there are two types of raw denim - sanforized and unsanforized. unsanforized will shrink considerably upon soaking/washing. These are sometimes referred to as stf. with these jeans most people recommend soaking first so that your fades don't move when you first wash (in other words, get the shrinking out of the way before washing them). the jeans you bought were sanforized so they may shrink a little when you first wash them, but not enough so that you should need to soak first. just wear the hell out of them and see how the fades turn out.

Who knows. My best guess is that they're not raw but just a dark rinse
