care guide
Take care of your clothes and they will last longer!
Iron/wash your trousers inside out and wash with similar colors to reduce wear and tear
Dark denim fabrics (raw denim) can discolor before a number of washes have rinsed them out, be careful with light-colored furniture and other clothes as they can discolor, do not use detergents with bleach if you want to preserve the original color and maintain fabric quality.
Remember that stretch fabrics are more sensitive to heat and chemicals so follow the washing instructions to maintain the fabric's properties.
Stretch fabrics shrink/return to their "normal state" when washed, which means that when they are new and come from fabric rolls, they are stretched and will shrink/stretch back so they become "tighter", but after a period of use they stretch out and return after washing, depending on the fabric quality, this varies at first.
Drying risks shrinking and destroying the jeans prematurely as stretch fabrics cannot withstand as high temperatures, always follow the washing instructions.
Keep in mind that 100% cotton jeans take a few 100 hours to go in before the fit settles comfortably after your body, the cotton also usually shrinks 3-5% a little depending on whether it is sanforized or not, this is good to keep in mind when you are going to fold the pants (short leg length) They should be washed before folding to avoid them being too short!
REDUCE WEAR !
If you do not clean or wash jeans regularly, dirt that accumulates in creases can lead to wear on the fabric, if you do not want to wash the jeans so often, we recommend stretching the jeans and brushing out dust and dirt from creases that form during use to reduce wear!
Keep in mind that when you have things in your pockets, the fabric of the jeans wears out much faster as the abrasion becomes greater on the contact surfaces. For example, if you have something in your back pocket and sit down, it will wear out much faster. You can reduce the wear of your jeans by avoiding having things in your pockets when you sit down.
FOLDED UP LEG ENDS!
Some people like to have folds on jeans, unfortunately the "fold" usually makes the fabric wear faster there, dust and dirt accumulate, you can save on wear by cleaning and pressing out the "fold" with an iron, maybe every two or three months and in connection with washing!
MEND BROKEN JEANS!
Over time, the jeans fabric thins out and wears away so there are holes in the pants, order our repair kit which includes shipping ToR and repair / patching. If you do not want to send the pants, we recommend that you take your pants to a local tailor or similar where they work with denim repairs and repairs.
