weaves, especially compared to denim with a 2×1
weave (under 10.5 Oz /square yard).

Left Hand Twill weave runs diagonally from right
to left, which produces denim that is a bit softer
than RHT. Left hand twill are also more desirable

twills have the tendency to stretch out and stay
baggy until washed. However washing in a sense
resets the fabric.
