How much do you know about denim?

A good pair of jeans is inseparable from good workmanship, but the most basic part is denim fabric. The better the fabric fits the body, the more it has a charm, and the longer it is worn, the more denim it feels. And if the fabric is poor, you won’t be able to wear it if you wash it a few times.
