I know that this has caused a lot of trouble to the newbies of (g star) raw jeans. Today, eWingFly online store which offers free shipping washed jeans & raw unwashed denim jeans will explain the difference and relationship between them in detail.
What are Washed denim jeans?
Washed jeans refer to jeans that have been prewashed denim (anti-shrinkage processing) before being sold, that is, they have been washed once by an industrial washing machine. It’s still raw denim and still stiff.
Do Washed denim jeans fade?
Prewashed denim jeans are still raw jeans, so they will also fade, and it will not affect cattle breeding. In fact, each raw jean will have its own unique fading method, because different types of denim will have different fading effects. In addition, the fading effect is also related to the wearer’s wearing times and habits.
Washed jeans or Unwash?
In fact, whether it is Washed jeans or Unwash, it has no effect on “cattle raising”, but it is related to the size issue.
Unwash/Non-wash refers to the fact that the jeans have not been washed and polished, which is what everyone calls raw denim (original denim), which is harder than Washed. Since it is difficult to predict the shrinkage rate of untreated jeans, the size may be very different from your expectations after the first soak. If you’ve ever experienced the pain of raw jeans becoming too small after washing, or too large after washing, and completely ill-fitting, ewingfly Washed jeans 10% off ,free shipping can solve your problems.
The purpose of prewashing is to remove most of the fabric shrinkage. Because each brand of denim has a different shrinkage rate, it makes it difficult for customers to have a standard for size selection when purchasing raw denim jeans. As for the pre-washed jeans, customers only need to buy them in their normal size when purchasing, and there is no need to worry that the jeans will shrink after being soaked in water.
In order to make it easier for customers who are inexperienced in “raising cattle” to find the correct size, Japanese raw jeans brands are mostly Washed, or both stone washed selvedge denim and Unwash versions. If you are adventurous and want to fully control a raw designer jeans and feel the process from shrinking to fit, you can also choose the Unwash version, which will bring you a more extreme “cattle raising” experience.

Sanforized denim jeans
It should be noted that for jeans that have been shrink-resistant, there is not much difference between Washed denim jeans and Unwash.
Sanforization refers to the process of water, steam, heating and pressure in the denim factory to pre-treat the denim fabric to prevent shrinkage, so as to facilitate the subsequent tailoring design. With jeans made of shrink-resistant denim, the shrinkage has been reduced from 5-10% to a maximum of 1-3%, and the shrinkage is already minimal. With or without pre-washing, the shrinkage of the jeans has little effect.
That is to say, whether the Sanforized denim jeans are the Washed jeans or the Unwased version, the shrinkage rate after washing will not be much different. Looking at the “Washed” and “Unwash” size chart, the difference is about 0.5″. This difference is small, even if it shrinks slightly after washing, when you wear it again, it will stretch back to its original size.
So if you see the Sanforization mark, you can ignore the shrinkage, and you don’t have to care too much about Washed denim jeans or Unwash.
Raw jeans that have been pre-washed with One-Wash or anti-shrinkage Sanforization do not need to be washed again in order to shrink jeans. It may shrink slightly when you wash it, but it will stretch to the size you bought it when you wear it again.
Unsanforized denim jeans
Jeans are made from Unsanforized (non-shrink treated) denim. If you buy the Unwash version, the jeans will shrink a lot after the first wash, and the shrinkage rate may be as high as 5%-10%. Before buying Unwash jeans without a shrink treatment, a lot of research is needed because the shrinkage rate of each brand of denim varies, and some denims require 3-4 hot soak washes to complete the shrinkage treatment. If you find that the size does not fit after washing, it is basically impossible to return it.But actually most of denim jeans are made of sanforized denim fabric,so not too much worry about the size.

UNWASH VS. ONE-WASH Unshrinkable Denim
Unwash Unsanforized
Raw denim, not shrink-resistant. The first wash or soak will shrink by about one to two dimensions, or about 5% width and 9% length.
One-Wash Unsanforized
Pre-washed raw denim, without anti-shrinkage treatment. Already washed once, no need to worry about shrinkage, buy in normal size.
When buying Unwash Unsanforized denim jeans:
In order to ensure normal wear and no displacement due to shrinkage after the fading is formed, raw denim that have not been shrink-resistant and pre-washed should be soaked (to reduce shrinkage) before the first wear. Therefore, when buying these types of jeans, it is best to size up to ensure a shrunk fit.
What should I do if my Unwash denim jeans are not the right size?
- Cold/hot water soak: The hotter the water, the greater the shrinkage; the longer the initial soaking time, the greater the shrinkage.
If you don’t want your jeans to shrink too much, do a 20-minute cold water soak. For maximum shrinkage, soak in hot water for 1 hour; and keep stirring the jeans to get the hot water deep into the cotton fibers. If the desired size has not been reached, the process can be repeated one more time.
Note: If your waist is more than one size or Mrs., you may need to consider returning.
- Partial immersion: Soak only the part you want to shrink with cold/hot water. For example, the waist is suitable, but the legs are too loose, so only the legs are soaked.
- The classic “Shrink to Fit”: Pour hot water into the tub and sit in it with your jeans on, after about 30 minutes, stand up and drip dry, keep it that way until the jeans are completely dry. It sounds crazy, even inhumane, but it’s something that extreme aurora players would do.
Note: Do not squat too much or stretch too much until the jeans are completely dry, as this can accelerate the rupture of stressed areas such as the knees, hips or crotch.
- Extreme Shrinkage Treatment: Use a special detergent for dark fabrics, this will give the jeans maximum shrinkage, but may slightly change the color of the jeans.
