no, it would not be a mistake

if you need to shrink them, do it

just turn them inside out and resist giving any agitation to your jean

& maybe throw them in the dryer after the soak

[kenzie]

so corters got those cordovan bifolds and im really liking them. does anyone know any comparable bifolds in style? not really worried about price, just want to see what other options i have

[oh soul legit]

if a pair of jeans are sanforized, will they shrink after a wash at lets say the 6mo mark?

and what does bsp mean?

thanks guys

[kenzie]

sanforized denim generally wont shrink or stretch much, even with hot water and hard wear. usually, you can expect between .5 and 1 inch in either direction

as for bsp, im not sure. i assume youre looking at 3sixteens though?

if you are look at 3sixteen+, it seems to me like BSP is just their way of labeling their cuts. if someone else knows what this is, please share, im no expert

[ranonranonarat]

BSP = Bomb Shit Pussy

can anyone recommend a specific brand of mink oil?

[madstaxbro]

Biefings makes it.

[Diabetes]

ordered a pair of warehouse BiG 660. should i initially soak them? or initially wash them? im not sure what to do

[kenzie]

Biefings makes it.

[ranonranonarat]

i use colymbus mink oil. it works great.

[kenzie]

yeah i did some looking around columbus seems to have a pretty good following. i already have Obenaufs LP, so is the mink oil even really necessary? i've heard from some that the mink oil should be put on first and the Obenaufs should be used as a finishing top-coat kind of thing

Soak, turn inside out, put in warm water, add natural soap if you want, let soak, take out, wring, let dry.

Do black APC New Standards fit the same as the indigos? Two sizes down or true to size? Cheers

[timm3hhh]

So two of my Sams were accidentally dryer-washed on maximum settings, resulting in the white stripe down the pants leg where they folded. I know the white stripe is pretty permanent sadly, but is there any way to get rid of the crease? Logically I'd iron it for any fabric other than denim, but something tells me that ironing would make it worse. Thanks.

It has the same fit as far as I know, but I am not sure about the oz. of the denim fabric. I think It has lighter oz. so should be stretch a lot more. Waiting for a APC expert.

anyone ever tried soaking their jeans in a swimming pool?

strong Chlorine!!! not a good idea.

Someone at some point most certainly would have, but it seems like a stupid idea

[bluedust]

some of my friends used to soak denim in warm water mix with vinegar and salt. They believe it can help keeping the color.

[Stratos]

They are right, both salt and vinager fix colours, although not forever.
