      @long_john86 I have not washed these at all, but I spot clean and remove any stains, dust, dirt etc. with water and spot cleaning and I use a RW boot brush to brush away dirt and whatever else gets on them. I work as a teacher so my jeans cannot look dirty if I wear them 3-4 days a week. Interestingly, my buddy @olblue has a pair of XHS that are nearly as old and his remain dusty as he does not need to appear as clean at work. I posted a photo of us in WAYWT yesterday and we are both wearing them.

          @long_john86 yeah I typically do not get a lot of junk on my pants knocks on wood and when I do, I spot clean as soon as I can. I am trying to get to the proverbial 180 days before a machine wash but I'm struggling at day 138....42 to go I guess that doesn't seem like much. I just want to get to day 180 at least one time just to say I have and see if the hype is worth the 6 month wait that some folks swear by. I will say that if you are not diligent with keeping them manually spotless, the filthy feeling of the jeans does not seem worth it to wait this long.

              @bluemantra yup, that's basically what I use. I actually use two brushes, one was made for beards but it is too coarse for my face. I use the "beard" brush if there are clumps of dried mud or something, then the finer boot brush to remove dust.

                sorry if I interfere in the discussion (maybe I also misunderstood due to my terrible English), if it can be useful for cleaning stubborn stains and unpleasant odors, this Thai guy (I think he is from the Piger Works staff) has launched a few time its denim care products. I'll post the link IG maybe you already know it.

                      this kids been picking up a weightlifting habit and eating insane amounts. The IH that I've lent him already doesn't fit since he prefers looser stuff. He may get back into raws once he stops growing so fast lol

                        Officially the #1 rainbow I’ve ever seen. Bonus shot of the building it was burning through.

                                    What exactly was the thought process on that portrait? 🤣

                                    Speaking of rainbows, here’s one that hit Telluride right after Hatfield brought in some rain at Ridefest several years back @Mizmazzle
