few raw denim questions

does anyone have any pictures of jeans with the first wash being after 6 months? i have had mine (naked and famous) for about 6 months now and am tempted to wash them.

how much would they shrink if i put them in hot water? they have stretched enough to fall down slowly if i don't wear a belt so want them to shrink a bit.

i like the final color in the picture i posted would that be without any products in the wash?

>> No.6425380

they won't look as good as 1-2 years without wash

>> No.6425386

>>6425375
naked and famous is sanforized, so theyll barely shrink and youll stretch them out to snug

i would use warm water since hot water is too harsh on worn denim

>> No.6425393

>>6425380
i know but its getting annoying having to pull them up constantly, even with a belt actually because i am a skeleton with no ass i want to shrink them a bit. no pics? tried a bit of googling but obviously was not searching the right things

>>6425386
excellent thanks, that sorts the shrinking issue, what would hot water do?

actually that was just a personal preference blurb (a beer at 4am). plenty of people use hot water but i dont since it gears it to a more softer feel if you consider the effects of putting jeans in the dryer.

Bleed more indigo and shrink it more. The jeans are saniforized but they will still shrink a bit

how much would you say? at the moment they fit snug with my hand, flat in the waistband of my pants, warm water recommended?

>> No.6425522

>>6425518
Just a tad, nothing too dramatic. And they'll stretch back out if they're too tight.
Warm water is probably a good idea

Thanks /fa/. I remember years ago someone told me about raw denim and my response was 'lol that's stupid I'll stick to Gap'. Wish I could apologise to that person now, wearing raws has made me realise how godawful most mainstream jeans are.

Different brands will come with different fit despite being called the same thing I.E Skinny fit on APC differs from a skinny fit on NF. Best thing to distinguish within brand is quality and price. Next is how they fade, because brands use distinguishable indigo and denim they will fade differently, which is also determined by the weight of your pants.
