Care For Your (Denim/ Wool/ Cotton)

A bunch of little Care tidbits on P&B: http://www.parkandbond.com/the-intersection/how-to

THanks for the link Lando…yes washed inside out but I think the stiffness during the drying process caused the crease to get set and rub against the inside of the machine... Had to do it since I wanted a lot of shrinkage. Oh wells still ok till they really start to fade.

Even pre-shrunk tees will shrink a little bit over time and multiple wash/dry/wear cycles, it's just the way tree shirts are.

This afternoon, I took most of jeans to the beach and dumped them in the ocean for a good soak. Here are some pix and a video. The water was freaking cold, but after a while I did not feel any pain and actually had a great time in the water.
The almighty 634SR that Haraki overdyed for me
634XHS vs Samurai 24oz (no contest, but nice pic!)
Not sure what these are, but I like the sand on denim texture
Another shot of the OD'd SR's
Nice patch, nice pants, great light, what more does one want from life?
and the video will be ready in 29 minutes, so I'll post it in a separate post

Hey Mr. Administrator,
this post wasnt a "care for your denim" post but rather a "denim poetry / art / lifestyle" post!
I almost would be pretentious enough to call it a denim haiku post…

Would you rather it here: http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=179.0 ? Either way, there is a thread for this. Otherwise title your thread poetry and denim soaking or something. Not every post needs a new thread. Great photos though!

And heeeere is the video

no Lando, I'm cool
thanks for the administration job, by the way -
damn mate…how many
pairsbitches you were soaking?
great video sir!…about 10 and my IH27 shirt, which I LOVE.
There is a number (too many in fact) that I dont wear because I spend most of my time in the 634XHS and when I dont wear this one, I wear the 24oz dark blue PBJ's. I used to wear the SR's but these have been relegated to the bottom of the pile of active pants.
Those I do not wear at all are the light weight pants (the Evisu x Sugarcane or the lightweight PBJ's) and the 634S's. I wish there were more legs or I could change during the day because I love those S's and even the light PBJ's (incredible texture and color, I'd love a slubby IH model one of these days)… Also, I've gained a size and some since 2010 and some of my 31's are too tight. Maybe this Summer when the heavy heavy ones are too hot... and when I've regained some thinness...

just wondering do you guys do anything to the leather patch? oil it or leave it? what oil? mink oil? some how after soaking the 666S, the leather patch feels so stiff and rough now. compared it with my 634S, totally different.
is it because the patch was soaked in hot water so it's dry? then we gotta oil it and all?
sorry if this was asked before or it sound stupid to any of you. I never had issues with levis jeans cos they weren't leather. hope you guys can understand.
