How do I find out if a pair of Levi's is raw?

Thread Starter 

I have a pair of Levis 505 jeans which are selvedge. I'm guessing they are the type below, which would be raw according to the description, but the labels don't say anything besides 505.

My question is if there is any way - just looking at the jeans - that I can tell if they are raw?

if you cut into it with a fork and it doesn't want to give, it's probably raw. If it's very tender, most likely it's not.

Levi's 'Rigid' means raw.

In its uncooked form, it will feel spongy and soft. As it cooks, it becomes firmer and increasingly solid through the middle. If it is raw, be careful not to overcook it.

I once saw "ironheart denim" on a sashimi menu once. True story.
