Sizing

These Lot64 Awa-ai are considered true-to-size.

A tagged W32 will most-likely be the right size for an individual with an approximate measured waist of +/- 32 inches, and with average body proportions.

Wash & Care

Wash when necessary, as with other premium denim garments.

We recommend turning the jeans and jacket inside-out to avoid potential marbling of the denim fabric. Wash separately from light-colored garments.

Machine wash with cold water, gentle cycle, eco-friendly mild detergent and line dry. Using hot water/heat dryer may result in excessive and irreversible shrinkage.

As with all indigo-dyed denim, temporary croaking (color bleeding) is to be expected, and the indigo color could potentially rub on light color garments and furniture. Indigo rubs can easily be spot-cleaned using a small amount of laundry detergent on a clean damp cloth.
