FAQs
What does 'selvedge denim' mean?
Selvedge denim is made on old-fashioned shuttle looms, creating a clean, self-finished edge (the 'selvedge') that prevents fraying. It is often considered a mark of higher quality denim.
How should I care for my unwashed jeans?
To preserve the denim and encourage unique fading, it's best to wash them infrequently. When you do wash, use cold water (30°C) and air dry. Avoid bleach and harsh detergents.
Will these jeans shrink significantly?
Yes, unwashed denim will shrink, especially after the first wash. It's important to follow the care instructions for cold washing and air drying to manage shrinkage. Some shrinkage is expected and factored into the fit.
What is the best way to achieve good fades?
Fades develop through wear. Avoid washing your jeans too often, and allow them to crease and mold to your body. Specific activities and how you wear the jeans will influence the unique fade patterns.
What is the fit of the Standard Jeans?
The Standard Jeans feature a high-rise waist with a straight and slightly loose cut. They are designed for a comfortable, classic silhouette.
What material are these jeans made from?
These jeans are made from 100% high-quality Japanese cotton denim.
Troubleshooting
Jeans feel too stiff or rigid.
This is normal for unwashed selvedge denim. Wear the jeans frequently and engage in activities that allow the fabric to bend and flex. A cold wash and air dry can help soften the denim over time.
Unexpected shrinkage after washing.
Selvedge denim, especially when unwashed, can shrink. Ensure you are washing in cold water (30°C) and air drying. If significant shrinkage is a concern, consider washing less frequently or opting for a slightly larger size if between sizes.
Difficulty with the button fly.
The button fly may be tight initially due to the stiffness of the new denim. Gently work the buttons through the buttonholes. With wear and washing, the denim will become more pliable.
Uneven fading or marks appearing.
This is a natural characteristic of raw denim and part of its appeal. The unique fading occurs due to wear patterns. Avoid washing too frequently to encourage natural fading.
