This Video Shows You How to Properly Care for Your Raw Denim Jeans.
If you are one of the many who prefers raw denim jeans, there are many important things to know to keep them in their prime. This video demonstrates how to care for jeans, reduce wear and tear, and explains raw denim for those unfamiliar with it.
A YouTube video from MR PORTER shows denim aficionado Michael Williams on the basics of good denim care. The main difference between a pair of raw denim jeans and other jeans is that they were not washed after the dyeing process during production. This makes the color of the raw denim richer and darker, and also allows the denim to better match your body shape over time. Because of this difference, you should not throw raw denim into the washing machine. There are various methods of keeping them clean, including tossing them in the freezer , but Williams suggests spot treatments and antibacterial sprays for at least the first six months of wearing. Then turn them inside out and hand wash quickly in cool water with a little washing-up liquid. Your raw denim jeans are now ready to wear for another six months.
