Get to know your denim
It’s not ok to smell like piss so wash your jeans (shirt/jacket if you’re a really bad shot) before you start to
How do you want your denim to fade? If you wash it straight away the denim will fade evenly across the whole garment. If you wear 6 to 12 months before the first wash, then the denim will fade more on the natural creases that have appeared through wear. These fades will contrast against the darker parts of the denim. After this you can wash the garment more frequently and this contrast will always remain.
Rotation of several garments gives you time for this wash/dry routine, plus a range of options from best ‘going-out’ to older ‘going down-the-mine’.
Turn-ups on jeans allow fine adjustment of leg length or can be turned down if you don’t want them.
Our denim is sanforized so first wash shrinkage is minimal. For jeans, expect 1/2 inch in length only. Adjust the turn-up to compensate for this. If you have a pair without turn-ups, no worries, we’ve added extra length to allow for shrinkage.
Gentle spot cleaning of stains with a damp cloth is OK and saves a full wash.
Why not colourfast? It uses harmful chemical processes that go against our sustainability aims. Also looks better in the long run.
Washing Guide
All our denim is raw (not colourfast) and your approach to washing will make it look great or ruin it. From new to first wash is the most crucial time because the dye is more ‘active’.
Machine or soak wash? Both are fine.
Both are fine. Machine will wash deeper and is simpler but you must stick to the rules so you don’t fuck your jeans up. Soak is the gentlest and will fade the least, but won’t get deeper stains out.
