That was what caused this thread to be started. I have written to Nick at Heddels and told him that the article is bullshit…
I kinda figured that was the cause. And yes, it’s bullshit

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.

these are one washed yet you call them raw?

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

In the bloody title! 19oz raw denim.

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

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.

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!

I way late chiming I’m on this discussion but chime in I will.
From everything I’ve read, studied and even the „Denim Course „ I attended. RAW means Loom State. I’m disturbed with chemical and or water influence. That’s the end. I don’t consider one superior to another. It becomes a preference for most and for some a matter of pride.
I personally prefer Sanfordized or one-washed jeans although inhaftiert some raw jeans before. I don’t like to try to make it a who’s right, who’s wrong thing. Everyone should just enjoy his jeans and do as they please. Nonetheless, raw means raw. :).
