HAHAHA, the right method is to fold it, ziplock the denim then try to vaccuum the thing to get as much air out as possible, then toss them in the freezer for like a day or so, then take it out to leave it warm back to room temp (dont microwave them plz). This should work, tho I have no tried it myself.

LOL, you could use one of those FoodSaver things to get the air out if you want a vacuum in there.

I'm in the process of arranging to go up into space as a space tourist. Do you guys think if I clothespin my jeans outside the space station that it'll get rid of the stink?

I wash my RRL's after every wear and then put them in the dryer. Keeps them tight and avoids stretching.

Any recommendations on stains? I spilled some taco juice on my pants last night after a couple of dranks and I'm not certain on how I can get it out without removing all the indigo in that small spot below my crotch. I have some new Momotaro 0701s that are unwashed.
