  • US Imports of Denim Apparel Recovers a Little

    The US Imports of denim apparel , which was showing a decline of over 10% till May this year  compared to 2011, seem to have recovered a little . The latest figures show that the US imports of denim apparel for the period Jan- Sept. 2012 is down only by 5.8% as compared to similar period in 2011.
    Though the imports are still lower than that in 2011, the reduced difference reflects a positive sentiment and an indication of better times to come in 2013.  On the ground too, the retailers are reflecting optimism and their orders too have firmed up  . On the whole, we can look forward to a better year ahead.

    However, there is one downside. The average price of denim apparel, which had , till mid of this year ,  been higher than 2011, has fallen and is now about 3.45% lower than that in 2011  reducing from $7.98 to $7.71 a piece.
    This is also a reflection of falling cotton prices and stronger dollar ,  but on the whole industry should not be very unhappy.

  • Yarn Conversion Calculator

    Remember our “GSM  and Fabric weight calculator”  that we had put on our site last year for helping to convert the weight of fabric into GSM and  Oz/Sq. Yd and vice versa ? 
    We are now adding another calculator to this section – the “Yarn conversion calculator” . This calculator is useful for converting the yarn parameters into different units at one go.
    Eg , what is the conversion of 600 Denier into English Cotton Counts and Tex and Metric systems ? Just enter 600 , select Denier and click ‘ Convert It’..  You will immediately find the values of 600 Denier converted into different Yarn count systems and even those like Linen and woolen systems.

    Yarn Conversion calculator

    For easy remembrance of our calculator section, just remember our site name ie Denimsandjeans.com and add ‘Calculators’ after a slash – www.denimsandjeans.com/calculators

    If our readers suggest need for more calculators , we will put them up . Just leave in comments below .
