For the making of ourJeansGABRIEL we have selected a raw material that meets our requirements.

Nestled in the Ticino Valley Natural Park in northern Italy, the factoryCANDIANIfounded in 1938, spins and weaves raw materials with high environmental standards.

The manufacturing processes ofCANDIANIuse biodegradable plant components for fixing indigo. The materialsCANDIANIthus use up to 75% less water and 65% less coloring than aDENIMclassic.

The sons' historic signature “WARP 72”CANDIANIand the typical 3×1 weave gives the material of our JEAN GABRIEL a supple, soft and authentic texture.

Dyeing with INDIGO VEGETAL gives a rich appearance in nuances.

Woven in narrow widths on authentic shuttle looms, theDENIMKIDUR's JEAN GABRIEL is finished with a selvedgeSELVEDGEThe material is dense, the fabric gives a feeling of thickness and solidity. The weight of 13 ounces (oz) makes it a JEAN suitable for all times of the year, neither too heavy nor too light.

For the manufacture of our firstJEANS, we entrusted the making to a small team of artisan seamstresses from the Kidur factory gathered around Elise our prototyper. This small group, equipped with the appropriate machines and know-how, took care to assemble the pieces of the GABRIEL with traditional and resistant making. The seams were reinforced by various stop stitches and the traction points ensured by brass rivets.

GABRIELis entirely assembled by hand, without automation.

To make your clothes last longer, the care you take in their maintenance is essential, for this, we give you some advice for yourGABRIEL.
The material of your jeans is raw, meaning it has not been washed or treated after weaving and making. The indigo that gives it its typical color may leave blue marks during the first weeks of use. The raw fabric that makes up your pants is rough, meaning it still contains the treatment that allows its tight and dense weave, which gives it a “cardboard” feel. These characteristics fade over time and disappear after the first wash.

FIRST WASH
The first wash is important in the life of your jeans and we advise you to follow a few instructions. This first wash will remove excess indigo by bleeding and remove the finish from your jeans by softening and lightening the material. This step will also give the cut and final dimensions to your jeans. Upon purchase or after some time of use, the first wash should be done inside out, in the machine with a short cycle at 30°C maximum. Adding a glass of vinegar to the drum will help fix the indigo. Ideally, the drum should not only contain the jeans; the presence of other clothes that do not mind the blue of the indigo will prevent your pants from being balled up and showing mottling. Spin at 800 rpm maximum and air dry without creasing (on a hanger or flat).

DAILY LIFE
Machine washing our clothes accelerates their wear and tear. On a daily basis, spaced cycles at 30°C with a little detergent, a reduced spin speed of 800 rpm, and air drying are preferable to ensure greater longevity.
