Death of a Streak: wear halted by vom.

[andrewfuncrew]

so, happy 21st birthday to me

fucking yacked on the lees a bit

nearly 14 months no wash

i see no other option

how many people have incurred a puke-induced first wash?

[gimmegimme]

Gross...wash that shit.

[headtowall]

Just wash them. And post AFTER pictures.

[holotekor]

the real question is, what was in your puke

[andrewfuncrew]

Just wash them. And post AFTER pictures.

will do

except i still have another month and a half in europe

and i want to do a hot wash and i dont know that my washer here even allows

[andrewfuncrew]

the real question is, what was in your puke

booze and booze alone

[rome1]

If it was only alcohol, you could probably get away with some sort of fabreeze type stuff, i dont really know what they have over there. It will help a whole bunch if you could leave them outside in the sun and fresh air for a while that will help get some of the stink out.

[todesengel]

My APCs got their first wash due to puke. Bile gave me killer fades...

[watchman]

I have had to do this twice, it has never been too big of a deal

[ang_kangkong]

Sorry to hear that. Am anxiously awaiting what will happen next. It's 'cause of your 101s that I decided to stick it out with mine.

They're in tweedleinpink's top jeans, BTW.

[Chicken]

if i were you, i'd get a woolite type detergent, flip the jeans inside-out and stick it in a washing machine without other items for a wash. especially with sanforized lees, i don't think hot or cold matters much.

but if for some reason you don't trust the washing machines, then you could go and buy a bucket. or just use a bath tub. then handwash.

[Tenchi]

If you really dont want to wash them and they stink.

Chuck them in a box,

Open a box of sodium bicarbonate and put it in there (dont pour it on the jeans)

The sodium bicarb will absorb the smells and stuff. Its still dirty, but might feel that bit better.

[ang_kangkong]

I hope you follow Chicken's advice. There's also stomach acid in the vomit, keep in mind, and although it's pretty weak as acids go, they still might produce some weird fading on those 101s.

I've been waiting for post wash pics on these lees for months, wash them... walking around in 14 month jeans no wash is dirty, but vomit covered 14month no wash jeans is kind of disgusting.

pics pics pics

[Larry!]

I think the appropriate response is: Pics, or it didn't happen.

ya rly

10chars.

[LaiShin]

I don't see why u guys would wanna see puke on jeans.

I'm with headtowall on this, post AFTER wash pics.

[Larry!]

Well, we've already seen "man stain" so this shouldn't be too bad.

[Corbin Law]

ive had to do that

got a bit to over celebratory in my new cures one time and they got covered in puke

but it was right after i bought them so a nice rinse to start them off wouldnt do much harm.

thanks for the advice

one question though:

as you may have seen the crotch is blown out pretty bad

should i have this patched before or after the wash?

[andrewfuncrew]

bump for requested advice

[PG2G]

do you think a tailor is gonna patch dirty ass jeans with vomit on them?

[andrewfuncrew]

do you think a tailor is gonna patch dirty ass jeans with vomit on them?

i'm curious if the wash is gonna fuck the crotch even more

[denihilist]

Probably but what choice do you have?

[sbbbjm]

do it after, bc your jeans are all stretched out, filthy and brittle now and after the wash the fabric will be much 'stronger' and easier to work with.

plus it will give the patch something better to hold on to.

[Ispy]

This thread really takes this whole denim gig to a new level for me... lol. Happy Birthday!

[salaami]

just wash them. 14 mos without wash should produce nice results anyway. a necessary wash is just that. plus, your crotch was probably weakned by all the accumulated sweat, etc. one wash will overall improve the quality of wear for you, and the people who love you. your jeans will thank you, and in turn, youll thank yourself...

[homi29]

same shit happened to me

got way too fucked off of weed + alc, had to throw up twice

had no choice but to wash my nudies
