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] The Weight of Sincerity: Why I Record with High Density

Hello, this is Lislab.

It has already been three weeks since I began archiving under the name Lislab. Initially, my goal was simple: to quietly organize my personal tastes and information in one place, and to share those interests with like-minded individuals.

However, over the past few days, something has made me stop and reflect deeply. I realized that within the sentences I’ve carefully crafted, I am sharing a 'deep breath' with many more people than I had expected.



Sentences Written with Care, Hearts Read with Sincerity


From warm encouragements like "I enjoyed reading this" and "Thank you for the great content," to serious inquiries seeking style advice, and even overwhelming praise and support.

Some have expressed their thoughts directly, while others have stayed quietly on my blog, silently reading through every single word. The fact that readers are investing as much time in reading as I have invested in writing is, above all, a profound resonance for me.

What might be mere 'information' to some can be an essential 'guide' for others when investing their precious resources in a new item. This realization adds a sense of responsibility to my work.


"If this uncompromising stubbornness can serve as a small but solid milestone in someone’s wardrobe or on someone’s desk, that is more than enough for me."


Therefore, Lislab will continue to pursue meticulous and high-density records, even if the process is a bit slow and unrefined.



Closing: Records of the Time to Come

"The records of the past, the present, and the time that is yet to come."


In truth, there are still many 'heavyweight' stories waiting to be shared.

Starting with the recently introduced A.P.C., I plan to meticulously unveil the records of the remaining five pairs of heritage raw denim I’ve cherished, along with the distinct charms of washed and black denim.

Notably, after acquiring the A.P.C., I have welcomed 'another incredible piece' into my collection. I have already detailed everything from its unboxing to precise measurements of the new product, and I am very much looking forward to the day I can introduce it to you.

Beyond denim, I will continue to precisely record the pieces of a 'high-density lifestyle'—from the diaries and keyboards that accompany my daily life to the bags and pouches I reach for every day.

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who takes the precious time to read my writing with such care. I will continue to provide 'sincere writing' and 'valuable information' that can truly assist you in your choices.

Thank you for reading this long journey.

Sincerely, Lislab
