Wearing in Selvage

[nairb49]

Just out of curiosity, how many people actually wear their selvage to bed?

also, any out of the ordinary ways to speed up the wear process?

(besides squatting, rubbing, wearing)

i wear my nudies to bed

mostly because i'm drunk and don't feel like exerting the effort to take them off before passing out

You've got nothing but hatred!

I dry hump the footpath outside my flat.

I'll post pictures when i'm out of hospital.

I hope that itch isn't what i think it is...

... could someone take a photo of me like this

I rub my dry selvage denim up against the SEARCH function.

I find it helps so so much.

Selvedge isnt synonymous with dry denim. Jeez.

[johninger]

it virtually is dnnsmanace

i think the majority of the selvage worth buying is either raw or one wash...

I've got Rag & Bone RB8s, selvage... but I don't think they are one wash, maybe 2 wash? I'm not sure...... does that technically make them non-dry denim?

Should I still treat them like dry denim in terms of how long I wear them before wash, etc, etc.

this whole thing about not washing is funny.

Nudie pushes it as there denim is not so nice. Few dips and has sulphur dye as well.

It is necessary for nudie APC etc, to achieve very high contrast, ie the folds very pronounced.

But when you have superdark indigo, then the fading will take longer and washing doesn't prove a problem at all.

I always use the example of this old man i saw once, his levis were spectacular fade, and i'm sure he bought them rinse wash and his wife would have washed them every week of his life.

So just wear them i think, don't wash them a heap but then don't go off and grow a fungus farm like some of the guys on this board.
