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 be broken in by the wearer.

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

The break-in period varies greatly depending on wear frequency and activity level. Some find them comfortable after a few weeks of consistent wear, while others prefer to wear them for several months before they feel fully softened.

Should I wash my raw denim jeans?

It is generally recommended to wash raw denim as little as possible to maintain the original indigo dye and allow for natural fading. When washing, use cold water and a gentle cycle, or hand wash.

Why is the denim transferring color?

This is a characteristic of indigo-dyed raw denim. Excess dye will rub off onto other surfaces, especially when new or wet. This will lessen over time with wear and washing.

How do I care for the Stone Island Badge?

The Stone Island badge is typically made of fabric or a similar material. Treat it gently during washing and avoid harsh scrubbing to maintain its integrity and appearance.

Will these jeans shrink?

Raw denim can shrink when exposed to water, especially hot water. These jeans are designed with a regular fit that accounts for potential shrinkage, but avoid high temperatures during washing and drying.

What is 'selvedge denim'?

Selvedge denim is woven on specific types of looms that create a clean, finished edge (the 'self-edge') that prevents fraying. It's often associated with higher quality denim and is identifiable by a color-coded stripe along the inseam.

Troubleshooting

Stiffness and discomfort during the break-in period

Wear the jeans for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Bending and flexing the knees and waist while wearing can help soften the denim.

Excessive indigo transfer to skin or other clothing

This is normal for raw denim. Wear with dark socks and undergarments. Wash the jeans separately the first few times. Transfer will decrease as the denim is worn and eventually washed.

Uneven fading after initial wear

Uneven fading is a natural part of the raw denim evolution process and contributes to the unique character of the jeans. Consistent wear patterns will eventually create a more uniform, personalized fade.

Jeans feel too tight after washing

This may be due to shrinkage. Try wearing them while slightly damp to stretch them back to shape. Avoid hot water washes in the future.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional durability from high-quality Japanese selvedge denim.
  • Unique personal character development through raw denim fading.
  • Timeless regular fit for versatile styling.
  • Authentic indigo dye that ages beautifully.
  • Premium construction with signature Stone Island details.

Cons

  • Requires a significant break-in period for comfort.
  • Potential for indigo dye transfer to lighter-colored items.
  • Fading and color loss is a natural process, not a defect.
  • May require specific care to maintain denim integrity.
  • Initial stiffness until the denim softens.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As these are raw denim jeans, there is no 'setup' in the traditional sense. They are ready to wear directly out of the package. Compatibility is high with most casual and semi-casual adult male attire.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: It is recommended to wash these jeans as infrequently as possible to preserve the raw denim character and indigo dye. When washing is necessary, turn the jeans inside out and hand wash in cold water with a minimal amount of mild detergent. Alternatively, a very gentle machine wash on a cold cycle with minimal agitation can be used.
  • Drying: Do not tumble dry. Hang the jeans to air dry away from direct sunlight to prevent excessive fading or damage. Ensure they are fully dry before wearing.
  • Color Transfer: Be aware that the indigo dye may transfer to other surfaces, including skin, upholstery, and lighter-colored clothing, especially when new and damp. This is a natural characteristic of raw denim.
  • Shrinkage: Raw denim may shrink slightly after the first wash. The regular fit is designed to accommodate this, but avoid hot water which can increase shrinkage.
