Smell upon receipt? New denim items may initially have a slight material or dye smell – this is harmless and temporary.
How to remove the smell in a few days:
- Unpack jeans and air out for 48–72 hours (in the shade, no direct sunlight).
- Optional: lightly spray with fabric freshener or place next to a bowl of baking soda/coffee grounds.
- If necessary: Cold wash inside out in a laundry net (delicate wash), then lay flat to dry and air out again.
Care: Wash inside out, no fabric softener, do not bleach, iron on low temperature.
