What the FAQ — Are our jeans sanforized?

What is sanforized denim?

Sanforization is a finishing step in which the weaves at the mill are pre-shrunk by the use of compressions and steam. And this is mainly of interest on dry denim, which are not pre-washed.

The results of sanforization leads to about 1-3% shrinkage during home laundry as opposed to 10% with un-sanforized jeans.

So, here to answer the question of whether or not Nudie Jeans denim is sanforized is Anna from our Customer Experience team.
