what do you guys think?

What do you guys think of wearing your dry denim to a job that involves servicing oil rig tools? Do you think working in such an oil filled and dirty environment that it would ruin the jeans, or make them look really sweet after 6 months + of steady work. By the way I would be wearing coveralls over top of the jeans, so they wouldnt be in direct contact with the dry denim, but im sure some of the dirt and oil and water etc would go through onto my clothes underneath. Thanks guys!

ps: it is an extremely messy and dirty job

what jeans? do it!

i would be wearing nudie thin finn dry blacks. so in general since they are black they would be harder to break in but this just might be the job to get them looking really awesome.

yeah why not, try it!

they'll be nice and stinky.

if your goal is to get nice natural creases you might want to consider the fact that the creases (especially the honeycombs) that develop when wearing coveralls will be different from when youre just walking down the street in your jeans. not sure if i phrased that clearly, but hopefully you get what im saying.

As long as the coveralls are loose then should be great ..

ya the coveralls are super loose. i was just wondering if the oil would stain them to bad etc.

I don't know man, as I have stated before, I am a laundry man in Texas and some of our business comes from oil workers. We wash their jeans and their coveralls and without exception every pair I have washed for them have been absolutely ruined and incredibly ugly and stinking with oil. I don't know exactly what you do but if you are doing what these guys are doing your shit will be completely ruined. I have washed oil workers uniforms and to clean them it takes two to three washes with industrial strength degreaser and they still come out a shit brown color and reak of crude. If I were you I would buy some jeans you don't mind throwing away.
