An interesting question came in the other day from the YouTube channel. “Gman3155” is just getting started on his Raw Denim journey and wanted to know:
“Hey! I’m fairly new to raw denim. This is a question that I can’t really find an answer to anywhere, but I am really curious about. What is the difference between raw denim, and dark-wash denim like you would get at Gap or American Eagle or even Levi's? It doesn’t feel like raw denim, but it doesn’t seem to have gone under distressing or fading. I hope this makes sense! Love the videos!”
So, first off. I am so happy that we’ve got another member of the fold. Raw, quality selvedge denim is just such an incredible thing to get into. You will love it. And thanks for the props. Really appreciated!
Anyway. In the vlog, I dive into the question. Making some educated guesses along the way and hopefully answering your questions.
