Apc. Or uniqlo for stretch. preferably worn already. run through your washing machine 3 times with bleach (make sure whole jean is submerged). If needed, soak in washing machine (add bleach) for 10-15 mins again, rewash. Wash/soak several more times to get the bleach out.

Result:

Not disgusting/white enough. I saw the ones you did over at Harajuju. That looked pretty boss. That fit pic looks decidedly... normal... for you, Synthy. I know you wear things other than gold-leaf oxfords and drop-crotch pants, but I dunno, by contrast this looks so safe! I don't know **** about jeans. Maybe I can just wear cropped chinos and maternity wear to paint in. Jasper Johns steez

Ah! Then instead you leave the jeans in a bucket of bleachy hot water for 2-3 days, making sure that they're NOT fully submerged, changing the water every day.

And yes, a lot of the time I'm in jeans and boots and a t-shirt, but that's not really worth posting about.

I think you ought to paint barefoot in rolled lanvin tux pants and a sleeveless button down with a black silk cravat.

Wow, jeans in bucket method sounds sexy. I wonder what happens if you throw some assorted garbage in there, too. Like raku pottery style.
(Uh oh, am I channeling Ernesto Jeans Atelier or whatever?)

I like the ensemble you suggested. Is that some Basquiat thing? Regardless, sleeveless or no, the button down should be unbuttoned to the navel.

I know that Francis Bacon painted in a leather jacket sometimes.

It's too bad there aren't any designer smocks...

Edit: the threads where people are posing in jeans from every imaginable angle are so ******* weird to me.

So not to

, but I never had looked through the MC does SW&D with deliberate slowness until now, savoring every detail. So indulge me here.

It seems like they all interpreted the challenge to mean "Casual Friday." What happened there? What on earth is this?

Jeans jacket UNDER a coat? With a TIE? Is it possible that this was some epic level trolling? The sincerity seems so... sincere.

I leave you with this (interesting to note that the skintone of his legs does not match his face btw... looks like he shaved and tanned them. That's pretty SWD, actually.):

Snowboard brands should have them to your heart's desire. Or, get these

New Balance sneakers

whatup with those. personally i think they're ugly as ****, and i associate them with what seniors wear when they need walking shoes. i don't see how they're at all stylish, but they always apparently people buy them since they keep releasing new editions and highsnobiety and hypebeast always cover these new editions.

do any of you guys actually like/wear these?

But this still returns me to square one: what jeans


i bleached some old jeans and wanted white with spatters of blue. unfortunately i forgot i left them in the bucket for several hours. upon my return i found them riddled with holes and disintegrated seams.

Pretty sure softy is going to be angry with you for the bolded words.

I don't mind them (or own them), but I prefer KangaRoo combats if we're going to be playing "7th Grade (Reprise)"
