Plain weave and twill wear differently because the yarns pass over and under on different schedules. Plain weave crosses nearly every thread at every step, while twill lets a yarn float over several threads before it ducks under, and those floats line up as a diagonal. The opening covers plain weave locks each crossing, twill floats yarns on a diagonal, and denim wears along those floats.
