Dry Skinners : My first dry

[heartsandcrafts]

I got my first pair of dry denim, and from what I've gathered from the boards:

Wear them 6 months, ride bike in them, sleep in them(?)

After 6 months wash in cold water (detergent?) (dry them?)

What about dry cleaning? The jeans them self obviously say dry clean only. Will dry cleaning with in the 6 months affect the process?

Starching. The can on the starch says 'don't use on dry clean items'. Should I ignore this? How often should I starch? Should I iron them after starching as recommended by the can?

What else should I know/do?

Thanks.

i don't know that much, but i reckon you only spray starch in the creases [i.e, the honeycombs, behind the knee, and at the bottom of the leg]. or you can wash them everyday and patch as required.

pick you favourite style of fake aged jeans, work out the way they did it. but on your body, <center>CUSTOM </center>

sometimes a sander, and a nail and a sewing machine is cool, there is no one way to treat jeans, and that is the whole point, the individuality.

The starch is intented for dress shirts and the like, so don't follow the directions on it. Just spray the starch on the jeans, especially the areas that will develop fading and creases. Don't iron them. Dry cleaning does not count as washing them, for the "six month" period.

are skinners like a skinny fit levis?

[dmashita]

where did you get the dry skinners? and i assume these are not the 'Rigid Wash' ones.

RE: Thomas

Skinner is a cut of Levis that dont have a number code (IE 501). They are slim, medium waist, fitted in the fip, pretty much straight/slight boot

RE: dmashita

I got them at the Levi's boutique-ish store in Portland, I'm not sure exactly what the wash is named, but they were pretty obviously dry, and I asked the sales person to confirm that. What do you know about 'rigid wash'?

they don't feel like the lvc's to me. The fabric feels like 10x lighter on them. I was kind of dissapointed by them when I tried them on at the local levis store.

Oh Gawd!

yeah they fit real nice in the hip, they run pretty small for some reason, im usually 28 or 30, 6 or 7, and i got these in 32's. they were 110 i believe. the strummer cut is really nice too, just like the skinners without the boot.
