Cleaning Raw Denim Early

[robbie]

I am still confused as to how your beagle puked on your jeans?

I hope you are hanging your jeans up, or throwing them over the back of a chair, or something to keep them off the floor where your dog can puke on them.

Don't wash them. The dog vomit adds character.

Once again, I already washed them. The dog was sick yesterday, and threw up while he was sitting in my lap. At the time, I was wearing my raw jeans.

Again, they are clean, just wanted to know about the effects of jeans.

Dog vomit stains = next level

just make sure to spread the dog vomit around on the jeans so they get an even color

if you wear them hard it won't make a difference if you wash them "early" or not
the main factor when it comes to signs of wear is wearing (frequency x intensity)

^^ +1

And super high contrast fades are pretty overrated imo, theres nothing wrong with a more even vintage style fading...

i love old man fades
and you know they aren't keeping track of washes
and you also know they aren't wearing $200 jeans
and you also can count on the fact that they may or may not even be selvage
they may not have started out raw even

it is just about wearing them hard for a long time
(insert erection joke)

^^totally agree. I keep finding jeans with the greatest old man levis style fades at local thrift stores, the only thing is that they arent Levis, they´re Dressman, the number one old man /dad style store here. Id buy them if my girlfriend wouldt think my dad style steez was going over board...

Always on the lookout for old man faded levis though, only trouble is that 505s are too slim, and makes me look like a skinhead.

I think my Lee /edwin´s will get rather frequent washes, Im a bit tired of darkdark denim.

there's this old man i always see in the early mornings as i walk to the train station
he wears this green barbour and these blue jeans with a SICK lap fade (probably JC Pennies OE jawns) as he walks his bloodhound
he's probably 74 years old (the man)
i want to take a sartorialist style photo but i fear he may think i am cruising for geezers

dont take that **** from the dog. Vomit back on him and show him who's boss.

A guy came into target a few months back and he had amazing fades on a pair of yellow tab Rustlers he paid maybe 6$ for in the 80's. He was probably in his 70's. He was rocking a straw cowboy type hat suspenders,a baggy baggy chambray and penny loafers. I asked him how he was doing to which he replied something like "I'd be alright if I could get the wifey out of here for less than 100$" and just started cackling. So much old guy steez. I am pretty sure my boss now thinks I am gay as I couldn't help but stare at the guys jeans. I used to rock a pair of drop crotch Levi's 'with a skosh more room'... I'd like to find a deadstock pair someday and wear the hell out of them.
