      imo those "stains" aren`t that bad…or to say it like Paula:

      "wear and don`t compare"... 😉

        I might try soaking them in the tub and maybe the "color" will even out. They are a little big anyways

              ^^^^ I agree.  The colour will not even out just by soaking them.  If they are no worse that the photos, I'd just wear them…..

                  I'm gonna wear them regardless. I love these jeans, varicose veins and all!

                      True, never thought about it that way. I'll just get them really nasty and then refuse to wash them. That'll show her haha!

                        maybe we should have moved this to the 634 thread, no? 🙂

                        EDIT by LandoCal126: Merged this discussion into "Care for your Denim".

                                I wash mine in the machine (inside out) then air dry them. I probably wash them more than most, but less often than other trousers. Never any issues and over the year I've had them and no machine caused problems, with the exception of where I'd already busted the hem front and back, and machine washing made it worse. Giles and the Union Special came to the rescue this week though, and they're now as good as new.

                                  More of a "Care For Your Wool" question, but this thread needs a bump anyways. Who has recommendations/ preferences for a electric Pilling/ fabric Shaver? Thanks

                                    at least those we have here, cheap chinese ones which cost like 2€, do their job for some time, but overall I think they are useless crap.

                                      Lando, i think they all suck.  i have a little metal comb with really fine teeth for the purpose of piling & all that.

                                      will take a picture of it tonight.

                                          use it to just comb away the pilling
