Jeans sales declining with 
consumers opting for comfort 
August 2014 DENIM CLUB INDIA 05 
Currently denim seems to be suffering from the 
blues with domestic sales of jeans having 
dropped 6 percent last year, worrying some 
manufacturers and prompting VF Corp, the 
maker of Wrangler and Lee brand jeans to set up 
a think-tank to come up with other ways of using 
the distinctive and hard-wearing dyed blue 
cotton twill. 
Even Levi Strauss & Co, a name synonymous 
with jeans, is struggling, with second-quarter 
revenue dropping 2 percent from last year and 
net profit falling a whopping 76 percent because 
of falling sales in the U.S. It also cuts 800 jobs -- 
20 percent of its non-retail and non-factory 
positions -- as part of a plan to save up to $200 
million a year. 
A growing trend in casual wear is all about 
comfort, and denim is struggling to find its place. 
Retail and fashion experts alike are not afraid to 
admit the new look, coined "athleisure," is all the 
rage from teens turning to leggings instead of 
jeans and moms sporting their yoga-wear 
everywhere and all day long. 
"There isn't an 'it' item for back-to-school like we 
had two years ago," said Dana Telsey, CEO and 
chief research officer at Telsey Advisory Group. 
"What there are, there are certainly dusters and 
dresses, there's these crop tops that seem to be 
working and anything with the athletic bent. 
Athletic and activewear are certainly the new 
everyday wear and that's happening no matter 
what age people are." 
Jean sales are down 6 percent year-over-year, 
according to NPD Group and retailers have 
taken notice. Marshal Cohen, chief industry 
analyst of The NPD Group said "A 6-percent 
drop may not seem like much, but it's rare for 
denim to take such a dramatic drop. It's a 
commodity business, we buy it and replenish it 
all the time." 
VF Corp has noted the decline, with Scott Baxter 
who heads the company's jeanswear business, 
recently saying that its Lee brand, with a 60:40 
ratio of women-to-men sales suffered a decline 
of about 15 percent in the United States. 
Interestingly, Wrangler, with only 20 percent of 
revenue coming from the women's category, 
saw a single-digit increase in the Americas. 
Baxter told investors that in the Americas, the 
jeanswear business was facing continued 
challenges "due to the ongoing unfavorable 
women's denim trend." 
Piper Jaffray's biannual "Taking Stock of Teens" 
survey shows over the last two years teen girls' 
brand preferences have moved away from 
denim names like Levi's, Guess, and American 
Eagle toward athletic names like Nike, 
Lululemon, Athleta, Urban Outfitters and 
Victoria's Secret. 
Affluent teens surveyed by Piper Jaffray listed 
leggings/Lululemon as the top fashion trend for 
two seasons in a row. Part of the blame for the 
denim doldrums, according to Piper Jaffray', is the 
lack of "fashion newness" in the market and the 
innovation of fabric technology in recent years. 
That innovation is now driving jeans companies 
to diversify in order to stay current with the 
consumer. Joe's Jeans is turning to "alternative 
fabrication" and will be introducing several non-denim 
programs for the fall to include leggings 
made with "innovative textiles." The company 
said in July it recognizes leggings as one of the 
fastest-growing segments in the market. 
The Gap, which may be bucking the trend 
through its sportswear retailer Athleta, feels the 
denim fatigue fad is not new. 
"Fashion denim is cyclical. Currently, mid- and 
high-waist denim styles are trending, in addition 
to soft pants. Denim is still a dominant category 
for us at Gap and Old Navy, and we are 
committed to continuous innovation," said 
spokeswoman Edie Kissko. 
But the NPD Group's Cohen begs to differ, 
saying the risk for retailers is that the "athleisure" 
love affair could have a lasting effect.

Hudson Jeans launches FW2014 campaign 
HUDSON Jeans, the California-based, premium 
denim company, has announced its brand re-positioning 
Peter Kim. "Just like our customer, HUDSON 
Jeans will always evolve - but no matter what 
changes, we will always be committed to making 
premium quality, great fitting jeans. And that

August 2014 DENIM CLUB INDIA 06 
within the denim market the official 
global launch of its new FW2014 campaign on 
August 15, 2014. 
Peter Kim, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, 
HUDSON Jeans said "The premium denim 
landscape has changed. It's matured and 
expanded. There are an abundance of brands 
playing in this arena, with new competition 
coming in every day. As a founding brand in the 
premium denim market, it served us well to fit in 
with the other brands that we helped establish 
this category with. Unfortunately we allowed 
ourselves to follow conventional brand behavior 
specific to the fashion industry. That ends right 
now. We're redefining HUDSON Jeans, and 
with it, the denim category." 
Steering away from its past campaigns, the new 
FW2014 theme uses inspirational messages 
and real people with compelling stories that 
convey passion, craftsmanship, and optimism. 
Defying convention, the company is doing away 
with using unnecessary retouching on models in 
their ads and will unveil a brand new logo 
emphasizing its new message of truth and self-expression. 
"We want to help inspire and empower people to 
be their truest selves and live passionately," said Source: Prnewswire.com

Research for Indigo Dyeing of yarn receives large Grant 
Texas Tech University’s Fiber and Biopolymer 
Research Institute has announced that a 
research project for indigo dyeing of yarn has 
been awarded over $470,000 in funding by the 
Wal-Mart Foundation. 
The study, titled “Foam Indigo Dyeing of Cotton 
Yarns: Machine Design and Process Control,” 
received a grant from the Wal-Mart Foundation, 
based in Bentonville, Arkansas. 
As per Dean Ethridge, Managing Director, Fiber 
and Biopolymer Research Institute (FBRI) the 
project is aimed at reducing the amount of water, 
contaminants, time, labor, floor space and 
expense needed to apply indigo dye to denim 
yarns. 
The Fiber and Biopolymer Institute’s research 
team is attempting to determine machine design 
parameters and process controls necessary for 
the foam application of pre-reduced indigo on 
yarns. By doing so, it could provide a more cost-efficient 
August 2014 DENIM CLUB INDIA 09 
and ecologically sound method of 
dyeing denim. 
“Wal-Mart has long been a mainstay of the retail 
sector in this region of Texas, and cotton has 
long been ‘king’ here,” Ethridge said. “Now the 
Wal-Mart Foundation is enabling crucial 
developmental research into one of the most 
dominant cotton textile products in the world – 
indigo dyed denim. 
Success in the project would reduce the water 
used to indigo dye denim by more than 90 
percent. It would introduce a new paradigm for 
indigo dyeing that would enable drastic 
reductions in costs and drastic improvements in 
environmental impacts. Undoubtedly it would be 
among the greatest legacies of Texas Tech 
University’s Fiber and Biopolymer Research 
Institute. 
Use of foam application, not only saves on water 
but is more environmentally friendly, and 
researchers hope to make process of indigo 
dyeing of denim more efficient, which is one of 
the largest cost components of denim fabric 
manufacturing. Indigo dye is a natural organic 
dye that has been synthetically produced and 
used as the main colorant of denim, particularly 
blue jeans, for more than 100 years, according 
to Ethridge. 
“We are extremely pleased that FBRI has 
received this major grant from the Wal-Mart 
Foundation,” said Michael Galyean, dean of the 
College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural 
Resources. “This work, which involves 
collaboration with the industry to develop more 
cost-effective and environmentally friendly 
dyeing methods for fabrics, reflects the real-world 
focus of our scientists at FBRI and their 
commitment to apply science to everyday life.” 
The grant, one of several awarded by the Wal- 
Mart Foundation, was announced at the 
company’s U.S. Manufacturing Summit in 
Denver. Texas Tech’s grant was one of seven 
awarded by the foundation to various projects. 
“We are delighted that FBRI has brought us in as 
a partner in this important effort,” said Robert V. 
Duncan, Texas Tech vice president for research. 
“Coloring cotton is actually a very complex 
process, and innovations such as foam 
technology over conventional liquid-phase 
dyeing may ultimately result in lower process 
costs and hence a better value for the customer. 
This application of basic science to achieve 
better industrial results is exactly the sort of 
research that we intend to expand upon in the 
future.” 
The Fiber and Biopolymer Research Institute, a 
110,000-square-foot facility located on East 
Loop 289 just north of 19th Street, conducts 
research and testing of natural and man-made 
fibers in order to increase the use of natural fibers 
in textile manufacturing in Texas. It also focuses 
on production and evaluation of yarns and 
fabrics, alternative textile processing systems, 
dyeing and finishing of fibers and special yarn 
and fabric treatments.

  • 5. Denim Club : Your Window To The World Of Denim Industry - Apparel Jeans sales declining with consumers opting for comfort August 2014 DENIM CLUB INDIA 05 Currently denim seems to be suffering from the blues with domestic sales of jeans having dropped 6 percent last year, worrying some manufacturers and prompting VF Corp, the maker of Wrangler and Lee brand jeans to set up a think-tank to come up with other ways of using the distinctive and hard-wearing dyed blue cotton twill. Even Levi Strauss & Co, a name synonymous with jeans, is struggling, with second-quarter revenue dropping 2 percent from last year and net profit falling a whopping 76 percent because of falling sales in the U.S. It also cuts 800 jobs -- 20 percent of its non-retail and non-factory positions -- as part of a plan to save up to $200 million a year. A growing trend in casual wear is all about comfort, and denim is struggling to find its place. Retail and fashion experts alike are not afraid to admit the new look, coined "athleisure," is all the rage from teens turning to leggings instead of jeans and moms sporting their yoga-wear everywhere and all day long. "There isn't an 'it' item for back-to-school like we had two years ago," said Dana Telsey, CEO and chief research officer at Telsey Advisory Group. "What there are, there are certainly dusters and dresses, there's these crop tops that seem to be working and anything with the athletic bent. Athletic and activewear are certainly the new everyday wear and that's happening no matter what age people are." Jean sales are down 6 percent year-over-year, according to NPD Group and retailers have taken notice. Marshal Cohen, chief industry analyst of The NPD Group said "A 6-percent drop may not seem like much, but it's rare for denim to take such a dramatic drop. It's a commodity business, we buy it and replenish it all the time." VF Corp has noted the decline, with Scott Baxter who heads the company's jeanswear business, recently saying that its Lee brand, with a 60:40 ratio of women-to-men sales suffered a decline of about 15 percent in the United States. Interestingly, Wrangler, with only 20 percent of revenue coming from the women's category, saw a single-digit increase in the Americas. Baxter told investors that in the Americas, the jeanswear business was facing continued challenges "due to the ongoing unfavorable women's denim trend." Piper Jaffray's biannual "Taking Stock of Teens" survey shows over the last two years teen girls' brand preferences have moved away from denim names like Levi's, Guess, and American Eagle toward athletic names like Nike, Lululemon, Athleta, Urban Outfitters and Victoria's Secret. Affluent teens surveyed by Piper Jaffray listed leggings/Lululemon as the top fashion trend for two seasons in a row. Part of the blame for the denim doldrums, according to Piper Jaffray', is the lack of "fashion newness" in the market and the innovation of fabric technology in recent years. That innovation is now driving jeans companies to diversify in order to stay current with the consumer. Joe's Jeans is turning to "alternative fabrication" and will be introducing several non-denim programs for the fall to include leggings made with "innovative textiles." The company said in July it recognizes leggings as one of the fastest-growing segments in the market. The Gap, which may be bucking the trend through its sportswear retailer Athleta, feels the denim fatigue fad is not new. "Fashion denim is cyclical. Currently, mid- and high-waist denim styles are trending, in addition to soft pants. Denim is still a dominant category for us at Gap and Old Navy, and we are committed to continuous innovation," said spokeswoman Edie Kissko. But the NPD Group's Cohen begs to differ, saying the risk for retailers is that the "athleisure" love affair could have a lasting effect. Source: Nbcnews.com

  • 9. Industry - Research Denim Club : Your Window To The World Of Denim Research for Indigo Dyeing of yarn receives large Grant Texas Tech University’s Fiber and Biopolymer Research Institute has announced that a research project for indigo dyeing of yarn has been awarded over $470,000 in funding by the Wal-Mart Foundation. The study, titled “Foam Indigo Dyeing of Cotton Yarns: Machine Design and Process Control,” received a grant from the Wal-Mart Foundation, based in Bentonville, Arkansas. As per Dean Ethridge, Managing Director, Fiber and Biopolymer Research Institute (FBRI) the project is aimed at reducing the amount of water, contaminants, time, labor, floor space and expense needed to apply indigo dye to denim yarns. The Fiber and Biopolymer Institute’s research team is attempting to determine machine design parameters and process controls necessary for the foam application of pre-reduced indigo on yarns. By doing so, it could provide a more cost-efficient August 2014 DENIM CLUB INDIA 09 and ecologically sound method of dyeing denim. “Wal-Mart has long been a mainstay of the retail sector in this region of Texas, and cotton has long been ‘king’ here,” Ethridge said. “Now the Wal-Mart Foundation is enabling crucial developmental research into one of the most dominant cotton textile products in the world – indigo dyed denim. Success in the project would reduce the water used to indigo dye denim by more than 90 percent. It would introduce a new paradigm for indigo dyeing that would enable drastic reductions in costs and drastic improvements in environmental impacts. Undoubtedly it would be among the greatest legacies of Texas Tech University’s Fiber and Biopolymer Research Institute. Use of foam application, not only saves on water but is more environmentally friendly, and researchers hope to make process of indigo dyeing of denim more efficient, which is one of the largest cost components of denim fabric manufacturing. Indigo dye is a natural organic dye that has been synthetically produced and used as the main colorant of denim, particularly blue jeans, for more than 100 years, according to Ethridge. “We are extremely pleased that FBRI has received this major grant from the Wal-Mart Foundation,” said Michael Galyean, dean of the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources. “This work, which involves collaboration with the industry to develop more cost-effective and environmentally friendly dyeing methods for fabrics, reflects the real-world focus of our scientists at FBRI and their commitment to apply science to everyday life.” The grant, one of several awarded by the Wal- Mart Foundation, was announced at the company’s U.S. Manufacturing Summit in Denver. Texas Tech’s grant was one of seven awarded by the foundation to various projects. “We are delighted that FBRI has brought us in as a partner in this important effort,” said Robert V. Duncan, Texas Tech vice president for research. “Coloring cotton is actually a very complex process, and innovations such as foam technology over conventional liquid-phase dyeing may ultimately result in lower process costs and hence a better value for the customer. This application of basic science to achieve better industrial results is exactly the sort of research that we intend to expand upon in the future.” The Fiber and Biopolymer Research Institute, a 110,000-square-foot facility located on East Loop 289 just north of 19th Street, conducts research and testing of natural and man-made fibers in order to increase the use of natural fibers in textile manufacturing in Texas. It also focuses on production and evaluation of yarns and fabrics, alternative textile processing systems, dyeing and finishing of fibers and special yarn and fabric treatments. Source: Today.ttu.edu
