Stretch the seams after the wash


Before I washed my first pair of raw denims, I was chatting to Alexander from Dr.Denim and his first bit of advice to me was to stretch the seams after the wash. The reason he said was that the thread used for the seams, are different than that used in the actual denim, so it sort of pulls together after the wash. The shrinking also doesn't help with the seams. What you got to do after the wash is to grab the crotch and the hem, and pull, as you can see in the picture above. Give it a good stretch, and it should help with getting the seams back to "normal".

  1. I prefer stretchable jeans because these are more comfortable to wear, and won't harm your skin.

  3. I like both styles cause I think there's a place for both styles.

    HipHop style and snow doesn't work so well for me. They are too loose and get too wet, which means too heavy. In Autumn or Spring they're great. Tight jeans as in the Dr.Denim Unisex Snaps are fantastic in winter.

    Tight jeans are not great at home when you're trying to relax. Too tight, uncomfortable. Also they look out of place at a HipHop concert ;)

    Thanks for the comments.

  4. Designer Jeans has become the most important keyword for people who prefer fashion.
    When people are looking at your jeans, you got to offer them something to look at. You need to make people say, "Oh wow, look at that jean. "

  7. I've only tested it for 180 days. Don't really have the patience to wear them every day for longer than 6 months. How many days have you been wearing your raw denim?
