Jeans textile (5)

I believe the answer is:

denim

(Other definitions for denim that I've seen before include "Cotton twill fabric" , "Coarse durable twill-weave cotton fabric" , "Cloth for jeans, etc" , "Hard-wearing clothing material, twilled cotton" , "Hard-wearing cotton fabric" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
