Just picked up a pair of size 26 NS, they are alittle to long to be stacked and before going and getting them hemmed I was wondering if I should hot soak them. The waist fits fine and if it shrunk an inch or so it wont be a problem. Let me know guys

Size down.

Quick question, do the black and indigo NS stretch differently? I've heard both that the black stretches less AND that it stretches more, and need this cleared up (im currently debating whether to buy a black or indigo in sz 28, I normally wear STFs in 31x36 with a measured waist of 31.5).

[tyang]

^ not really. If you dry clean them you'll get more contrast, and lose less indigo. If you hand wash them you'll overall lose more indigo but overall they'll look more faded

that was my point. thanks iralex

[iralex]

yeah, I think you should dry clean them. Maybe hold out a month though

Black stretches very slightly less, but not enough so that you should change sizes.

I have a pair of New Cures and have had them for about 2 and a half months. I have worn them about 2 months. The thing is, two nights ago at a party, i was making myself a drink near the kitchen sink as my friend puked on the floor like 2 feet away from me. I was really drunk but I remember I felt maybe a bit of puke sprinkled over the lower part of my jeans. The next morning I looked at my jeans really closely and noticed nothing. I can't tell if my friend puked on them or not. Should I wash them?

[lintmunro]

I say no. If you can't tell, can't smell, don't bother.

[ZMEH]

what's the best way to make worn apcs darker in colour? e.g more intense blue

i don't think they have woolites in australia so does anyone know any substitutes?

[iralex]

woolite does not make jeans darker in color, if you can obtain indigo then you can re-dye your jeans, maybe?

[rockon99]

^ agreed - theyre only getting lighter as time passes. lol

[lintmunro]

So I tried on a 26PS, could barely get it up high enough to button the first button. A 28NC fit but would stretch too much, so I guess I'm ordering a 27PS. Wish me luck.

why wouldn't it make it darker? the white faded parts would definately be a bit darker.

[iralex]

it's detergent, not dye.

[khoiphan92]

so youre saying that if you throw a white shirt in and use woolite dark it won't turn darker?

[iralex]

it shouldn't, but it might. I just know from expierence that woolite won't turn the white parts of your jeans darker.

[khoiphan92]

if it might for a tshirt, i don't see why it wouldn't for pants. theyre both made out of cotton.

[iralex]

have you ever used it? it's soap, soap does the opposite of dying things.

[lintmunro]

Why would woolite make your clothes darker? Like iralex said, it's soap. Yes, it's meant for darker clothing, but that means it helps retain colour. It doesn't mean it re-fills it. It's not a dye.

well the only way i would see it keep clothes and pants dark, would be to darken it somehow..

[iralex]

or be gentle enough to not remove much dye. woolite does not darken clothing, go see for yourself. and here's where you should be posting:

This makes about as much sense as saying that the only way umbrellas keep you dry is by blasting you with hot air.

i picked up a size 29 NS today and i was going to buy a 28 but i told the lady i wanted a baggyish look when my true waist is like a 31.5. so what do you guys think? good idea? bad idea? cause she told me the 29 could only stretch out to 30.5 maximum so i can get the baggy look.

oh and here it is. DAY 1. size 29 NS

i hate it when buddies bicker...you crazy kids!!! woolite dark is a detergent silly. dirt 101: detergents are harsher than soap. use bronners if anything. plain water, no matter how hot, will dissolve indigo dye. so a mixture ofmild soap and plain water will do the trick. use all the soap you want as long as you rinse it all out. . machine washing takes out extra indigo because of the mechanical action of the machine beating the shit out of your jeans under water. you dont need the latest magical japanese 2-step super-soap, or none of that, just some dr. bronners. its cheaper overall(you use very little), better overall,gentler (ph neutral) and its green-soap. your intensity of wear will have more to do with your fading anyway, esp. if you dont overwash. APCs arent dyed that great, and wash-out too fast anyway:o, so use the gentlest soap possible.
