Q: Ok, I have my jeans. How do I really know I have the right size?

Q: Should I size up or down when purchasing raw denim?
A: It would be safe to say that you should purchase a size closer to what you would normally wear if the jeans are sanforized. If unsanforized, then I would suggest going up a size because there will be a significant amount of shrinkage.
Q: What care instructions do you recommend for your products?
A: Wash or soak in cold water ( with little agitation) with a mild detergent and hang dry. For your jeans and other wearable denim items, soak in cold water ( same as in previous statement) for about 30-45 minutes.
Q: Do I need to pre-soak the denim before wear?
A: The denim that we use is sanford (preshrunk), unless stated otherwise. It is not necessary to pre soak your jeans, however, it is your preference if you would like to or not. Pre soaking your jeans does help to reduce the bleeding of indigo dye and to lesson the rigidness of your denim.
