never wash your jeans. all the dirt paint blood and whatever else on your jeans tells a story.

well. wash them if there is something immensly gross. but does anyone agree on not washing your jeans and leting your jeans tell a story

In the same vein, I also think you should never wipe your ass. All the accumulated detritus tells a story.

Update of my new project, Edwin 505SXR. 3 months, 2 washes later:

They say that they're unsanforized, but I see a big twist in the left leg, which I really like. The baggy vintage fit took a little getting used to, but I couldn't resist the fabric. It's so thick and the color is super deep. I can't wait for coldrice to get back so I can order some SC47s!

Some other pics of my old project, ED 47, 6 months and 4or 5 washes later:

What I discovered: greycast jeans break in real nice after like 2 months. I'm thinking that they won't look as nice in the long run, though... I'll bet that premium denim companies that want their raw denim to look nice in a short period of time will only dip them the same amount of times as a greycast jean.

Pre soak.

6 months, 1st soak.

I soaked these in the gulf of thailand a few weeks ago.....it was pouring rain and the air was so humid that these never properly dried and they ended up smelling like fucking shit....but yeah, to all those who question the APC's salt water rinse and its lose of indigo, here's proof, you'll lose close to none..All the people at my bungalow operation were like, what the fuck is this kid doing swimming in the ocean with his jeans on?

I ended up just washing them when i got back to the states, the honeycombs ended up being a bit too starched and probably won't do that again....i'm looking for a more natural fade....here are the soak pics..the wash pics will be up in a bit.

1st soak pics

After hot wash and hang dry. the honeycombs seem so fake because i starched them so much in the first few months....so...from now on, starch is no longer on the recipe for any of my projects.

Hah, I just did that not too long ago...I rocked the smelly jeans for a few days and eventually the smell went away.

[doctorgnar]

Here are some pics of my APC Hipsters. I've had them for about a year and washed them once.

Enjoy:

Those hipsters are sick.

[red]

damn. nice jeans everyone.

[johnnay]

wow...all the jeans in the past couple of pages are turning out great.

ive been wearing my STFs since november. didnt really do much for a while...just went to school and bummed aroudn at home. i dont think my jeans will turn out nice. im gonna start playing ultimate frisbee in them. too bad id be playing by myself.

[__3xL]

That's kind of sad johnnay . I'm no softie but that comment about frisbee and you alone kind of fucked me up man ..

Hey how old are you dude ?

Do you like riding mountain bikes ? Ride one every chance you get while wearing the jeans you will be breaking in ! Tighten your belt up so they sit how you want them to ( unless theyre already skin tight ) and ride ride ride !!

Also if you have STF - did you pre-soak them before putting them ?

Did you put them on after the soak while still damp ?

[TragicBliss]

Doctorgnar, those Hipsters are beautiful. Good looks.

Thanks, Tragic. I made my bed just for this little shoot. I live in a loft in an old factory building in Bushwick, Brooklyn.

It was a raw space when I moved in and part of what got my jeans worn so nicely was building walls to convert the loft into a 3 bedroom.

[johnnay]

that whole comment about me playing frisbee by myself was a joke. iforgot you cant really sense these things over the internet.

[__3xL]

where at? i just looked at a place off the halsey stop. cheap but the whole building was a huge fire hazard and yes maybe when i was 21 i wouldn't have cared but when you're 30 you start thinking about that shit.

[doctorgnar]

I live off the Jefferson stop. We put a lot of work into it and it's a lot of space, but it's no palace. For my first place out of college, at 23 years old, it's sort of perfect.

Thanks.

It's funny, I'm like proud of them or some shit. They're just my pants. I've just worn them so much, to work, and out skating and to shows or whatever--never really thought so much of them, until a year later and suddenly they are totally fucking rad.

My LVC 47s after a warm water soak. Pre-soak pictures on page 10 of this thread for comparison.
