wash the jeans

Hi i was just wondering how often do u guys wash ur jeans? and how do u wash them to prevent any of fading or other bad stuff, thank you!

never

Haven't you seen the guy from mynudies that didn't wash his flare glenns for 3+ years. Can someone dig up the sufu manstain thread? NEVER WASH YOUR JEANS unless you want the fades to dissapear.

lol watt? u guys are kidding right i mean what happens when it gets dirty

then i hit my pair with a broom. lolz.

not to stir the pot, especially since I am the least jean versed of the contributors, but there are a lot of people that recommend washing jeans to improve their quality. Some swear by it because it re-tightens the weaving of the jeans, which makes for a better fit and more true fades. It can also stiffen jeans up, which again helps the fade. Just do over-do it. Until you know what to do and how often to do it (and this can vary by brand), don't wash them.
*EDIT* That being said, I don't wash my jeans much, either. To answer your question, I tend to hot soak at 3 months, and do subsequent washes as needed.

This is so trollish, but the post history, while uninformed, does not seem to be a troll...

I'll change my mind if the next thing he posts is "lol fuhk nudie they fade too much at least my american eagles don't."

Uh... I'll be the dissenter here. I wash my jeans whenever I would feel uncomfortable in not washing them, although I do baby my current pair (5ep LDB) a bit so I can hold this off for 6-8 months for some sick contrast. I'm soon going to buy a beataround pair of ~$150 jeans that I can do the blue-in-green experiment on. Gordon washed a pair of samurais every 2 weeks with a tumble dry included and after 6 months still had contrast, combs and whiskers, and pretty sick general fading all around.

What the hell is that suppose to mean?

so that his jeans arent completely ruined? lol it was a joke

Ohhhhhhh I get it now.

...dude what the hell?

never wash them

I wash them when they get dirty just like any other pair of trousers. Denim shouldn't require special handling. That isn't why it was invented. Just relax and wear them and, for the sake of those around you, wash them when they start to stink.

Ummm...you don't read much of the streetwear forum, do you? BTW, I have a couple of pairs that haven't been washed in almost 2 years. I bought them when I started law school, and I'll wash them when I pass the bar exam.

Oh believe me I do but you don't have to believe everything you read. Congrats on your project. I'm sure they'll yield unbelievable results.
