- Cone Mills Indigo Extra-Wide Denim - A true indigo, this denim is soft and smooth, and surprisingly thin for its weight. If you're looking to sew a classic dark pair of jeans, this is the fabric for you.
- Cone Mills Charcoal Extra-Wide Denim - Somewhere between black and indigo, this charcoal denim will age beautifully into a muted, steely pair of jeans. Heavyweight, it is sturdy but not too thick, which makes it a great option for jeans.
- Cone Mills Crosshatch Denim - The crosshatch weave means there are slight variations in the twill weave, thus adding some visual interest to the dark face of the fabric. If you're looking to sew a classic dark pair of jeans, this is the fabric for you.
