thegoingawayparty asked: So, my girlfriend and I broke up recently and she took to twitter to publicly bash me and my love of denim. Trust me, it got bad (and kind of hilarious). Anyway as a pre-graduation/congratulations, you're not dating a crazy person anymore gift I've decided to order a pair of skinnys with my next paycheck. Mostly it's out of spite but also the reassurance that the jeans will probably...

A word on our custom policy.
Many seem to be under the impression that we make custom, built to order jeans. We don’t. The aspect of the jeans that we do customize is the wash. And that comes with a few rules and stipulations that call for further clarification.
We are first and foremost a raw denim company. We prefer our customers take the jeans raw and break them in naturally. Why then would we offer custom washing?...

oneagainstnature asked: Just found your Tumblr and am enjoying it thoroughly.
My first foray into raw denim was a pair of APC New Cure jeans. I love the fit, but I'm not crazy about buying jeans made in Mauritius (or Mauritania, can't recall). Can you recommend a pair with a similar fit through the legs (but a higher rise if possible) that are consciously sourced?

It's Okay To Wash Your Jeans.
I’ve been told by first time visitors to Jean Shop that what’s holding them back from trying raw denim is the high maintenance of it all. The possibility of ruining a pair of jeans by using a basic washing machine is a turn-off.
Putting your jeans in the washing machine won’t cause them to dissolve into thin air (or, water?) or damage the jeans. It will halt the natural ageing...
