Starting out/Prepping?

[ddong88]

First off, Hello everyone, ive been browsing this forum for months and finally decided to move my lazy ass and join.

Ok I am pretty much a newb at denim , so bare with me:p, ive been reading the denim encyclopedia in the forum, but i still have questions.

I recently bought some Levi's 501 STF, i was wondering if these are some good quality jeans,

also what do i do now??

Do i soak them in water before i wear?

Put starch on them??

I have no clue :confused:

Someone please school me on the steps on prepping the jeans to wear!

Sorry for my noobiness

My advise wear'm for six months before you soak'm in cold water then hang dry.

Are Levi's 501 considered RAW and selvedge?

i feel this question is pretty stupid, sorry hahah

[chris_n]

please read the thread at the top of this forum

edit: i guess i'll be less of an ass and tell you: regular non LVC levis 501 STF are not selvage, they are raw and unwashed and unsanforized.

Just soak them inside out in warmish water a few hours - agitate a little with your hands in the tub - no squeezing and no twisting or ringing of them ..

hang dry by the cuffs and put them on while still damp ..
