Acne unwashed 1st day

[coolhunter]

**UPDATE**

Here they are, 6 month later, moderate wear, no wash and no bad smelling.

Another 6 months will do them good. They are not ready just yet.

I've had my max's about 6 months also. I've had a lot of problems with them, but the tailor took care of them. First all of the rivets on the backpackets broke off making the pockets hang, but I just sewed them back. Then the zipper broke so I had them sew a new one in. They really started to fade recently and are starting to look good

IME, Acne's are rather poor quality for their stateside price (~$250+). At the Swedish price, they are decent value. And I can't figure out whether they are blowing up faster than Nudie or not - every "hipster" I know has or is thinking of picking up a pair. Personally, I say that if you are a big fan of the Wrangler coin pocket, get yourself a pair of 5EPs. Much better quality, and the 5EP Straight and Acne MAX are not disimilar in cut (although the 5EP straight is wider in the thighs and butt.)

Nice topic bump dude. Jeans are looking good. After 6 months I think they would have even more wear though? Do you not keep a wallet in your pocket?

Your right, they dont got all that much wear. I think there are several reasons, they dont bleed very much, which I kinda like...that makes the

wearmarks more pronounced and less blurry.

Plus the fact that I havent worn them that hard, maybe an average of 3 times a week while doing ordinary stuff. And they are quite thin and soft..I do use starch but after a couple of hours of wear they go back to normal.

I dont even know If im going to wash them...ever. It helps when you dont count the hours youve worn them, if it wasnt for my old post I wouldnt have remebered when I got them and the fact they dont stink, feel dirty/sweaty and looks awesome, a dark rich blue/black shiny color.

la guy,

i've seen in every thread that acne jeans' have been mentioned, you've said that they are not worth the money, poor quality, etc. can you please elaborate? i've been interested in a pair for a while, but haven't actually tried them on....so i'd be interested in what you have to say.

from the pictures, they look nice, holds dye, good cut. but like i said, i've never touched the denim in person.

Coolhunter, is there another pair of jeans that you're working on, or is it just that you rotate the stuff you wear frequently? But the acnes look decent, keep going another 6 months! the lack of smell is probably a very good thing.

[coolhunter]

Yea, I wear different stuff everyday. But these are the only raw im wearing right now.

as for the 6 months extra, I will wear them until:

a, I spill something on them that ruins them.

b, I get rashes from the mold.

c, they get tired of ME.

..prob all of them in that order.

[tweeds]

You make your jeans sound almost like a petulant kid.

Mold.............?

I'm like the Afrocentric Asian, half-man, half-amazin'

[coolhunter]

yes, mold.

If you wear your jeans alot and in hard conditions you can start growing mold on them. Its all the sweat, dirt, bacteria and other nasty stuff that they collect. Add a warm summer and you got yourself a pair of radioactive pants.

It did happend to Örjan Andersson, the man behind cheap monday, when he wore his jeans for a year or so while redoing his office and other hard labour. He had to visit a doctor because he got serious rashes all over his legs from all the dirt on his jeans.

I would guess the doctor ordered him to wash them

For me, it would take nothing short of an presidential order

[darkanimal]

It's been a month since I've been wearing these...I can't seem to make any dent whatsover. They still look like new. Maybe I should rollover in the concrete with these.

I'm looking forward to seeing the acne line, we picked them up for the fall of this year.

Cheers,

Mold?... Jesus. Have you sprayed any antibacterial like Febreeze on it to help that?

[khaltire]

Hey, just found this thread.. looks good.. Can you post a pic of the fit, and your build?. Im curious to see how these would fit on a skinny guy (not really a fan of tight jeans, esp on skinny people)

[sbbbjm]

if anyone has Acne Mic's or Max's, could you please measure them using the BiG method?

i'm looking into buying a pair but i can't decide on what fit i want

[Ashez]

they look very good coolhunter, thinking of buying a pair myself now ;D

Did you buy them in stockholm? where in that case =D

[homme.homme]

I NEED AN ONLINE STOCKIST FOR THESE JEANS!!!

ACNE jeans are $400+ in Australia and I have only ever seen them in one menswear store in Sydney.
