“…It was also found in a previous study that the use of modal and Tencel yarns with cotton in the denim reduced compressibility. 44 In this study, the compressibility feature of the fabric containing modal/Naia™ in the weft and warp directions was the highest, and the compressibility feature decreased when cotton and cotton/elastane yarns were used instead of Naia™ fiber in the weft direction. The ANOVA test showed that the fabric factor had a significant impact on the compressibility of the fabrics ( p = 0.00 < 0.05).…”

In this study, the thermophysiological comfort and objective hand properties of modal, Naia™, cashmere, and cotton containing denim fabrics were investigated. Therefore, the air permeability, thermal conductivity, thermal absorptivity, thermal resistance, water vapor permeability, overall flexural rigidity, and compressibility of the fabrics were examined. It was concluded that using Naia™ sustainable fiber improved the thermal comfort and objective hand properties of denim fabrics. The elastane containing fabrics (T5 and T6) were uncomfortable because of their lower air permeability, lower water vapor permeability and higher overall flexural rigidity properties. Sulfur dyeing only affects the thermal resistance of fabrics, and the thermal resistance of sulfur dyed fabrics is higher than that of indigo dyed fabrics with the same compositions.

“…[30,31] Ozone treatment Ozone (O3) is a powerful oxidizing agent that can be utilized in the batch-wise procedure to produce the effects of color fading in denim [19,24]. Ozone can be created using the corona discharge method or by exposing oxygen to UV (ultraviolet) light for use in industrial washing machines [39]. Ozone is a gas, not a liquid, thus it uses much less water because the materials must first be soaked before the color is removed [49].…”

n the last three decades, denim has been the most preferred material for dresses. Denim has waded into the acceptance of children, women, and men, from special wear to everyday wear. The current fashion shows that consumers are interested in wearing denim and believe it to be a comfortable material for clothing. In the 1980s, when denim was first introduced to the market, an effort was made to create cotton denim-style clothing using just 100% polyester threads. Denim is currently one of the most popular cotton dress fabrics, but in the future, blends may play a bigger part in denim.

In today's fashion industry, the sustainability of garment washing processes especially denim washing is unquestionably an important issue. A garment's design and aesthetic appeal have a big impact on how consumers opt to purchase. Denim enthusiasts now have a variety of alternatives, such as eco-denim initiatives, zero water technologies, oxygen and ozone washes, advanced and organic denim, and less harmful fabric dyeing and washing practices. Many of these choices may not be as environmentally friendly as they are advertised to be, though regardless of their marketing commitments. The goal of this research paper is to contrast the three traditional washing methods such as dark, medium, and light washes with their sustainable counterparts. The present research provides a detailed comparison of traditional and sustainable washing methods, highlighting their advantages and drawbacks. While both approaches can produce the about same appearances for the apparels, sustainable washing works out to be more effective, saving at least 25 minutes per wash. Sustainable light washing saves water consumption an additional 3.9 L/Kg garments, while medium and dark washing saves 14.44 L/Kg and 19.4 L/Kg garments. When compared to traditional washes, sustainable washes have reduced consumption of energy and chemical impact scores. Conventional methods of washings (35 for light, 42 for medium, and 49 for dark wash) have more EIM (Environmental Impact Measurement) score in a comparison to sustainable washing (14 for light, 21 for medium, and 23 for dark wash). It also indicates that environmentally friendly and more efficient washing practices are feasible. This provides an excellent illustration of how crucial ethical choices are. An environmental impact score of more than 66, as determined by the EIM software evaluation, is considered to be harmful to the environment whereas 0–33 indicates low effect, and 34–66 indicates medium impact.
