One hallmark feature of our comfortable cotton pants is the unique khadi fabric. With characteristic texture and charm, Khadi fabric literally refers to cotton fabric which is handwoven from handspun cotton yarn. However, the texture alone isn’t the cause for its celebrity status. Khadi fabric is famous for its association with Mahatma Gandhi and India’s independence movement, when Gandhiji proclaimed that the simple, earthy fabric represented the beginning of India’s economic freedom and equality. Today Khadi fabric is still celebrated as the symbol of India’s rural craft heritage. Visually distinctive, even the most modern urbanite enjoys Khadi’s textural feel.
