The Experiment

Over the past year and a half I have been completely falling in love with denim.  The kind that is made on shuttle looms and constructed by hand.  The whole idea is that you wear them for a really really long time without washing them and they mold to your body and you get some pretty sweet custom fades that are only unique to you.  They are rigid.  They are stiff.  And most of all...they are raw.  These jeans have never seen water or soap.  It's a blank canvas just waiting to be turned into a beautiful pair of customized jeans that only time and life can create.

One of the sources of my knowledge that Iv'e gathered since my love began has been rawrdenim.com where they break down everything you could ever want to know about raw denim.  Spend some time checking out their site and familiarize yourself with an age old trade that is truly an amazing art.

Over the next year you will be getting weekly updates with detailed photos and descriptions of how much these jeans stretch, fade, and smell.  :)   I will also be including guest posts of friends in their own raw denim and all of the goofy things that we get into.  Here are the specks and some beginning photos to kick off the journey.  Enjoy!
