FTFY.

i have a pair of APC rescues, if i want to avoid heavy contrast fading, should i wash the jeans more often or less?

it was touched on briefly earlier in the thread but i just wanted a clarification.

btw someone just posted some RRL jeans in the B&S.

So I bought these yesterday with the help of our erstwhile counselor. I think they'll end up being very good. Thoughts?

Teger, how do I care for my RRL's? Wash them? Don't wash them?

The crotch area looks a little weird Matt, maybe that's just your stance though.

It's his stance and the newness of the jean. Raw denim favors a 'wide stance' though.

Just wear the RRLs. Wash them when you want.

I could tell those were 5ep from the green tone and the non-contrast crotch fly stitching. Are those the straight or the boot? Either, 5ep is awesome. Probably my favorite jeans ever.

Straight. I really wish I bought the SF version as well.

So I don't need to never watch them like APC's?

Yeah, I'm glad I got two pairs when they were still out.
