SIZING/FIT We recommend the usual protocol before wearing: Cold soak for about 30-40mn, with occasional hand agitation. Wear briefly before fully-dry to shape and set creases, then hang until fully dry. These Lot64 Awa-ai are considered true-to-size. A tagged W32 will most-likely be the right size for an individual with an approximate measured waist of +/- 32 inches, and with average body proportions. Note that your natural waist is a bit bellow belly button level, not bellow the hips. The waist size that will work best for you depends on how you like your jeans to fit. Please refer to size chart. The Mister Freedom® Californian Lot64 comes raw/unwashed, and will shrink to tagged size. Please refer to sizing chart to determine which size works for you. CL's Advice: I (5’7 ~142 Lbs.) opted for a W30 in these, for a classic silhouette. I went un-hemmed and un-cuffed for a “sloppy” period stacking for a change. CARE Wash when necessary, as with other premium denim garments.We recommend turning the jeans and jacket inside-out to avoid potential marbling of the denim fabric. Using hot water/heat dryer may result in excessive and irreversible shrinkage.As with all indigo-dyed denim, temporary croaking (color bleeding) is to be expected, and the indigo color could potentially rub on light color garments and furniture. Indigo rubs can easily be spot-cleaned using a small amount of laundry detergent on a clean damp cloth. STORY View our blog to read full details on the Awa-Ai Denim.
