Raw denim is denim fabric that has not been pre-washed, pre-shrunk, or treated after dyeing. It keeps the original indigo color and stiffness, allowing the jeans to naturally mold to your body and develop unique fades and wear patterns over time.

How many times can I wear my raw denim jeans before washing them?

There is no fixed rule, but with raw denim it is best to wear your jeans as long as possible before the first wash, typically 6–12 months of regular use. Wearing them often without washing allows natural creases and high-contrast fades to develop. Washing too early removes indigo more evenly and can result in a flatter, less distinctive look.

How should I wear and care for raw denim?

To care for raw denim, wear your jeans frequently and wash them sparingly. Aim to wash them only after 6–12 months of regular wear so that natural creases and fades can form. When you do wash them, hand wash or use a cold, gentle machine cycle with a mild, natural detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Air dry your jeans flat or on a hanger and keep them out of direct sunlight to reduce color fading. Over time, the denim will mold to your body, giving a customized fit and unique character.

Can I put my raw denim jeans in the dryer?

We recommend air drying your raw denim jeans to preserve the fabric, color, and fit. If you choose to use a dryer, turn the jeans inside out and select the most delicate, low-heat cycle to minimize shrinkage and damage, especially if your jeans have a leather patch. Remove them while still slightly damp and let them finish drying in the air.
