The specification requires clean, washed sands; dirty sands can contain excessive impurities such as clay, silt, loam or fines (particles that pass through a 0.063mm sieve). Just like lemons ( Citrus x limon) and oranges( Citrus sinensis), all lime tree species belong to the Citrus genus in the rue family, Rutaceae. The Persian lime most likely originates from today’s Iran and Iraq and has been cultivated for centuries in many subtropical and tropical regions around the world. The savings on effort and equipment make ready mixed lime mortar an attractive proposition for anything other than large works, especially given its long shelf-life.

The Super T stitch, with its five-needle thread and two-stitch-per inch process, was born. Believing rules were made to be broken, the pioneers built on denim's romantic tradition while inventing daring new treatments, washes and fits. A fighting spirit and rebellious attitude have remained at the heart of the brand's ethos ever since.

The easiest way to distinguish between these two citrus fruits is by their colour. In contrast to lemons, ripe lime fruits are green. Depending on the variety and growing conditions, limes can also have a yellow tinge, but they only ever turn completely yellow once overripe. In terms of shape, lemons are usually oval and have a protruding “nose”, whereas limes are round.
