First Nudie Wash

[BOORADLEY]

alright i have been wearing my slim jim dry black nudies since about march and i think its time for their first wash. they are getting pretty baggy and loose and are no longer a slim fit so yeah i believe it is time for it. (they are also pretty dirty) now i want to get maximum shrikage on the very first wash as after that shrinkage will be minimal and i also want to try to keep some of the dry effects if possible. as to my understanding the hottest wash on the washing machine then intro the dryer or just hang dry? remember i want to shrink them as much as i can.

I would've taken a bath with my jeans..have you thought about that?

;-(~~

yes, hot water & dryer would do it. turn inside out to reduce loss of indigo if you want.

i read that putting them in the dryer can really fuck them up and make the jeans go fuzzy and the fading gets messed up. Perhaps i will just wash them in really hot water in my machine and lay flat to dry?

hang dry them. If you can't hang them, lay them flat.

If I were you, I would wash them in a sink with mild detergent in hot water, rinse, don't ring, and hang dry. Then wear them some more. Washing them in the washing machine may make you lose the dark (black) indgo in the depths of the creases.

but will this achieve any shrinkage? remember im going for maximum shrinkage
