Disclaimer: These jeans are made of unsanforized denim but have gone through a special rinse process we developed with Pure Blue Japan which is exclusive to Self Edge. The jeans have been lightly soaked inside out in warm water then air dried; there is minimal shrinkage left in the denim while the jean still feels rigid due to the "at home" style rinse process. These jeans have not gone through any industrial washing or drying processes. Pure Blue Japan NP-013 17oz Nep Denim Jeans - Slim Tapered
