Best Answer

Yes Denim is a man made fabric.

Here are a few facts as well.

The word denim is an Americanization of the French name "serge de Nimes," a fabric which originated in Nimes, France during the Middle Ages. In 1864, Webster's dictionary listed the shortened English version: DENIM.

Italian sailors from Genoa wear cotton trousers and the French call Genoa and the people who live there, "Genes." The name "jeans" was applied to the pants as well.

The word dungarees (usually plural) is one of the few mainstream English words to have come from Hindi, one of the major languages of India. The source word in Hindi is dungr?, and refers to a type of coarse cloth.

In English, dungaree is usually used to refer specifically to blue denim fabric, and in plural to refer to clothes, especially trousers, made of such material.

Archaeologists found cotton fabric 5000 years old in west Pakistan.

48% of the world's trade in fabric is in cotton, from which denim is made.

At least 225 pair of denim jeans can be made from one bale of cotton.

Authentic blue denim takes its characteristic color from interweaving indigo (blue) and white threads. The term "blue denim" refers to colored/dyed denim.

The orange thread traditionally used to sew Levi Strauss' blue jeans was intentionally selected to match the copper rivets that doubled the durability of the jeans.

The cloth that Levi Strauss originally used was manufactured for tents, and this was just what the miners in the gold fields of California needed for their rugged lifestyle.
