            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.

                    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.

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

                                  ha…hiding in plain sight.  I was scouring the product details and completely overlooked the title, and I own these jeans.

                                            To me raw denim means loomstate.

                                            What he said.
