After 5 Years I Finally Wash My Raw Denim Jacket! 

Loved the intro to this. Been watching a lot of your old videos and working my way towards the most recent content you’ve uploaded and I can definitely see the improvement in production value. Good shit my guy!

2 things about the collar: 1. You could use a brush to pre clean the area before washing, or to wash the dirty collar area by itself. 2. Long term you could put a lining fabric on the collar

I washed my black denim vest for the first time on a cold water setting and gentle wash, but when I tried to dry it in the dryer I pulled it out to air dry instead. It already has some white fade marks, unless that’s detergent marks.

Pro tip do not hang your denim in direct sunlight… you can hand wash that jacket very easily. A mild amount of soap and a couple of rinses. Try using hair shampoo on the collar and lightly scrub. Hair shampoo is designed to be mild yet remove oils.

Dude I thought I was bad- Thanks for making me feel slightly better about going 3+

You look like a mixture of Tyrian Lannister and Russel Crowe

I never use a drier on mine. I hang it up to dry on a hanger in the shower. While it's drying i shape it to get wrinkles out. You can even be more extra and put it on while it's wet and do some stretches. It's cold as shit but you keep the wrinkles you want and avoid those you don't. Take it off and hang up or if it's a hot day leave it on and let it dry on you.

So in conclusion, the best option to wash Denim jackets is by hand wash, as it'll do less damage when compared to a washing machine...

When did Levi's jacket become 98%cotton, 2%stretchy. I'm not complaining. I love it, it fits like a glove.

“I don’t push my sleaves up”. Next scene: shows him standing with his leaves pushed up. Also, the “roping” on the yoke is called puckering, roping is reserved for the diagonal fade pattern where only one row of chain stitching is used. Not where you have 2 parallel lines.

A little trick to restore or preserve a brittle paper patch is to use a bit of hand lotion on it. I have the same jacket and it worked great.

Intro 10/10

Personally I like the yellowing on denim. If you don't like tho it dawn dish soap works wonders!

Oh, thought you were going to show the wash process, what you used. Just a washing machine? I'm thinking I will hand wash, cold water, mild soap. I know it's going to get a little crispy which is why I've held off. Been 7 years for me and it could use a wash. That collar wax is real, haha.

Cracking video as always... made me laugh! Jacket came out a treat following wash... happy days!

Love the intro man. Very funny 😂

I'll take the pink doggy! My daughter would love it!! I'll pay shipping of course!!

I got a month solid before my denim jacket is caked in motor oil, grease, dirt and dust. 😅 5 years! My jacket would be a grease rag by then

Funny as hell! I used to have a black jean jacket but I want a blue jean jacket now. I just learned of type I and II jackets and would love to find one as I like the straighter look than the angled seams on the type III trucker jacket. I try to wash jackets twice a year, what do you recommend for jeans? I've heard some say after 10 wears; I like dark denim over faded.

Where the patch is you’re not rubbing against the fabric from the inside. Hence less fading there.

I love the intro! 🤣🤣🤣

Love the acting in this intro bro!

Great effort! Where are the before and after photos?

Please do a video on the affects of dry cleaning on denim, selvedge denim and raw denim. And it it ok to do so and a comparison to washing.

That's too long to wait for a wash.

Great video as always!!

Hello! Love the video. Did your jacket shrink after the wash? Some raw denim people I have seen say to pull and stretch out the legs of your jeans while they are still wet in order to retain the length. Is that something you would recommend? Follow up, do you think you could do the same for the sleeves of the jacket while it’s still wet?

Denim heads...Thoughts on using white vinegar to soften hard raw denim? And I don’t have a bath to soak...can I put some in the washing machine drawer? And I could try and break it in but it’s a Levis boiler suit, really tight, and almost painful to wear right now.

How often do you wash your wabash and other denim shirts? Wondering if you wash after every wear, or wait as long as you can? Especially those you wear against the skin, without an undershirt. Thanks.

Dye it with a washing machine fabric dye, it will take away the shading from the denim but will get rid of the yellow stains

A nice analytical video👍

Really enjoying your videos :) I suppose you used cold water for the washing machine?

At what temp did you wash your jacket?

The water doesn't pass through the denim where the patch is, as much as the rest of the jacket! Therefore the indigo doesn't wash away as much in that spot!

I have just bought a g star raw denim jacket does it need a first soak ?

Next video: I finally washed my socks and underwear after 25 years.

Is it better to go up one size in denim jackets so they dont feel too tight ?

Man I've been holding for only 3 months and I feel like I'm going to have to soon

How do you keep new raw denim jeans from staining boots? Thanks

Hi ! Not sure if you would see this comment. But can I have some advice and steps on how to wash raw denim jacket ? I got myself the Unbranded UB901, I plan to wash it after 6 months, but I'm unsure of the washing process, would appreciate if you or anyone here could leave a comment below.

the key question, why did you wait 5 years? dark wash jackets developing fade? i imagine selvedge jackets arent too comfortable

Just curious, Why would you wear white t-shirt with raw denim jacket? I though It would bleed indigo on the white T-shirt......

Not sure if you still need this, but next time you can run some soap on the collar and then wash it. Taught by my aunt and worked well for white shirts.

Ill gladly take that bright pink lil lad

What's the brand of this jacket? It's hard to pick up in the audio with your accent. :) Thanks!

I have never washed my D&G denim jacket. 18years 😍😂

is it ok to dry the jacket in direct sun light? thank you

After 2 weeks you finally posted another video😂

With denim shirts/jackets I never wash them unless I've got some clear honeycombs and I'm ready to accelerate the wear over the whole jacket. I've been wearing raw denim for 20 years and I've never had anything smell. I've always just assumed that people feel the need to wash the stuff because it's uncouth, rather than actually stinky.

the patch part did not age as much because of body sweat and heat

Which jean are you currently wearing in the video?

I just bought a used Bravestar 18oz slubby type 3 jacket online. Looks brand new. No fading, nothing. The problem…the guy washed it in laundry detergent before he sent it to me. The jacket stinks to high heaven from that laundry detergent perfume. I think he used too much too. The smell is so strong. I had no choice but to wash it once. The smell is still there. I looked online and people said to wash it in vinegar to get most of that smell off. (Some said to wash it in baking soda. I’m gonna have to wash it again…maybe soak it in vinegar first this time. I bought another jacket from someone else months ago. Same deal. They washed it in laundry detergent before they mailed it out. I had to wash it several times. The smell is still there. I don’t know why people like the perfumed laundry detergent smell. It’s so overwhelmingly nasty. And on top of that it’s so bad for you. Chemicals from that perfume can give you certain forms of cancer from it. Not only that, the chemicals damage your clothing. What do I use? There are laundry detergents that are hypoallergenic and are free of perfumes and dyes. Every brand has at least one line of detergent that is free of dyes and perfumes. There are natural detergents too. Look into it.

Can't believe that you just throw your jackets into the washing machine like this...

Sir please show how to wash

I have been selling jeans for 3,5 years. Don't ever wash ur jeans.... wash them only when they have stains or smell awful. there are sprays u can put upon them to make them smell nice. If you do gonna wash them, wash them on 30 degree no more!!!

wish the honeycomb on sleeve could be stronger

A Levis Employee once told me to Put the Denim in the microwave or the freezer to kill the bacteria ... and since bacteria is the cause of the smell.... well it should help anyway

Lare to this, did anyone take the dog satute?

Do you do a 1st soak with the denim jacket?

Washing Dem Jeans keep clean

Use shout stain remover or vingar

If thats truly raw won't the washer shrink it? I don't understand.

Do you soak your jackets before wearing them?

OMG I want the jackal so I can tell my partner I 'got her a dog' But live in australia

Where did you get the hat. I'm going bald and need some stylish hats.

RAW Denim wäscht man nicht in der Waschmaschine, sondern ganz vorsichtig in der Badewanne^^. Deswegen löst sich jetzt das Label und es enstehen schneller Löcher. Außerdem sieht der FADE häßlich dadurch aus, du hast dir meiner Meinung nach die ganze Jacke in der Waschmaschine versaut. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AYEPu0iJHEQ.html

Didn’t wear them enough Gota go for at least 10 years!!!!!

I think I would've hand washed it.

Denim should be washed NOT on a daily basis adviced by Levi Strauss.

Omg get to the damn point on how to wash it

Ewwwww grosss

Great intro! I use denk mit fleckentube from dm to clean up neck on my jacket. Maybe it helps
