What do you consider "raw" denim to mean?
-
Ditto…
Never owned a pair, and likely never will.....Closest I've gotten is my Oni "Secret denim" (unsanforized)...
Shockingly enough, "the guy who throws all clothes in the washer and dryer all willy nilly" is extremely apprehensive about washing these jeans using ANY methods. They will likely stay truly raw (And eventually, ripe) forever.

I'm in the camp of people who dislike the unpredictable nature of loomstate.
How do you feel about the terminology? Raw=loomstate?

you use a lot of words neph, what you mean about 21oz denim?
It was a pre bedtime post, and I have a rule, “Why use one word when you can use 259?”
It’s edited for clarity now but my point was that great denim doesn’t have to be raw to be excellent, unique etc and the 21oz is a good example of that. It was tonnes of character despite it’s smooth even face, heavy sanforisation and fade retardant treatment. Hell, the SB denim isn’t even selvedge and doesn’t fade and is still more interesting than some Cone Mills denim I’ve owned.
I agree 100%.

I have a thing for slubby, irregular denim….. Sorry! lol
U find loomstate to be less slubby and irregular? Don’t be sorry.
