The
Bamboo Collection is made from tensile natural fibres giving a much softer and
more sensual feel to cotton based fabrics. Because of the greater tensile
strength of eucalytpus the fabric is more 'recoverable' and therefore suffers
less from deformation.
This means that over time your jeans will be less
likely to lose their original shape from stretching.
These materials are
also much less susceptible to fading through washing. The want is that your
bamboo collection jeans become the one you love and has the longest life.
To
produce the depth of colour Monkee Genes are known for, we double dye the
material before making the jeans. This differs from the standard method of
'over-dyeing' pre-made garments which is highly destructive to the fibres.
Our process means that each jean is manufactured with the colour in mind and
ensures those colours remain rich and consistent. The care that is taken in the
making of this jean gives the Inky range a hand crafted appeal.
All
elements of this garment are organically sourced and certified as so by the Soil
Association and hold the
G.O.T.S.
certificate (Global Organic Textile Standard).
Our
twill materials are 'combed' to give a soft and sensual feel.
The
material used to make these jeans is 'piece dyed' to ensure that each jean is
manufactured with the colour in mind, this also ensures rich and consistent
colouring. This differs from the standard method of 'over-dyeing' already made
garments which is more destructive to the product than stone washing. Over
dyeing can also produces a bland and limp product.
Our sateen is piece-dyed: along with the thread and zip tape. This process results
in the equivalent of food made in a good restaurant rather than a takeaway
over-dyed soulless product.
Manufacturing in this way is also less
destructive to the cotton fibres than the over dyeing method. The overall effect
is vibrant.
All elements of the garment are organically sourced and
certified as so by the Soil Association and

certification.
The brushed sateen is the same as the Sateen above, but with the additional process
of brushing the fabric, which gives a warmth and a soft texture to the sateen.
The Supa-Skinny has a lower rise than the classic skinny. The curved waistband moulds into the nape of your back. The secure feel of your own contour feeding your energy.
The Chino Fit has been developed to hang well but with a degree of recoverable stretch. Our chinos come in two different weights: autumn weight and lightweight. Both weights are similar in design but the autumn weight utilises a thicker cotton material for extra warmth. If the sun shines wear your lightweight, need to feel cosy grab your heavies.
The Skin-Fit envelopes the whole shape of the body like a second skin. Unlike leggings and jeggings the Monkee Skin Fit is a constructed garment and gives you shape. It is sensual and evolves your rhythm.
