What is ounce?
There's a reason to be curious about what your denim weighs!
This knowledge will tell you something about your item's feel and durability. Denim fabrics are measured in ounces (oz.), which is relevant when you want to know how heavy and dense the fabric used in the style is. The higher the number of ounces, the heavier the denim.
There are different approaches to categorising the ounces, but our pieces of denim are divided into these categories:
- Less than 12 oz. - lightweight denim
- 12-16 oz. - midweight denim
- Above 16 oz. - heavyweight denim
Lightweight denim will give you a soft, lighter piece that is easy to wear. On the other end of the scale, the heavyweight will build character by the thick and stiff look.
We hope it made you wiser and that you are ready to go into the world, sounding like a true denim expert!
