  1. well as I mentioned, from my experience washed jeans dont really loose much color. might depend on how they're made etc but I cant imagine one wash doing that much to them. so I'd just throw them in the washer, but if you want to be extremely careful hand wash them in cold water or take them to the cleaners.

    apu: if you dont want then to shrink just throw them over your shower curtain, lay flat or whatever you want. if shrinkage is ok, you can tumble dry them.

  2. hmm... I've had a pair of italian 21's and japanese 21's (both s/s06) and saw very little difference in the stiffness, both felt like raw denim is supposed to. I sold the italians because I liked the fitment in the japs better.

    so as said you might have gotten the one wash ones, I've never seen those though so couldn't really say. or maybe they were worn more than said

  3. if regular washing ruins them then theres something seriously wrong with the jeans. washed jeans can be washed in a washing machine normally, just wash them in cold or warm, inside out, low drying cycle and hang to dry.

    wearing them inside out in the shower seems pretty stupid, if theres any dirt or stains (as you said) it will be on the inside and probably won't come off.

    I understand theres all kinds of tips and tricks for raw denim, I've stood in the shower with mine too, but washed jeans are not the same. I have a couple of pairs of somewhat expensive jeans and I've washed the others atleast 5 times and others around 10 times with no noticeable effect.

    if youre really that unsure then just drop them at the cleaners..

  4. over here zara actually has pretty nice shoes every now and then!

    and about the suit x sneakers thing, IMO it can look good if done correctly. I've worn my marc jacobs vans' with a suit to work and I think it looks good. nowadays I wear jeans and a blazer much more often though, but anyways..

  5. hmm havent thought of zombies, gotta admit.. I do however have a habit of thinking whether I'm prepared if someone would break into my apartment, or if there was a fire would I have equipment to climb down from the 5th floor.

  6. anyone heard the news that Peedi Peedi might become a part of The Roots?

    if it works out it could be good, I think he can compliment Black Thought pretty good with higher voice and quick flow plus I'm interested in hearing new stuff from him. Long Time was my favorite track of the album.

  7. Do people instinctively throw up a peace sign (bonus points if it's sideways) and look like a douche when a camera is pulled out, or am I missing something?

    I think its a natural reaction for some people, I've seen pics of myself wasted where I make weird finger and hand gestures, some like you mentioned and others that dont make no sense. I dont know why but when you see someone taking a pic you have a weird need to react somehow, usually ending up in stupid shit like that..
