James Jeans
Mainstream denim brand James Jeans is taking a different approach to eco. While the jeans are not made of organic cotton, the process that they go through to achieve the different washes is green. Rather than using potassium promagnate and a washing machine to "age" the jeans, the company hand brushes a mix of tea leaves, coffee and other natural "reactants" on each pair and then dries them in the open air and sunshine..

Why Eco friendly Jeans?
Eco friendly fabrics embrace the body with a soft and supple touch. Eco friendly labels are now appearing on many products, due to the efforts of the companies to be perceived as environment friendly. Health concerns represent a potential source of benefits and demand for organic apparel. Hence, these garments are manifested as most important for children who are perceived to be more susceptible to toxins.
Not only the fibres used for manufacturing the garments are organic, but the dyes used in the process of making these clothes are also environmentally friendly, or those which have a less impact on the human skin.
Furthermore, eco friendly apparels are finding favors with environmentally savvy fashion designers. Until recent times, organic clothes were regarded as coarse, uncomfortable and unappealing. But now, it is becoming fashionable to wear eco friendly clothing. Many designers are coming out with eco friendly outfits made from organic cotton and using other dyes which are free from hazardous chemicals. Though the range of styles is lesser when compared with other materials, new patterns and styles are being developed to keep pace with the growing demand for organic clothing.
