The only reason I give this a mere 4 stars is that I'd be happier if it was 14 oz denim. Otherwise this is fabulous. I've used it for slipcovers pants even my most recent project - beanbags. It washes beautifully dyes nicely holds the dye well... a very nice fabric and even nicer for the price.

I got the natural denim to make slipcovers for some chairs. I made a slipcover for my sofa with a heavier natural denim previously. I prefer the heavier denim but am still very satisfied with the bull denim. It is great for slipcovers!

The quality of the denim seems to change every few months. The weight feel and weave of the bolt I received is very different from what I bought at the store a few months ago. I went back to the storefront where there were 2 other completely different fabrics that are both classified as "Bull Denim". Quality control seems to be a big issue with this fabric.

I'm super pleased with the price and quality of this fabric. I used this fabric to sew a pair of 1940's Katherine Hepburn style wide-leg trousers. They look absolutely gorgeous- soft and comfortable with just enough body and heft to look a lot more expensive than they are. I bought the bleached white with the idea I would dye the finished pants black or navy but they honestly look so bright and stunning in white I couldn't bring myself to dye them. I would however love it if Dharma stocked this in black or some other dark color because I still want to sew a pair of dark trousers. As it is I'm going to buy more and try dyeing it the fiber-reactive dye.

This denim is beautiful. Not only does it dye great but after washing and drying it is so soft It does seem to "puff up" and get thicker after initial washing which I love. I'm placing my second order today.

Very nice and thick. Think of a good pair of jeans. I'm using the natural color for custom dyed cargo pants and backpacks. Takes dye really well and evently. First time I bought 10 yards next time I might just buy the bolt!

Very happy with the quality and the price. Have to say I think the quality has improved immensely as I have not had any problems with the bull denim for several years. Love the weight the softness after dyeing and washing and the fact that it does not take a ton of scouring to get the fabric ready to dye.

I bought this in "natural" to test eco prints for a denim jacket. Pros: Good weight for a jacket or pants slipcovers throw pillows. Very soft after laundering. Cons: Very bad woven flaw across the entire width. The worst part (and the reason for 2 stars) is how far off-grain this fabric is woven. Impossible to even line up two selvedges. One selvedge is clearly not on the straight and veers off wildly in its own direction. I will use it to test eco printed samples but would never buy this for a garment. Fabric just not woven well. Very disappointed because I really do like the natural color and the feel of the fabric.

I bought this thinking that it was a good value for learning how to make slipcovers. Yuck. Not only was the fabric flawed with streaks of yellow (Dharma gave me 9 yards credit on the pieces that were unusable) but it was very off grain which required a struggle and two people to straighten. I did get three slipcovers and three ottomans covered so I used up the entire bolt and learned the technique but a better fabric would have been easier.Last week I saw an ad for a sale from Fabric.com and bought a bolt of Premier Print 100% cotton duck in a very pretty coral and a good weight for slipcovers. After washing and hanging outside (the one downside with this fabric is that it shouldn't be machine dried) I ended up with virtually no warping and no flaws. And they sent the precise yardage I requested.The sale is over (I saved $4 a yard) so keep a lookout since I paid $7 a yard PLUS FREE SHIPPING. Premier Prints has many many colors (some solids) and attractive prints. Check it out.

I bought this fabric to make some seat covers. It dyed beautifully and is the perfect weight.
