This pair of jeans of 11.25 ounce American-made Williamsburg stretch selvedge jeans came to us for minor repairs. Worn by the customer, there are no supplied dates recording the age or wear associated with the jeans. However, we can assume this style has never been washed because there are no signs of washing, and this style was originally sold as raw denim jeans.

Looking at the deep, dark color in the base blue and highlights, we can see the jeans have absorbed body oils which generally cause the white yarns and indigo blue shades to darken or achieve a dirty tint. You can see the wearer also carries his mobile phone in his right pocket and possibly keys in his left. These are the types of unique aging attributes raw jeans will pick up during normal wear.
