My favorites are the 98/2 blend. The new ones that I like the look, but not the the feel, of are the 78/21/1 mix. So good to know! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/different-kinds-of-denim#post-1839299 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 19:05:38 +0000 SummerB 1839299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all your comments! definitely going to check out Kohl's/Nordstrom this weekend! (They're the closest to me lol) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/different-kinds-of-denim#post-1838490 Tue, 22 Aug 2017 01:45:14 +0000 Aquamarine 1838490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite fabrication is 98% cotton, 2% elastase....still cotton-rich, but with some stretch for comfort. Most of my jeans are from Nordstrom (designer denim), but I have some Gap and Madewell jeans too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/different-kinds-of-denim#post-1838487 Tue, 22 Aug 2017 01:42:13 +0000 delurked 1838487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Sterling too. I dislike 100% cotton and won't wear it. Too heavy, too hot, too uncomfortable, first too snug, then too loose. I like the addition of polyester, even if it shortens its lifespan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/different-kinds-of-denim#post-1838477 Tue, 22 Aug 2017 01:10:17 +0000 Anonymous 1838477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favourite jeans are like Sterling's: 78% cotton, 21% polyester 1% elastane. This fabric doesn't wrinkle, maintains its shape, and is very durable. I have found it to last considerably longer than all cotton, probably because of the polyester.</p> <p>The ones I have are from Silver. I should try Old Navy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/different-kinds-of-denim#post-1838449 Mon, 21 Aug 2017 23:46:16 +0000 binkle 1838449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Being of a generation that grew up when denim = Levis, I still prefer the traditional 100% cotton heavier type. I can deal with a teeny bit of stretch, and have gotten a lot of wears from a very sturdy Gap pair that I got in 2006. I did recently get a pair from R13 that is much thinner than traditional denim - I'm not quite used to it yet. R13 is quite pricey, however, so I think it will be a one-off for me. I'm actually living more in chinos now, haven't looked at too much denim lately. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/different-kinds-of-denim#post-1838419 Mon, 21 Aug 2017 22:03:58 +0000 Anonymous 1838419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I only recently started wearing denim. &nbsp;I wear: &nbsp;Old Navy (74% cotton; 24% polyester, 2% spandex) and Kut from the Kloth (Nordstrom: similar fabrication). &nbsp;</p> <p>I personally find the addition of polyester to make the fabric "lighter" and far more comfortable. &nbsp;I read on the internet how some denim enthusiasts will only wear 100% cotton. &nbsp;I am not one of them (too heavy; too hot). &nbsp;I also read that true denim enthusiasts do not like how blends stretch out. &nbsp;I personally have not found this to be an issue. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/different-kinds-of-denim#post-1838416 Mon, 21 Aug 2017 21:47:24 +0000 Thistle 1838416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I shop at Kohls.</p> <p>I wear denim on Fridays to the office, otherwise, I've opted for athleisure on weekends. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/different-kinds-of-denim#post-1838375 Mon, 21 Aug 2017 20:02:47 +0000 SummerB 1838375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've recently been learning about the various kinds of denim material used and was wondering which is your personal favorite and go to place to shop for denim? </p>
