'Dry Blue' refers to the specific shade of indigo used, offering a cool-toned classic look. Selvedge indicates the fabric's construction, where the edges are finished to prevent fraying, often featuring a contrasting thread (like red or white) along the inner seam.
Wear the jacket as often as possible. Natural movement and body heat will help the denim soften and mold to your shape. Avoid frequent washing, as this can hinder the natural break-in and fading process.
Rigid denim has minimal pre-washing, so some shrinkage may occur upon the first wash, particularly if machine washed and dried. It's recommended to wash in cold water and air dry to control shrinkage.
In denim, twill weave has diagonal lines. 'Left-hand twill' means the diagonal lines run from the bottom left to the top right. This construction tends to soften faster and can produce a different fading pattern compared to standard right-hand twill.
The care instructions for rigid denim apply. Gentle washing and air drying will help preserve the fabric's integrity and the environmental benefits of the recycled and organic cotton components.
While the denim offers some initial resistance, it is not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to rain may saturate the fabric. It's best to use this jacket as a windbreaker or for light precipitation.
This is typical for rigid denim. Wear the jacket frequently in a relaxed manner, and it will gradually soften and conform to your body shape. Washing sparingly can help accelerate this process.
Some natural variations in fading are expected. To minimize this, always wash inside out on a cold, gentle cycle and air dry away from direct sun.
Ensure the buttonhole is properly aligned with the button. New denim can be stiff; gentle, repeated use will ease the buttoning process.
