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

        Maybe so. Maybe not

              To me raw denim means loomstate.

              What he said.

              Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
              Well, I have others.

                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.  :). ✌🏾
