^am in kerkhoff study lounge killing time before 4pm class, orgy up in this bitch any day on them long couches

[Osmosis Jones]

time to wash my jeans? it's up to you superfuture!

6 months, 1 cold soak, countless times in the rain and on a motorcycle.

[panthermodern]

personally i'd just hold off until it seems the the stitching is really weak... they look great regardless of what you do

[Osmosis Jones]

lol too late... i just handwashed them.

And I've never had any stitching break on me... Not even a crotch blowout. The closest I have is when I fell off my scooter and slid on my knees.

[Blackbeard]

those look really good evilcrayon

[cure]

evilcrayon the fit on you looks good on you, so i wouldn't think that you'd get rips or shit from sizing down. mine were just gettin kinda smelly.

[Osmosis Jones]

I'm contemplating throwing them in the dryer...

I used Sugarcane Denim Detergent and handwashed in warm water(not hot but you'd take a bath in it). Rinsed afterwards alternating between cold and hot water. Used the Premium Care stuff which came with it and soaked in 104F water for 25 minutes. They're hang-drying right now.

[halberdklown]

[thatslapz]

Good stuff EvilCrayon.

I just thought I would do a quick update on my 1001's. It's been 6 months and I did one hand wash at 5 months. Here they are after I had my plant science class. I planted a garden (strawberries, eggplant, parsley +9 other crops), which is why they're a little dirty.

6 months and 1 quick handwash

Do you guys hang dry your jeans? I hate it when they're stiff again so I usually let them hang dry overnight and when you have to wring it out super hard to get any water out, I usually just toss it in the dryer till it's dry...

[panthermodern]

You should dry in daytime in the shade in a well ventilated area... overnight sucks at least in my experience. The dryer is good but you gotta remember when using machines to throw in some towels during wash and dry to prevent weird creasing.

[branespload]

^ What benefit is there to drying in the shade? I do mine outside-out, in direct sunlight.. it's much faster..

[panthermodern]

I dunno I guess it's just paranoia but I've seen people post on here before about sustained direct sunlight on wet jeans damaging the indigo... Not really sure if that's true or not. I agree sunlight is faster and I have dried jeans out that way before without any noticeable negative effects.

Direct sunlight damaging indigo seems kinda iffy to me, I'm pretty sure jeans were designed to be able to withstand the sun.. otherwise people would have to carry a parasol and work at night. But I've also read on superdenim that you can't get fades at night...

[iamstarwars]

Direct sunlight does fade indigo, but it takes a lot more than 3 hours in the sun to sunbleach your jeans. Plus, denim has a delicious smell after it's been under the sun for a few hours (at least on my PBJ).

At least we know this is true
