    Notes

    A washed-black Only & Sons denim trucker (the "Onboom") in a classic western cut — cotton denim (100% cotton), two chest pockets and a snap front. The black sits it in a monochrome dark-minimalist base, and as a light outer layer it reads elegant-rock: thrown over a black tee and black jeans, or as a dark layer over white. Size M.

    Care regimens

    Denim — jeans and denim jackets

    every ~60 days

    The one thing: wash rarely. Air and hang between wears, spot-clean marks, and when you must wash — inside out, cold, with a colour/dark detergent. That's what keeps black and indigo.

    After each wear: air and hang between wears — denim freshens with air, not washing

    Everyday

    After each wear and periodically.

    1. Wear many times between washes — airing and hanging freshens denim better than the machine.
    2. Spot-clean small marks with a damp cloth instead of washing the whole thing.
    3. Steam out creases; lift lint and threads with a lint roller.

    What not to do

    • Washing rarely is the single biggest thing for colour life — don't wash out of habit.

    When dirty

    When visibly dirty or sweated through.

    1. Turn inside out and fasten buttons and zips.
    2. Pre-treat stains with a fabric stain remover.
    3. Wash cold (≤30 °C), gentle cycle, with a colour/dark-protecting detergent.
    4. Line dry, away from direct sun, which bleaches the colour.

    What not to do

    • No bleach and no fabric softener — bleach destroys indigo, softener weakens the fabric and its absorbency.
    • Don't tumble dry or dry on a radiator — heat shrinks denim and speeds fading.

    Just bought

    Before first wear.

    1. Dark or raw denim bleeds: first few washes alone, never with light items.
    2. Wash inside out, cold, to limit indigo bleed and set the colour.

    What not to do

    • Expect crocking — raw indigo rubs off onto skin and light fabrics for the first few weeks.

    Restore

    only when needed

    Only when black or indigo has visibly faded.

    1. Revive the colour with a colour/dark-detergent wash — inside out, cold.
    2. For heavy fading, consider professional dyeing rather than a home dye.

    Products and tools

    What not to do

    • Never bleach faded denim to "freshen" it — it irreversibly damages the fibre and the colour that's left.
