How do you take care of your jeans?
Here are some general rules of customized jeans care:
1. Never give your jeans to dry-cleaner’s
2. To presoak or wash your jeans turn them inside out, close the zippers or buttons.
3. Before presoaking jeans dissolve washing powder in water, never pour it onto denim directly! Besides, washing powder you use for jeans washing must be free of bleaching additives.
4. Never presoak jean in hot water, 40 C will be enough. Also don’t keep your tailor made jeans in water longer than one or two hours. The best way to presoak jeans is to spread them throughout the length in a bath.

5. Black and bright-colored jeans should be washed in warm water with addition of 9% vinegar in a proportion of 100 ml to 5 liters of water. This will prevent denim from losing color.
6. Wash your jeans by hand or using a soft brush. Or wash them in a washing machine in normal cycle.
7. Don’t get despaired when the water you wash your jeans in takes color, it’s normal. High quality denim never loses color; it just gives away excessive dye.
8. When rinsing your jeans for the last time you can also add some vinegar to water. The proportions are the same as listed above. Softening solution should be added as well.
9. Never screw or drain jeans after washing them. Let the water drop off, then smooth out wet jeans with your hands and hang them fixed on the belt in fresh air, but not in the sun.
10. If your jeans shrink after washing, they can be stretched 2-3 centimeters while they are wet. The procedure can be repeated until the desirable result is reached.
11. After drying denim becomes rough. Jeans can be softened when turned in the washing machine in dry regime for 5 minutes.
12. Jeans should be ironed from the outside, then they become softer and more comfortable to wear. When ironed from the right side a thin cotton cloth should be used.
