The main factors affecting consumers when selecting denim garments are aesthetics, appearance, and fashion. In addition to these aspects, denim clothing's comfort and functionality while being worn are crucial. In order to maximize the production of cotton-elastane denim fabrics, the goal of this article is to optimize various finishing methods. This study's research design comprises of an experimental investigation. Two different types of fabrics were chosen for analysis in order to determine the potential savings of finishing on the performance characteristics of fabrics. Using chemicals and modifying the basic materials, the finishing process can be made more efficient. The study's findings unmistakably demonstrated that the improved method is effective for producing denim fabric. The literature study revealed that there were few research examining denim materials' finishing procedures all at once. This study examined the impacts of finishing process optimization on the mechanical, thermal, and mechanical comfort parameters of drape, stiffness, and tear strength.
