What kind of fabric is the 'raw denim' that often appears in descriptions?
The word 'raw' is attached to every denim product description, but it is difficult to know how it differs from regular denim. Before buying, one wants to gauge what kind of clothing they are purchasing.
Raw denim is a fabric that has not undergone washing processes after being woven and dyed, and AMOMENTO uses Japanese raw denim for its straight-fit denim.
Raw refers to a state in which no post-processing has been done after the fabric is fully woven. Most jeans on the market undergo washing such as water washing or enzyme treatment after completion to fade the color and soften them, but raw denim is a fabric that skips that step.
AMOMENTO's men's straight-fit denim is made from this raw fabric[1]. Both women's and men's versions of the Colored Straight Fit Denim, Blue use Japanese raw fabric, and the brand also states that this fabric has high durability[2][3].
When you first hold raw denim in your hands, it is stiff and dark in color. The characteristic of this fabric is that as the color fades along the places where it is worn, sat in, and folded, that person's wrinkles remain as they are. On the other hand, because color can transfer to light-colored clothes, bags, or light sofas in the early stages, it is better to be careful the first few times, and turning it inside out and washing it alone is the general method.
hmmm, it is close to a fabric chosen by treating the fact that color changes not as a flaw, but as a starting point.
The weight of this raw fabric, its weaving method, and which regional factory it was woven in have not yet been confirmed.
