What Is Sanforization
Sanforization is a treatment process patented by inventor Sanford Lockwood Cluett in 1930 to avoid shrinkage. It is mainly applied to cotton fabrics and textiles made from natural or chemical fibers. The method fixes the woven cloth in both length and width before cutting and producing, to reduce the shrinkage which would otherwise occur after washing. This is mainly an interesting procedure for dry (unwashed) pairs of jeans as pre-washed jeans are already washed in the factory. The results of Sanforization leads to around 1% – 3% shrinkage with home laundry, compared to 10% with Unsanforized fabrics.
