HOW TO PREWASH DENIM

Avoid putting one large piece of medium-heavy weight denim in the washing machine, as it can sometimes leave white creases in the denim (as the cloth does not have room to move around in the machine drum). If you can, cut your denim fabric in half before washing. As well, prior to the first wash, we recommend submerging your denim in water first and letting it fully absorb so that you are putting wet denim in the washing machine. If white creases do develop, ironing whilst the denim is still damp will help. For best results, use a medium-hot setting with steam.

HOW TO WASH DENIM

Once your garment is sewn up, we recommend washing as little as possible. When you do wash your denim makes, turn them inside out to reduce fading. Wash at 30 degrees with non-bio detergent on a low spin, and avoid adding too many items to your machine to avoid creasing.

HOW TO DRY DENIM
Do not tumble dry, and instead let your denim air dry. Do not dry or store denim in direct sunlight as it can bleach your fabric. After the first wash, the colour will deepen slightly and the fabric will soften, making it more comfortable to wear while maintaining its robust character.
