Abstract
Leg twist in jeans made of twill fabrics may be avoided by skewing the fabric clockwise or counterclockwise depending on the twill direction before making the garment so that when the garment is laundered the positions of the warp and filling yarns will remain unchanged with respect to each other. For denim an 8% skew based on fabric width introduced in manufacturing the denim gives straight seams throughout the life of the garment.
