FAQs
What does 'raw denim' mean?
Raw denim refers to denim fabric that has not been pre-washed or treated after dyeing. It is sold in its purest form, designed to be worn and broken in by the user, developing unique fades and characteristics over time.
How often should I wash my raw denim jeans?
It's generally recommended to wash raw denim as infrequently as possible to preserve the indigo dye and allow for natural fading. Many enthusiasts wait months or even up to a year before the first wash, only washing when absolutely necessary.
Will these jeans shrink?
Yes, raw denim can shrink, particularly during the first wash. The amount of shrinkage depends on the washing temperature and method. Wear them after washing to help them re-mold to your body.
What is 'selvedge denim'?
Selvedge denim is produced on older shuttle looms, which create a clean, finished edge (the 'selvedge') along the fabric's width. This usually results in a higher quality, more durable denim, and is often indicated by a red or white thread along the edge, visible when the cuffs are rolled.
How do I create fades on my raw denim?
Fades develop naturally through wear. Areas of high friction, like pockets, knees, and the back of the thighs, will wear down the indigo dye faster, creating lighter patterns. Consistent wear is key to developing personalized fades.
What is the Stone Island Denim Research badge?
The Stone Island Denim Research badge is a mark of authenticity and a symbol of the brand's ongoing exploration and innovation in denim treatments and constructions.
Troubleshooting
Jeans feel stiff and uncomfortable.
This is typical for raw denim. Wear the jeans regularly for an extended period to break them in. Gentle flexing and movement will help soften the fabric over time.
Color transfer onto other items.
This is a natural characteristic of raw denim. Limit contact with light-colored surfaces and clothing until the jeans have been washed. Wash them separately for the first few washes.
Uneven fading or wear patterns.
This is an intended feature of raw denim, creating a unique, personalized look. The fading will naturally occur based on your movement and how you wear the jeans.
Jeans feel slightly smaller after washing.
Some shrinkage is normal with raw denim. Wear them while they are slightly damp to help them regain their shape and mold to your body.

Care:
To maintain the integrity and unique characteristics of the raw denim:
- Washing: It is recommended to wash these jeans as infrequently as possible. When washing is necessary, turn them inside out and wash in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach.
- Drying: Hang dry the jeans. Avoid using a machine dryer, as high heat can alter the denim's shape and texture.
- Color Transfer: Be aware that the indigo dye may transfer to lighter-colored clothing, upholstery, or surfaces, especially when new and damp. It is advisable to wear them with darker items initially and avoid prolonged contact with light surfaces until they have been washed.
- Shrinkage: Raw denim may shrink slightly after the first wash. This is normal and contributes to the molding process to your body.
