merchant&mills | 11.5 oz cotton denim ecru

Imagine holding pure natural feeling in your hands – the 11.5 oz Ecru Denim is like an untouched linen field at dawn. Merchant & Mills has created the perfect stage here for all those who like it natural, artisanal, and at the same time robust. Unobtrusive in color and no less characterful than many denim fabrics – a style without fuss, with inner strength.

The fabric presents itself in a delicate ecru – a mild creamy, unbleached tone that looks soft but has more to offer than you think. The 11.5 oz (about 393 g/m²) heavy cotton provides a stable yet easy-to-sew texture with a slight crunch to the touch. Pre-washed (pre‑shrunk) means: no later distortion, just even sewing. Color variations are subtle but charming – perfect for cool sewing ideas with a certain understatement.
