FAQs
What does 'raw denim' mean?
Raw denim refers to denim that has not been washed, pre-shrunk, or treated after its initial production. It is in its purest form, designed to develop unique wear patterns and fade over time.
How often should I wash my raw denim jeans?
It is generally recommended to wash raw denim as infrequently as possible to allow for the most authentic fading and to preserve the fabric. Many enthusiasts wait several months or even a year before the first wash. Spot cleaning for minor issues is often preferred.
Will these jeans shrink?
Yes, raw denim can shrink, especially when exposed to heat and water. It is best to wash in cold water and air dry to minimize shrinkage. The garment is designed to mold to your body, so some initial shrinkage may be expected and can even help achieve a better fit.
How do I care for the Stone Island Denim Research badge?
The badge is typically attached with threads that can be carefully removed if desired, or it can be left on. Care should be taken during washing to avoid snagging or damaging the badge. Hand washing gently around the badge area is recommended.
What is the purpose of the star embroidery?
The small star embroidery is a subtle design detail from Stone Island that adds a unique aesthetic element to the jeans, distinguishing them as part of the brand's collection.
Can I wear these jeans in wet conditions?
While you can wear them in wet conditions, be aware that the indigo dye may bleed more readily when wet, potentially staining other items. Allow them to air dry completely afterward.
Troubleshooting
Denim feels stiff and uncomfortable.
This is normal for raw denim. Continue wearing the jeans regularly. The denim will soften and conform to your body with use and the first wash.
Color transfer to other clothing or furniture.
Raw denim may transfer indigo dye, especially when new and dry. Wash separately for the first few washes until the excess dye is removed. Avoid sitting on light-colored surfaces without caution.
Uneven fading after washing.
This can be a desired effect of raw denim. If you prefer more uniform fading, ensure a gentle wash cycle and consistent agitation. Always wash inside out.
Shrinkage after washing.
Avoid machine drying on high heat. Always air dry jeans. If shrinkage is a concern, consider washing in cold water and handling with care.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As these are raw denim jeans, they require specific care to preserve their integrity and encourage unique fading.
Initial Wear: Wear the jeans as much as possible before the first wash. This allows them to mold to your body shape.
First Wash: It is recommended to wash these jeans separately for the first few times, or at least until no color transfer occurs. Hand washing or a gentle machine cycle with cold water is advised. Avoid harsh detergents.
Drying: Air dry the jeans. Avoid using a machine dryer, as high heat can shrink the denim and damage the fibers. Hang them to dry away from direct sunlight to prevent uneven fading.
Maintenance: For minimal fading and to maintain a darker shade, wash infrequently. Spot cleaning for minor stains is preferable. When washing, turn the jeans inside out to protect the outer surface.
Compatibility: These jeans are designed for adult men and pair well with a variety of casual and smart-casual tops, including t-shirts, sweaters, and button-down shirts.
