FAQs
What does 'raw denim' mean?
Raw denim refers to denim that has not been pre-washed, treated, or distressed. It is sold in its original, untreated state, allowing it to fade and shape itself according to the wearer's habits.
How often should I wash my raw denim jeans?
It is generally recommended to wash raw denim as little as possible to allow for the most natural and personalized fading. Many enthusiasts wait six months or longer before the first wash. When you do wash them, use cold water and a gentle cycle.
Will the color transfer from these jeans?
Yes, indigo-dyed raw denim is known to transfer color, especially when new and when the fabric is wet or under friction. It's advisable to be cautious around light-colored clothing and upholstery until the jeans have been washed a few times.
How do I care for my Stone Island raw denim jeans?
Care involves minimal washing. Turn them inside out, wash in cold water (hand wash or delicate cycle), use a mild detergent, and always air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid bleach.
What is the benefit of the 'evolving patina'?
The evolving patina refers to the unique fading and wear marks that develop on raw denim over time based on individual wear patterns. This creates a personalized aesthetic that tells the story of the wearer.
What does the 'Denim Research' badge signify?
The Stone Island 'Denim Research' badge indicates that the garment is part of their dedicated line exploring innovative denim treatments and constructions, highlighting the brand's commitment to denim craftsmanship.
Can I machine dry these jeans?
No, machine drying is not recommended for raw denim. The heat can cause excessive shrinkage, damage the fibers, and lead to an uneven finish. Always air dry.
Troubleshooting
Jeans feel stiff and uncomfortable
This is normal for raw denim. Continue wearing them regularly. The denim will soften and conform to your body shape over time with wear.
Uneven fading or 'whiskering' appears too quickly
This is a natural part of the raw denim aging process. The fading occurs in areas of high friction. If you wish to slow this, wash the jeans more frequently, though this is not typically recommended for raw denim enthusiasts.
Indigo dye is bleeding onto other clothes or furniture
This is common with indigo-dyed raw denim. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored surfaces, especially when the jeans are new or damp. Washing them (inside out, cold water) will help reduce initial dye transfer.
Jeans seem to have lost their shape after washing
Ensure you are following the recommended care instructions: wash in cold water and air dry. Avoid machine drying, as heat can cause shrinkage and distortion. Gently reshape the jeans while damp if needed.

- Drying:
