Indigo Invitational Rules

#1 Denim Must Be Raw

• Keep your jeans dry. No soaking or washing prior to the start date
• Sanforized or one-wash pairs are allowed
• You can hem or taper your jeans before the start date

#2 Fades Must Be Natural

• No sanding, pinching, or ironing creases in. Let the fades develop naturally
• A bit of bleach in the wash is fine, but do not apply bleach directly to your denim
• Ocean washes are fine, but sand scrubs are not
• Starching is discouraged

#3 Support Each Other

• We are a tight-knit, denim-loving community, be kind and courteous 
• Do nothing that gives you an unfair edge over your competitors
