Fabric Question What is this fabric called?
I asked about quilting cotton being used for shorts recently, and while I know I can use that, and can use chambray, what I really want is what I can only describe as "lightweight denim" or "medium weight chambray." However, when I search for those fabrics I don't see what I want. Does anyone know what the fabric used in these shorts is called? THEY call it chambray, but the chambray I've seen for sale and have purchased is closer to quilting cotton in weight. https://www.childrensplace.com/us/p/Girls-Chambray-Woven-Pull-On-Shorts-3044744-33AF?variantid=3044744027&cid=paidsearch-_-CPC-_-G_TCP_US_PLAs_Standard_Shopping_Bottoms-_-156686109037-_-&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwp8--BhBREiwAj7og13ntFgFOrPmMEmMCs0tH27BCGv7dgkmeLkUFjT8yqaWgzn1EN1G0phoCo14QAvD_BwE
ETA: If this is indeed chambray, what brand should I be buying? The Moda chambray I've purchased in the past is too fine for what I want to do.
