so it becomes a very personal shape and gets the wrinkles nicely.

1.Wear your jeans as much as possible before the first wash. You should not wash it before six months you start wearing it.
2.When you wash, use a neutral detergent with no bleach and wash it inside out in 60 degrees
  in order to get a better fading effect of the indigo and the natural worn in effects also get more evident.
3.Your everyday life gives the denim its unique character and
  the more you wear and treat your jeans, the more beautiful they get.
