LVC 1947 501s

Eh, I wanted to shake out some of my anal-retentive demons.

So I got a pair of the above jeans in the "harry" wash or whichever. I believe it's a wash, since there was a twist already in the left inseam, but maybe not. Any how, I decided I want the fit to be tighter. So I've done the terrible deed of machine washing them three times (no soap) in hot water, and I tumble dried them once in between. Now they're hang-drying. I don't plan to wash them again for quite awhile. Nonetheless, I'm aware my methods are looked down upon. Alls I want to know is - is the "awesome" wear-potential of the jeans lost or am i still hip?

It depends how much indigo you have lost. Put it this way: with 3 washes from the get go, you are seriously handicapped.

If you came to have people say don't worry, unfortunately, I think you will not get this.

[whorishconsumer]

eh. at least they fit better now.

Your jeans are going to be fine, just wear them really hard and don't worry about it.

I like this guy.

[poly800rock]

why do you think a few washes would make a difference? they're just jeans, you could do 10 washes and itd still turn out ok. YOUR JEANS WILL BE OK!

unless they are 30w 34l right now, they should be fine. if they are 30 34, youre screwed... send them to me for a proper supertrashing.

actually that's my size. they're labeled 36 by 38, but i washed them down to like a 30-31 by 35-36.

send me some damn jeans.

...why didn't you just return them for the size/fit you wanted? it would have saved you the trouble...

i'm guessing you couldn't, so i agree with damnlam. give 'em hell.

[watchman]

just wear the hell out of them in every way possible, and see how it turns out. Yours will just be even more uniquely yours and if you wait long enough for the next wash, they will have a cool light color along with the defined fades.

it was clearance - so yea, limited selection. but i got them for 25 bucks. Also, given the tighter fit of the LVCs, and with shrinkage, the 34s might have been too tight. Certainly the 32s were, even before washing.

speaking of giving pants hell, where can one get a paur of them nasty-ass Blue Bloods everyone's talking about - the one's that have the ass-sweat of the cotton-pickers?
