I spilled copious amounts of water on my dry jeans in the 2nd month. Are they ruined?

[startmeup]

Hi. I have a pair of acne hep raws that are starting to bleed and get whiskered and combed, but i spilled lotsa water on the thigh. Will this greatly affect the pair

Don't you know? Dry denim is like the wicked witch of the west. I guess you better go kill yourself.

not only are they ruined now, but they are fake too. sorry.

they are fine, ok? dont worry about it and just wear them.

they are just jeans.

shit...

[startmeup]

But it was localized to the left thigh. what'll happen if i just keep on keepin on and wash them in another 8 months, will there be more or less contrast on the left thigh

[cheapmuthafukr]

ok... post pics.

but once again, they will be fine. water doesnt fade jeans, abrasion fades jeans. indigo is not water soluble.

you are lucky. usually someone gets flamed for shit like this.

shit...

No, they are not ruined. Spilling water is no problem at all. That's a denim myth, and it's false.

put it in the washing machine with some dr bronners asap to get the water out.

Exactly, as cheapmuthafukr said, indigo isnt water soluable.

We need a denim mythbusters thread

I feel for the admin team on this one, it's just too dumb of a topic to put a sticky up for....

For anyone curious, I've spilled more than copious amounts of water on my jeans. I've sprayed, dabbed, poured, drenched, everything but swam in my jeans. Where you'll lose most of the indigo is in the agitation. SO if you do spill water on your raw jeans, take them off, and let them dry flat. Oh ya, and calm down.

I love it when everybody starts "flaming" or starts ranting on with their "go search".
