Understanding Shrinkage Second, beautiful fades are not the inevitable result when we hold off on washing our jeans for months and months. What is the inevitable result of this practice is jeans that break down prematurely. The downside to breaking in raw denim jeans is it isn’t the most comfortable process.

Some even recommend washing them right side out inside an old pillow case. Some denim enthusiasts believe that raw denim jeans should never or rarely be washed, according to Murphy. However, she says excess dirt and bacteria buildup can cause the unwashed fabric to break down and tear if not treated properly. “To keep the color for longer, wash cold on gentle cycle [with] non-bleach detergent, inside out, and line dry.
