarn and later coated with a
starch compound to straighten the threads. White and dyed yarn are then woven
together to form a bluish thread cloth. The resultant cloth is the popular
denim fabric.

Making
the Jeans Trousers
The finishing process is applied to the denim cloth to
remove lint and loose threads. It is then skewed and preshrunk stacked into
layers and cut.
A cutting machine cuts the cloth into several pieces
comprising pockets, belt loops, leg panels and 7 other pieces. Industrial
sewing machines perform different sewing functions along the assembly line.
The 10 pieces are systematically sewn together to produce
the jeans trouser. The resultant jeans is prewashed or stonewashed when
applicable.
Additional techniques are implemented for different
effects such as fade look, and worn-out look. The final process is pressing the
jeans using an industrial iron. The finished product is packaged according to
measurement, color, style and design.
