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

[Matty123]

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.

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…
