FAQs
What makes Japanese selvedge denim special?
Japanese selvedge denim is renowned for its high quality, often produced on older shuttle looms, resulting in a denser, more durable fabric with a characteristic woven edge (the 'selvedge'). It ages beautifully, developing unique fades and patterns over time.
How should I choose my size?
Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer. Measure your waist and inseam and compare with the garment's specifications. Given the slimmer leg, consider how you prefer your jeans to fit.
Can I machine wash these jeans?
It is strongly recommended to hand wash or machine wash on a delicate cycle with cold water. Avoid high heat in the dryer; always air dry to maintain the denim's quality and fit.
How long will it take for the jeans to break in?
The break-in period can vary, but typically with regular wear over a few weeks, the denim will become softer and conform to your body shape.
Are these jeans suitable for formal occasions?
While versatile, these jeans are best suited for smart-casual or casual occasions due to their denim material. They can be dressed up with a blazer or smart shirt but are generally not appropriate for formal events.
What is the significance of the '5001' model number?
The '5001' designation typically refers to a specific model or fit within the Gallery Dept collection, often indicating a particular cut and style, in this case, a refined straight-cut with a slimmer leg.
Troubleshooting
Jeans feel stiff initially.
This is normal for raw or selvedge denim. Wear them regularly for a few days or consider a cold soak (without detergent) to help soften the fabric.
Color bleeding during first few washes.
Selvedge denim may release excess dye. Wash them separately in cold water for the first few washes to prevent color transfer to other garments.
Shrinkage after washing.
Avoid machine drying. Always hang dry jeans, especially after washing, to minimize shrinkage. If minor shrinkage occurred, wearing them while slightly damp can help them regain their original shape.
Inconsistent fit after washing.
Ensure consistent care by always washing in cold water and air drying. Avoid harsh detergents or excessive agitation.

Care Instructions:
- Washing: It is recommended to wash these jeans sparingly to preserve the denim's integrity and color. When washing is necessary, turn them inside out and use cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach.
- Drying: Hang dry the jeans whenever possible. Avoid using a machine dryer, as high heat can cause shrinkage and damage the denim fibers.
- Soaking (Optional for Selvedge): Some owners prefer to soak selvedge denim before the first wear to set the fit. If you choose to do this, use cold water and avoid agitation.
- Maintenance: Regular wear will naturally break in the denim. For minor stains, spot cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended.
