Wash Your Raw Denim
Some people will tell you it’s a sin to ever even think about washing your raw denim jeans, and some people say you should wait at least six months before washing them.
The reason people suggest to hold off on washing your jeans is because they are trying to achieve high contrast fading. High contrast fading is cool and all, but having your favourite pair of jeans lasts a really long time is even better – and guess what? They are still going to fade.
We recommend washing your denim once every two to three months. You can wash them sooner if they stink. There is no need to smell like a hobo in the name of “sick fades”. More importantly we recommend you to soak your raw denim jeans before you start wearing them.
