Question on washing and breaking in?

[poopslush]

and how can i do that? :confused: another soaking process WITHOUT soap?

...just put the jeans under the faucet and get the soap shit out of them.

[Tyler Durden]

rinse-to douse or drench in clean water as a final stage in washing.

that should be fine

[gonegonegone]

there are enzymes in this detergent. i read that you shouldn't use enzymes though... i'm confused.:confused:

[Pandemonium]

the enzymes usually associated with detergents make your clothes softer.

dunno if you want this, but i don't.

[gonegonegone]

and in woolite black there are no enzymes?

[fndmybetterhalf]

you people take denim way too fuckin seriously...woolite black? vege soap? what the fuck...put it in the wash with some of that big ass costco brand detergent and wash your jeans.

This is what I do, it works fine in my experiences, but I dont want someone to fuck up their jeans.

i just put my jeans in a cold soak, inside out. their CM's, i have a gum stain on my back right pocket. should i scrub it with my hands or use something? also, how long should i let it soak before washing, im going to use a handsoap from ecuador. and should i hang them up to dry in sun or shade?

i know alot of question, but bear with me, first wash im doing.

put them in the fridge, you should get it off easily after a few hours.

i used to only use dr.bronners, but after seeing how gordon's sams turned out with commercial detergent, and the current brokeness im experiencing, i dont even care anymore... one time i even used some shit called fabuloso( cheap commercial household cleanser they sell at the dollar store) that most denimheads would be scared shit to use. they turned out fine.

[Chipper]

You use the purple Fabuloso? shit smells good mang...my toilet smells wicked clean

[demarco]

First time I washed my jeans I used some cheap costco brand detergent. Jeans turn out fine, came out a little lighter where the most wear was, which is basically going to happen to your jeans sooner or later.

[modual]

Regarding Dr Bronners, is it the suds i should use when putting them in the washing machine / hand washing ?

[datasupa]

make sure you use the dr. bronners first, and the conditioner after

My pair of 5010xx skull jeans has been machined wash twice( yea i know its scewed) But is there anyway to get e effects from a raw jean that has been washed properly. I own this pair since the start of 2008 and it has been washed around mid year. It has not been washed before and after the 2 machine washes. So, should i wash it now? If so what is e correct procedure of washing. Or there is already no way to salvage my pair of jean. In need of replies, thanks.

I posted it at the skull jeans thread as well but does not seems to get e answers i wanted.

[blm14]

You're screwed. Insert a wet fork into a power outlet now.

You're trippin du. Use the small questions thread.

Er, what is the problem? Did you wash when they were dirty? Or did you wash too early. Either way, dont' stress about how you washed them, machine wash, even with commercial detergent is fine. Just get as much wear into them as you can between washes.

[salaami]

seconded. you bought skulls, meaning quality rope-dyed okayama-indigo denim. so you basically have a 2-wash instead of a one-wash. they should not look washed out like STFs already. dont stress. just wear the fuck out of them now. your jeans are FINE! ps: listen to paul T!!!!

[gonegonegone]

i'm doing the initial soak or my skulls right now. they were in the bathtub for an hour. when i take them out, should i rinse them or just hang dry right after taking them out?

it doesn't matter. a rinse may take out additional starch or whatever, but youre fine either way. just wear the shit out of them when they dry.

[gonegonegone]

I hang dry them over night, so i can't wear them while they are drying. Is that important?

you could wear them while they are drying, but why would you?? wet jeans feel sorta bad

[Charlie Delta]

The idea behind wearing your jeans while they're still damp is to set the creases and sort of mold them to your body.

It works, sort of...

Do with that what you will...

If repping did not exist, would we still have dilemmas such as these?
