Denim that lasts: how to care for your Arisi

A great jean is not fragile, but it rewards care. Here is how to keep your Arisi sculpting the way it did on day one.

Wash less than you think. Denim does not need washing after every wear; air it out and spot clean when you can. When it is time, machine wash cold, inside out, on a gentle cycle, with a mild detergent and no bleach.

Skip the dryer. Heat is the enemy of stretch recovery, and recovery is what keeps the sculpt. Hang your Arisi to dry, away from direct sun, and it will thank you for years.

Iron rarely, and cool. The fabrics we use fall back into shape on their own; if you ever need an iron, keep it cool and work inside out.

Styles with crystal shimmer or embroidery deserve one extra kindness: wash them inside a mesh bag, alone or with soft fabrics.

And the belt that comes with your pair? It does not go in the machine at all; a soft cloth is all it ever needs.

Care this simple is not a chore. It is how a $200 jean becomes a ten year jean.
