Raw, or rinsed once.
Raw is unwashed and fades to the way you wear it. Once-rinsed has been washed a single time, so it starts softer.
How a pair gets made.
Woven narrow
The cloth comes off narrow shuttle looms, so both edges close themselves with a clean selvedge and an ochre line.
Cut as one leg
One straight leg, cut with the selvedge on the outseam, where it shows when you roll the cuff.
Sewn in ochre
Cotton thread at about nine stitches to the inch, in twin rows where the seams work hardest.
Riveted
Copper rivets at the pocket corners.
Hemmed to you
A chain-stitched hem, and every pair comes with free hemming.
Before you order.
What does raw mean?
The cloth has not been washed. It is stiffer and darker at first, and it fades where you bend, sit and carry things, so the pair ends up yours.
Raw or once-rinsed?
Raw if you want the fades to be all your own. Once-rinsed if you would rather start a little softer.
Which sizes?
Waist 28 to 38, in one straight-leg fit.
Do you hem them?
Yes. Every pair comes with free hemming, with a chain-stitched hem.
