Thanks guys. Looks like I'll be off to my local dry cleaner tomorrow. I do have some good creases, but not enough missing indigo to do a wash.

What are the important things to tell the cleaners.

I have a pair of APC Rescues I bought the 29th of April, and I've worn them pretty regularly. Last night they got dirty, and I was wondering if I should wash them, or dry clean them? I know most people wait the full 6 months before washing the jeans, but what would happen if I didn't?

For more information that you can ever want, styleforum.net is an amazing reference for suiting information.

You seem to be pretty mature for a 16 year old, I'm impressed.

Rainbows, A&F plaid shorts, A&F polo, JCrew undershit- gonna change in a sec to go out though.

Wooo, styleforum represent.

www.ubiqlife.com- message boards, you can ask them there. The store is pretty cool for shoes, and decent men'sware. The Marc Jacobs they have is the same from eluxury.com though.

Oh yeah, for those of you loving Caribou- you've heard Manitoba's (their old name)- T&A: The Great Canadian Weekend right? Love that track.

None of these are the latest , but I am still listening to them, so I like them alot.

The Epochs- Mouths To Feed

Belle and Sebastian (because they're my favorite)- Everything they've done

The Hidden Cameras- In The Union of Wine

The Magnetic Fields- Washington, DC.

A.C. Newman- On The Table

What would you say the most gorgous denim is?

I am really liking my JP Da'Mage denim, its beautiful right now, but nothing really that special.

Haha man, thanks. I didn't know who to ask/creidt with the template, but thanks really.

but the image on the shirt would be a little smaller I think.

Scott Morrison founded Ernest Sewn after a dispute last year at PD&C (which I believe he founded).

I am really feeling these back "nail" rivets-

Post up your most current photos of your unwashed denims. Lets try and keep this updated every week/month/whereveryoufeelliikeit.

My Unworn APC Rescues (Bought them yesterday, the 28th)

Most definatly- I drove up from philly yesterday. If you can cancel your order, the staff is very helpful and you get to try them on.

I was at the A.P.C. on Mercer in NYC yesterday- i tried on some anglaise and they fit well- then I tried on some Rescues, they have plenty. Bought them too- the hotness.

I would not do it to your A.P.C.'s. It thins out your denim and it takes a few washes in the machine to get the bleech smell out. I've done it twice with your standard mall brands (hollister and buckle-ew). I just put them in a bucket with Clorox and water (half and half or less) and let it sit for an hour or two. Watch them though, my second pair ended up gettting eaten when I tried to redo it.

I know this is not exactly a supershopper appropriate thread, but since we have no dedicated denim forum and denim is extensivly discussed here, I am hoping you'll let it slide....

But have any of you done anything do your denim? Pics? Ideas?

I had a pair of jeans I bleached white (turned out pretty decent)- before you jump down my throat, it fit my style.

I also did some tears in my jeans like the True Religion jeans with the long tears down the thigh (not really my style, just experimenting with the different ways to do it).

What have ya'll done?

I haven't even worn them yet so no washing yet either. I'm contemplating sending them back just because I'd like to wear the hell out of them but since I work in an office, I really won't get a chance to do it. If anyone is interested, I can let them go for $US75 (I originally paid 50pounds shipped to New York) Its gonna cost me a fair bit to send them back to the UK from NYC so I could set up an auction on ebay if anyone is interested in them. They are great jeans and its a shame that I won't ever get to break them in. Hmmm....maybe I should keep them....Howies you're making this too hard!

Size?

1. JP Da'Mage Ice

Actually, thats the only pair I wear.

my personal tastes would have me leaning to the APC, I already own a pair of the anglais and I think that nudie's have plain old too much shit going on in regards to the stitching on the back pockets.

not feeling it one bit.

Couldn't one just tear out the back stiching with a seam ripper? I am considering that if I go Nudie instead of A.P.C.
