What to do while soaking/washing jeans

[HEWSINATOR]

...other than posting in your underwear? I feel like if I go out and do something, I am wasteing good wear. Hence, this post while my jeans are in a hot soak after 2 months to tighten them up, and try something new (more soaks/washes Ryu and CMF steez).

He was Kim Jong il in disguise.

No more luxury goods- hence, no more premium denim.

i don't like to do anything requiring my full attention whilst machine-washing jeans-------i have to make sure to extract the jeans before the spin cycle

common wisdon = no spin cycle

why is that, again?

why is hanging a sopping wet pair of jeans to dry so much better water removal via centripetal force?

so you dont lose creases from the jeans being crushed by the spinning

[denimdestroyedmylife]

i don't think that's a concern so much, cheap.

the spin cycle causes weird creases, not just creases, but fading along those weird creases from abrasion. the spin cycle did a number on a raw LEE jacket. you can minimize the damage by carefully lining the interior walls of the washing machine with your jeans so that they just spin around with twisting and getting mangled, but it is a gamble.

the samurai MASTER discusses the spin cycle. lemme grab the link and report back. but i've got work ATM so it may be a moment. patience.

i've been walking the streets at night

just tryin' to get it right

it's hard to see with so many around

you know i don't like being stuck in a crowd

but the streets don't change, but baby the names

i ain't got time or the game cuz i need you...

EDIT: HERE IS THE MASTER SPIN CYCLE THREAD

cheap:

that...

strikes me as ridiculous.

i would think that the agitation of the mechanized washing apparatus would take care of smooshing the precious creases.

also, when i've machine-washed my jeans, the creases have always come back in the same spots, i'm guessing because the fabric has learned to bend there (i.e. it's been weakened).

just jeans, yeah?

diddy:

thanks for the link, but i'm not sure i buy it...

[cheapmuthafukr]

well... i know the creases go back to the same place.... i was just giving a guess.

i guess i can be wrong too.
