FAQs
What does 'raw denim' mean?
Raw denim refers to denim fabric that has not been washed or treated after its production. It's in its most unadulterated state, designed to be worn and faded by the wearer.
How often should I wash my raw denim jeans?
There's no strict rule, but many raw denim enthusiasts recommend waiting several months or until significant wear patterns have developed before the first wash. This allows for the most distinctive fading.
Will the jeans shrink after washing?
Yes, raw denim can shrink when washed, especially in hot water. Washing in cold water and air drying is recommended to minimize shrinkage and preserve the fit.
What is 'selvedge denim'?
Selvedge denim is produced on narrow shuttle looms, creating a self-finished edge (selvage) that prevents fraying. It's often associated with higher quality denim production.
How do I care for the Stone Island Denim Research badge?
The badge is typically made of durable materials. Avoid harsh detergents or high heat when washing and drying to preserve its condition.
What is the intended fit of these jeans?
These are five-pocket jeans designed to mold to the body's movements. They offer a fit that becomes personalized through wear.
Troubleshooting
Jeans feel stiff and uncomfortable.
This is normal for raw denim. Wear them regularly for an extended period to break them in. They will soften significantly over time.
Uneven fading after first wash.
Fading is a natural characteristic of raw denim and is unique to each wearer. Minor variations are expected and part of the appeal.
Color transfer onto other clothing or furniture.
Raw indigo denim can transfer dye, especially when new and damp. Wash them separately initially, and be mindful of contact with lighter surfaces until several washes have occurred.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These jeans come ready to wear. As they are raw denim, they have not undergone any rinsing or finishing treatments. To maintain the integrity and unique fading qualities of the raw denim:
- Initial Wear: Wear the jeans as much as possible before the first wash to establish your personal wear patterns.
- Washing: When washing is necessary, turn the jeans inside out and wash them in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals.
- Drying: It is recommended to air dry the jeans to prevent shrinkage and preserve the denim's texture. Avoid using a machine dryer.
- Maintenance: Spot clean minor stains if possible to delay a full wash. Over time, the indigo dye will naturally release and fade with wear and washing.
