Good points David. I took a swatch of the sample he sent and used a sharpie to mark off about 6 inches and then washed it in detergent on heavy soil cycle, then dried them on heavy bedding cycle for a lot of heat for an hour.
When measured to the marks, I got no shrinkage. The original green cast washed out and it came out as a brown.
Real denim should be dyed in the thread before weaving.
