How To Wash Your Raw Selvedge Denim [ THE BEST WAY ]

Unsure how to wash your RAW Selvedge denim I'll take you through the process I take to wash my IRON HEART IH-555XHS step by step.

It's a beautiful life when you have a four hundred dollar pair of pants that you have and can't wait to wear everyday.

super nice results, very nice that the denim in the whiskers haven not been broken, the contrast is fabulous!!!

The EXACT type of video I was looking for 🤝 I just picked up this exact pair yesterday and will be giving them their initial soak today. Can't wait to start breaking them in 💪

Great video.. I've just bought a pair of 21oz 555's.. Do you recommend doing an initial soak before first wearing?

What denim, congratulations.
I wanted to ask you about something I didn't understand in the video: does the water used in the basin have to be hot or boiling? Also, how long do you keep them in the basin?
Thanks

Best video I've seen yet on washing selvedge 💪🏾

Would you recommend for a thrifted pair of raw denim jeans, to just throw in the washing machine cold water & little detergent & as you said skip the spin cycle and then go to the extra rinse to get rid of any excess ???

I own a pair of 777 14 Oz at 280 days of wear. They are pretty heavy denim at 14Oz. Compared to my other pants A.P.C., Nudie, Shockoe etc, they seem to wear at some creases, like I see in your jeans. And these are pretty light denim compared to 25 Oz. I was always wanting to try out a super heavy pair but that makes me think about it. However, beautiful fade on yours. You use them as fasion or is this your daily workwear?

Nice video. Just wondering if the creases in the back of the knees are set enough that they stay in the same place after the wash?

Hi! Lovely pair :) A little late to the party but have been going back and forth over giving my Naked and Famous Elephant 12's (20 oz) an initial soak before wearing. They are sanforized, but not sure if they are also washed or not. Would probably do a cold/lukewarm soak to get rid of starch but not too worried about shrinkage. What are your thoughts?

[NonFlyingIceman]

Stunning work! 🔥 These are truly a work of art. You must have had so much patience too👏🏼. I have a pair of Nudie Maze Selvedge - I don’t wear them every day prob once a week, does that mean I have to wait x7 as long before wash? (they bleed a lot, ruined a white hoodie 😭)
Great advice - so 5 mins cold soak inside out and then wash on 30 degrees but what if you don’t have a setting without spin or can’t switch it off? I’m the video I saw yours going around in the drum is that not spin. Or is spin a drying cycle. Sorry for the questions, just paranoid as already spilt toothpaste on these and was painstaking to remove (due to bleaching agent etc) so being v cautious now!
Any help much appreciated

Wow. Those look incredible. The creasing on the back of the leg - does this shorten the length significantly over time?

[skullcrusher]

G'day mate great video im just getting into this raw denim fade game myself just with your prosess with washing your jeans whats the logic behind the fact you soak the jeans before putting them in the wash I get the fact you turn them inside out but soaking them before washing what dose that do would love to know or is it a personal thing thanks mate .

[Ralle]

I bought these exact jeans today. How long would you say I should wear them before the first wash? The longer the better?

[andmoreagain]

hey man good vid. ive got a pair of UHR's that I feel I need to give a hot soak because theyve stretched a good bit and my initial soak and agitation was too cold. ive been wearing about 3 months now. do you think its a bad idea to hot soak at this point (will fades be less high contrast later/will the fade and crease shifting be really bad)? should i just suck it up and wear a belt? would appreciate your thoughts on it, thanks man.

[kevinle]

Great color on your pair! I’m super jealous of how it looks!

[lukecarrol]

Brilliant video mate - jeans look amazing.

[duchamp]

Hi Mate, do you think I’d be able to get similar results with a pair of Levi’s 502 none Selvedge indigo jeans if I followed your method? Or does it have to be Selvedge?

[garethburleigh]

They look great mate. Also what laces did you pop into your Redwings?

[sluggo]

If they've stretched and I'd like to shrink them a little would you recommend putting them in the drier hot when still wet from the washing machine?
