one-wash fuzz is scaring me

[tepr]

So, all my jeans for the past long-a$$ time have been either raw or somehow treated so they don't have the one-wash fuzz.

Now i've got these fancy Skull one-wash which I like a lot for fit and look, except for the fuzz part. Has anyone used a Dfuzz-it or something to get rid of it? What else can I do besides wait 5 months for it to wear off?

Will it go away soon?! how do you one-wash dudez hang with this?

fuzz bringing this cat down

yes i did a search, but didn't find shiz so link me if this is an old topic.

don't be a sissy, fuzz is a part of the adventure.

however you could probably ask him to shave if it really bothers you.

I love me some fuzz...

[tepr]

this r serious fuzz

i find that when i worry about things like this, opening and closing a door 30 or 60 times helps; also, turning the lights off and on repeatedly may offer relief.

if that doesn't work, wash your hands for about 25 minutes. then smoke a cigarette. then sniff your fingers. then wash your hands for another 25 minutes. repeat as needed.

so are you guys the one-wash mafia keeping your smarmy ghetto secrets safe or the raw-dog royalty passing judgment from up on high?

give a brother a break; these black skulls didn't come in raw. what's the intel cochise?

[jefffromdc1]

my one wash sdas had some serious fuzz too.. mine went away in the high wear areas in like 2-3 weeks and entirely within like 6

[tangerine]

seriously have never been bothered by fuzz, can't understand what the problem is. maybe post a pic so we can see if your jeenz are defective

Its just something you have to live with...alll part of the game.

give me forty dollars and i will soak your jeans so well they wont have any fuzz. i promise.

[tepr]

thanks but i think i'll take my 40 and get a windemere fuzz&coffee grinder like gimmegime says.

even twenny for a connecticut richboy soak is too much

peace to jefffro!

If it bothers you so much why didn't you just buy the raw version?

[tepr]

you got black and raw? I'll fly back to SF for em. !!

[kiya]

Oh sorry.. didn't see your second post stating that they were black..

[skiniks]

yeah, jean fuzz is terrifying!

There is some japanese technique where they use a lighter/zippo to burn off the fuzz. Apparently there are some articles on the net about it.

But it kinda changes the colour of the denim slightly, so I wouldn't try it unless your desperate.

ayo Idk wtf exactly is fuzz yo talkin bout. but if my guess is right, try to get a a safety blade razor or like mach 6 and shave that motherfucker away.

this technique of using heat to burn the "nap" off of clothing is far from being japanese exclusive...

[thelion1856]

over time the fuzz should go away with extensive wear. my oni blues lost their fuzz in the thigh area when the fading started comming through. the only fuzz left is from the bottom of the knees down and thats just starting to slightly diminish.

edit: washing also helps.

[masuerte]

A friend of mine actually burned their fuzz off with a lighter.

lololololol.

I said japanese because they actually have a name for it. Something like "ke-yaki". I do realise its something thats been used for quite some time in other countries. Its involvement in denim is also with the oxidation that takes place, not just burning the fuzz...

Wochutalkinbout? I got fuz after soaking.

some jeans companies get rid of the fuzz by a process called singeing.

But don't worry about it, it will go away with a bit of wear.

[meader]

I TOTALLY love the fuzz. It's EXTREMELY cool.

Goose = tepr

I'm also dreading the fuzz but oh well it doesnt hurt anyway

Yes, singeing is usually done at the mill. You can replicate this easily by using one of those small butane torches. The ones usually used for caramelising the top of a creme brulee etc. It will be quicker than using a cigarette lighter and perhaps easier to get hold of than the flamethrower suggested earlier

Otherwise, post-mill, the hairs are usually removed by cellulase enzyme washing of the finished jeans. Not an option in this case

i love the fuzz... the levis red loops im wearing now are raw, but are fuzzy like a pair of one wash canes.

its one of those things... like twisted seams
