Denim can carry the story of its owner.
I heard that you recommend a true size when fitting.
Makita:. yes, I think it is. I think it should be just right, even if it is a little hard. Then you will appreciate the quality of the fabric. I usually wear a size larger, but these fit just right.
Some brands release denim with a faded finish, but this time, only rigid denim is used. I feel there is a sense of innocence in this.
Makita:Washes are against the philosophy of "agnès b." He doesn't like them either. He doesn't like it either. I share the same opinion, so it's perfect for me. They are not one-washed, but rigid with glue on them. . but they have been sanforized to prevent shrinkage, so you can wash them.
Should I wash it first?
Men's sizes range from 27" to 34" . Mr. Makita is wearing a size that fits him perfectly, and the photo shows the 10th day after he started wearing them. You can see that the wrinkles have been blended in, and the look has become more expressive.
Makita:. It is better to wash and remove the glue before putting it on, so that the color will fade better. You can even put them in the dryer, and they will look better if you stuff the fabric more tightly before putting them on. On the other hand, if you don't want the color to fade that much, you should wear them without washing. I think it is up to each person's preference.
I see you can put it in the dryer.
Makita:. it's totally fine. The shrinkage rate is about 1%-3%, and it's very strong in the vertical direction. . Therefore, I would recommend that you wash it once and then have it lengthened. The texture improves when the garment is placed in the dryer, and the glue is removed, making the fabric feel fluffy and soft to the touch. From there, I would recommend continuing to wear them and letting the wrinkles set in.
I now understand why you didn't make a washed version (laughs).
Makita:It'll be totally different, like where the knees are. I thought, "There's no way the color will fade like that! (laughs). The color fades differently for each person, of course. That's the point of growing them. When I look at vintage denim, I like to think about the previous owner's occupation and lifestyle. Denim can carry such a story. It expresses personality and individuality. Agnès b. has such feelings, and I think that's why he doesn't like to process denim.
Did you meet Mr. agnes b. himself?
Makita:We haven't met yet. I wish I could go to France. . According to what I heard, he was looking at this denim quite a bit. That's very exciting, isn't it? I made it because I wanted her to be happy as well as the customers.
