The Best Way To Wash Raw Denim

Need to wash your raw denim? Yes, eventually, you should! We’re all about wearing them for 6-12 months without washing, but eventually the dirt and sweat and grime that accumulate to help bring you those lovely fades and creases will begin to break down your denim, which leads to holes. Use a small amount of Woolite dark and soak them in the tub for a half an hour. Lay flat to dry.
