Raw Selvedge Denim Jeans are a garment that has not only built an entire community around it, but has also created a heavy amount of controversy. Raw denim jeans transform over time with wear and wash, and much of the community is determined to get the highest contrast fades possible, or in other terms, the highest contrast between light indigo to dark indigo on the raw selvedge denim jeans. This means that people tend to wait as long as possible to wash raw denim, and will do anything in their power to avoid having their selvedge denim touch any sort of water.


But in my opinion, selvedge denim jeans are meant to be washed, their meant to be loved and cleaned as well. I mean think about it! Back in the old days, people weren't waiting 68 months before washing their old vintage Levi's, back when all they had was raw denim. They washed them as needed, and the still got the sickest fades! So that's why today I decided to experiment, and see what would happen if I gave an early raw denim wash to see how they would fade, and if I would still get and raw denim fades after the wash as well!


Selvedge denim jeans do not come with rules. The only thing they promise you is that they're going to change and become something beautiful over time, and we should all embrace that, rather than waiting a year or a year and a half to give raw selvedge denim a wash, which inadvertently weakens the jeans anyways!
