This isn't superfuture. Wash your jeans, they are meant to be worn and wash. If you have money to buy a pair $250 of jeans, you should have money to buy more. If you didn't have the money to buy a $250 pair of jean and bought it instead of a levis stf, now cherishing it like a piece of gold, you have priority problems.

That's odd. My three pairs of $200 AG Jeans look better after the 52 cold water gentle cycle inside out washings they got after wearing them every week for the past year. Guess I just got some lucky ******* pairs. Oh well, when they look like **** I'll just buy three more...or four, or five...

i'm no expert on miners in the 1880's but i have a feeling they didn't bathe as much as us, and their clothes were much dirtier and much smellier than ours before they washed them. also i dont think anyone in this thread claimed they wanted to look like a miner from the 1880's.
