Dry Denim & Jeans

11

Dry, or raw, denim refers to denim that remains untouched by water, thus lacking a wash – earning the name "dry." Dry denim has a crisp rigidity attributed to the starch applied to warp yarns before weaving. While some may find it less comfortable than washed denim, it's this very starch that enables dry denim to crease, giving rise to distinctive wear marks like "whiskers" and "honeycombs."

What are dry jeans?

Dry Jeans, or Dry Denim Jeans, are jeans that have not undergone garment washing. Because they haven’t been exposed to water, we refer to them as "dry jeans." They can also be called raw denim jeans. The fact is, all jeans—whether they’re a bright baby blue or a deep, dark hue—started out as dry denim. What sets dry denim jeans apart, whether conventional or selvage, is their crisp texture and the untouched dyed yarns. This allows the jeans to age through wear, creating a uniquely worn-in look that reflects the lifestyle of the wearer. The truly unique aspect of dry denim jeans is their ability to age gracefully, becoming more beautiful the more they are worn.
