RRL Low Straight One-Wash Selvedge Denim: First Wash Review, Measurements & Fit Restoration Data

Hello, this is Lislab . For any denim enthusiast, there is always a quiet thrill in breaking in and caring for a favorite pair of jeans. Today, I’d like to share the first wash process, before-and-after measurement data, and subsequent wear updates for my RRL Low Straight One-Wash Selvedge Denim —a pair I’ve been documenting right here on my blog. Generally, one-wash, sanforized denim carries little stress when it comes to washing. However, as wears accumulate, proper timing becomes essential to reset the fabric’s tension and restore the silhouette from inevitable wear-stretching. Rather than aiming for drastic shrinkage or rapid fading, this first wash was focused entirely on tidying up the stretched waist, knees, and rear seat area. While some time has passed since the actual washing took place, I’ve included both the immediate post-wash data and the real-world evolution observed after putting another 40+ wears on them since.

[Lislab] Archiving Fashion and Tools that Deepen with Time



lislab-travelers-notebook-leather-main


Hello, this is Lislab.

We encounter countless objects throughout our lives. I believe that the clothes we wear every day and the tools at our fingertips are much more than mere consumables.

Do you remember that thrill after a long period of contemplation before finally making a purchase? That excitement might be brief, but the lasting satisfaction and happiness a "good object" provides stay with us for a very long time.

Objects that stay, even as they wear down; Objects whose value remains, even after years of use; Objects that become a part of us, even after being repaired over and over.

Countless things come and go. However, I believe what truly matters is the value and legacy they leave behind during that time.



The True Value of Objects: Heritage & Patina


Some items don't even last a year, while others stay by our side for over a decade, soaking up our habits and memories. In particular, fashion items and tools that develop a unique 'Patina' (Aging)—reflecting the owner's lifestyle—become one-of-a-kind treasures in the world.

I tend to dive deep into the essence of every object I buy. I'm starting this archive because I believe my meticulous explorations might offer the right answers to someone else. Instead of being blinded by luxury price tags or brand names, I focus on the essence and craftsmanship of the product.



Closing: Lislab: The Roadmap


At Lislab (Lifestyle Lab), I will explore the following themes in depth:

  • Heritage Fashion: Classic items like raw denim and workwear that transcend trends and age beautifully over time.

  • Essential Tools: A curation of analog gear like diaries and stationery, alongside high-end IT peripherals (keyboards, mice) that enhance productivity.

  • Lifestyle Insights: Perspectives on developing an eye for quality and the positive impact well-made objects have on our lives.


I look forward to connecting with those who share similar tastes. I hope my records provide a small spark of inspiration for your choices.

Sincerely, Lislab
