Special Notes
• Wash inside out to preserve color
• Wash infrequently to maintain fit
Additional Care Tips
- • Wash inside out in cold water (30°C/85°F) on normal cycle — hot water accelerates indigo fading
- • Wash infrequently to preserve color and develop natural wear patterns — spot clean when possible
- • Hang dry preferred or tumble dry on low heat; high heat causes shrinkage in raw denim
- • Avoid bleach and fabric softener — bleach strips indigo unevenly, softener weakens the twill weave
- • For raw/selvedge denim, soak in cold water with a splash of white vinegar to set dye before first wash
- • Store folded or hung by waistband; denim is heavy and belt loops can stretch on regular hangers
