That was what caused this thread to be started.  I have written to Nick at Heddels and told him that the article is bullshit…

Heddels is wrong more often than it is right, IMO.

Funny enough it used to be called Rawr Denim before changing its name to Heddels.

To me raw is denim that has no more than one initial soak before hitting shelves and has zero pre-distressing.  When I think of raw denim I think of a jean that looks the way it does because the wearer got them to that point not because someone sandblasted them before sending them to the retailers.

i want to throw this log on the fire…. @Giles

these are one washed yet you call them raw? 

[manufc10]

Where does he call them raw?  Are you referring to the fact that they are unsanforized?

[Matty123]

In the bloody title! 19oz raw denim.

In the Name: "Indigo New 19oz Raw Selvedge Left Hand Twill Slim Straight Cut"

I suspect that has snuck in by mistake…

My log didn’t burn like I thought it would.

@manufc10:

To me raw denim means loomstate.

What he said.

@Giles:

I think I will try and go 16 or 18.  The easiest route is to use the vintage 16 and/or 18 and not sanforise or wash) it…..

I'm in.

[steelworker]

@Giles:

I'm talking to Haraki about making a new raw (that is not washed, not sanforised, not anti skewed, not singed, not fucked around with in any way) denim….Watch this space.....

I'm waiting for this one!
