  1. so i get my samurai 710s tomorrow, and i'm debating between a hot wash and a hot soak in boiling water. at the moment, i'm leaning towards a hot wash.

    from searching this thread, it seems that hot washes get more shrink out but at what expense? will the jeans lose more indigo? on average, how many hot washes does it take before the shrink is out?

    i've also noticed that using boiling water damages the patch. does any such damage happen after a hot wash? why would i want to do a hot soak rather than a hot wash?

    thanks in advance.

  2. so i've got some pretty big holes in the back pockets of my apcs. now i know i can patch it up with pieces of other denim, but my local tailor offers a service that uses mattress ticking to repair holes (i forget the name of the technique. i had it done for my crotch reinforcement). which technique should i do? i've never really seen the results of the "mattress ticking" repair so that's why i'm a little hesitant to do it. any words of advice would be rad.

  3. These are nuts. What did you do in your jeans?

    everyday wear. hard biking and skating in the summer and mild biking during the school year.

    @oh soul legit: see above.

  4. thanks everyone for the compliments. to those that asked my sams are about 17 months or so and have received about 5-6 washes

    what kind of washes if you don't mind me asking.

    and excuses my nooby-ness, but how is the 710 cut in relation to APC NS?

  5. Khez Thanks; it's washed twice, once at the 9th month mark and 11th month if I recall

    nice. hand washed or machine? i'm trying to decide for myself hahaha.

  6. so i posted pics of my jeans a page back and i'm pretty sure i'm going to wash them within the next few weeks.

    how should i wash them? tub or washer? i'm going for a high contrast fade that still retains the darkness of the indigo. opinions?
