Putting a large piece of medium-heavy weight denim into the washing machine can sometimes lead to white creases in the denim, this is because it is a stiff fabric so it doesn’t have room to move around. We recommend doing the following to help this not to happen:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWash your denim on its own for the first wash.
