FAQs
What does 'raw denim' mean?
Raw denim refers to denim that has not been pre-washed, rinsed, or treated after its initial production. This allows the fabric to be stiffer and to develop unique wear patterns and fades specific to the wearer over time.
How often should I wash my raw denim jeans?
It is generally recommended to wash raw denim as infrequently as possible to preserve the indigo dye and encourage natural fading. Many enthusiasts wash their raw denim only after months of wear, or when absolutely necessary.
Will these jeans shrink?
Yes, raw denim can shrink, particularly when exposed to hot water and machine drying. To minimize shrinkage, always wash in cold water and air dry.
How do I achieve the best fades?
Consistent wear is the most effective method. Fades develop naturally in areas of friction and stress. Avoid washing the jeans too often, and try to create defined creases by folding them when not in use.
What is the Stone Island Denim Research badge?
The Denim Research badge is a symbol of Stone Island's dedication to innovation and experimentation within denim. It signifies a specific line or collection focused on unique denim treatments and constructions.
Can I wear these jeans in hot weather?
While 13.5oz denim is substantial, raw denim can be worn in warmer weather. The fabric will gradually soften and become more breathable as it breaks in. However, lighter weight denim might be more comfortable in extreme heat.
What is the return policy for raw denim if I don't like the way it fades?
Return policies typically apply to the condition of the item upon receipt. As the fading is a natural process that occurs with wear, returns are usually not accepted based on the evolution of the denim's appearance over time.
Troubleshooting
Jeans feel too stiff and uncomfortable
This is typical of raw denim. Wear the jeans regularly for extended periods, allowing them to naturally soften and conform to your body shape. Avoid excessive washing during the break-in phase.
Indigo dye transferring to other clothing or surfaces
Limit contact with light-colored items initially. Wash the jeans separately or with similar dark colors. If transfer occurs, check the care labels of affected items for cleaning instructions.
Uneven fading or desired wear patterns not appearing
Consistent wear is key. Try to encourage natural creases by folding or creasing the denim in specific areas when not wearing. Avoid washing until absolutely necessary to allow fades to develop.
Shrinkage after washing
Raw denim can shrink, especially with hot water and machine drying. Always use cold water, a gentle cycle, and air dry to minimize shrinkage. If shrinkage is a concern, consider purchasing a size up.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These jeans require no initial setup beyond trying them on for fit. It is recommended to wear them with a belt to ensure a secure fit as they break in.
Compatibility:
- Color Transfer: Be aware that the indigo dye can transfer to lighter-colored clothing, upholstery, or leather. It is advisable to wear them with darker items initially and to avoid prolonged contact with sensitive surfaces.
- Footwear: These jeans pair well with a variety of footwear, from casual sneakers and boots to more refined dress shoes, depending on the desired look.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: To preserve the raw denim character and indigo dye, it is recommended to wash these jeans as infrequently as possible. When washing becomes necessary, opt for a cold, gentle cycle with minimal detergent, or consider hand washing.
- Drying: Air drying is the preferred method. Hang them to dry away from direct sunlight to prevent excessive fading. Avoid machine drying, as the heat can shrink the denim and damage the fibers.
- Stain Removal: For minor stains, spot cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Break-in Period: Wear the jeans regularly to encourage natural creasing and softening. This process is crucial for achieving the desired fit and unique fade patterns.
