The Evolution of Jeans: Pictures, Scones and Tea

[morse9443]

I know what you guys are saying, I hate people and places like the levis store using cartoons to teach me about washing and care methods. I don't go around saying 'never wash your jeans', I just never wash my jeans. My jeans are a catchall, spilled beer, blood sweat tears, carry on..

[CMCiA]

I actually like washing at regular intervals, but no point in washing or soaking if you only need a spot clean. I count febreeze as a spot clean.

I'm evoing my t-shirts…damn sufu

[robbie]

I do not febreeze my jeans any more. It doesn't do anything to remove odor, it just adds more odor. I have used the freezer occasionally, and don't find it to be a solution to odor either. While it makes the first hour or so pleasant enough, unless you sit all day you will reanimate if you will those odors you used cryogenics on.

When push comes to shove if you can't handle the way your jeans smell its time to wash them.

i noticed the same thing

[Goominim]

I'm not sure if I remembered right, but someone put his jeans in the freezer to kill the stench. not sure if it worked, though

[saintkeat]

the freezer is not a long term solution. I'd say it works for about 5-6 hours.

[Goominim]

you can turn it inside out and let the sun kill the funk or hand wash in cold water…or dry clean…

Guy's jeans are fucking ugly to begin with. Love how he doesn't have a clue why he's doing what he's doing, he's just going along with what a sales person and a stranger told him to do.

Soap and water is what cleans jeans, no getting around it.

[ranonranonarat]

if you cant even stand how your own jeans smell, it really is time to love everyone you a little more by washing them.

[rnrswitch]

I gotta say, I hold out from washing as long as possible. i like my jeans dark. But if jeans are stinky ya gotta wash em. If I worked in a nasty environment I would wash more frequently, but fortunately I work in an office environment so i can go long stretches without a wash.

[izyazuya]

thanks mannn

fyi it's almost 3 years old with frequent washes (once a month/ 2 months)

[Bona Drag]

i just wash as needed now, but ime febreeze does work if you use the antimicrobial one (orange cap)

[cuddlestheshee]

just got my TTS 30" Imp Dukes back from the tailor. They had mad holes from never being hemmed and getting caught under my vans.

Got them hemmed to a 34" inseam and tapered from about the knee 1" to a 7" opening. love em, now they are finally wearable again!

and the current rotation. really wanting to get some iron heart 666 od's . dunno if i'll pull the trigger though.

They will be replaced on my rotation with the IH 666OD.

[An Oxymoron]

He's spouting bullshit, but his voice is so calming I can't look away. This is some Bob Ross level shit.

Fake edit: Nudie jacket looks great. Hell, everything on the last several pages does.

from warehouse thread

a while ago

now at 1.5 years

[rnrswitch]

Did you do the painting or did warehouse. Either way I kinda like it for a change. Jeans look great as well.

[HoustonChris]

Agreed. Usually I don't go for that Levis trademark infringing look, but something about that pair is very cool.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Evisu-style painted Samurai arcs and Momotaro Battle Stripes on a pair of Warehouse Very Frankenstein but it looks nice when worn in
