Wash as infrequently as possible: Denim partially self-cleans through airing out.
Wash cold (30°C): Always put the jeans into the machine inside out.
No dryer: Always let the pants hang dry.
Patience with the first wash: Wear the jeans for as long as possible before the first wash – this will make the fading even more beautiful and individual.
