FAQs

What does 'raw denim' mean?

Raw denim refers to denim that has not been pre-washed or treated after its initial production. This means the fabric is stiff and will develop a unique fade pattern based on how and where you wear it.

How long does it take for raw denim to break in?

The break-in period varies depending on wear frequency and intensity. It can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months of regular wear for the denim to become noticeably softer and start showing significant fades.

Should I wash my raw denim jeans?

It's generally recommended to wash raw denim as little as possible. Spot cleaning for minor stains is preferred. If a full wash is necessary, use cold water on a gentle cycle and always air dry.

Will the color bleed significantly?

Yes, indigo-dyed raw denim will bleed color, especially during the initial wears and washes. This is a natural characteristic. It is advisable to be cautious around light-colored fabrics and upholstery.

What is selvedge denim?

Selvedge denim is made on narrow shuttle looms, creating a self-finished edge (the 'selvedge') that prevents fraying. This often indicates higher quality denim and is typically more durable.

How do I care for the Stone Island Denim Research badge?

The badge is typically made of a durable material. Standard garment care as outlined (avoiding harsh chemicals and excessive heat) should be sufficient to maintain its condition.

Can I machine dry these jeans?

No, machine drying is strongly discouraged for raw denim as it can cause excessive shrinkage, damage the fabric, and lead to uneven fading. Always air dry.

Troubleshooting

Jeans feel too stiff or uncomfortable.

This is normal for raw denim. Wear them regularly for extended periods, allowing them to break in and soften. Bend your knees and flex the fabric to accelerate the process.

Uneven fading during the break-in period.

This is part of the unique evolution of raw denim. Fading will naturally even out over time with consistent wear. Avoid washing too frequently during the initial wear stages.

Color transfer onto other items.

Be mindful of wearing the jeans with light-colored clothing or sitting on light-colored surfaces until after a few washes. This is a common characteristic of indigo-dyed raw denim.

Small imperfections or variations in the denim weave.

These are often a sign of authentic selvedge denim production and contribute to the unique character of the garment. They are typically not indicative of a defect.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These jeans require no initial setup beyond trying them on and beginning the wearing process. Ensure you select the correct size for the best fit.

Compatibility:

Highly compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual attire. They are designed for adult males.

Care Instructions:

Given the raw denim, specific care is recommended to preserve the fabric's integrity and encourage proper fading:

  1. Minimize Washing: Wash as infrequently as possible. Spot clean minor stains with a damp cloth.
  2. Cold Wash (if necessary): If washing is unavoidable, turn the jeans inside out and wash them in cold water on a gentle cycle.
  3. Avoid Bleach and Fabric Softeners: These can damage the denim fibers and inhibit natural fading.
  4. Air Dry: Always air dry your jeans. Hang them to dry away from direct sunlight or heat. Do not tumble dry.
  5. Indigo Transfer: Be aware that indigo dye may transfer onto lighter surfaces (furniture, car seats, other clothing) until the jeans have been washed several times. It is advisable to wear them with darker items initially.
