When to wash my Super Rifle jeans?

Ok, first post! Well, I bought a pair of Super Rifle Cabin Raw Denim jeans from Overstock.com. They were a good price so I thought why not? And I love Italian things. These are my very first pair of raw denim jeans. And also, these are not selvege are they?

Ok, I've been wearing them for 3 months now and so far I haven't washed them. They are starting to fade up top by the pockets, rear pockets around the wallet, etc. However, in the past 2 weeks or so, they seem to have been stretching out a little more than usual. The waist, which used to fit me, is now bigger and they fall down a bit if I'm not wearing a belt. And, I don't think the crinkling effect on the back of the knees isn't quite so crisp as it used to be.

So, is it time to wash them? Or should I wait another 3 months? What do you guys think? Thanks.
