I was there to witness that…wasnt pretty and i knew with Phil Hughes pitching the turn out would be bad.

Being an Orioles fan takes just as much work as breaking in XHS.  The biggest difference is that by the end of the season you'll have totally devastated Mad Max Thunderdome jeans and I'll have my attentions turned to football.

I am a Jet fan so u will be sure to poke fun then as well

[Matt]

Oh yeah, you're screwed.  Luckily there's an NFL thread in General Chat, I'll see you there in August.

[Matt]

By then your Devils will look like The Incredible Hulk's pants.

Nice. You know what I'd do now if I were you ? (and please feel free to completely ignore me because it's all a personal choice).

When my jeans reach that stage of wear I give them a brief soak, or maybe just wear them into the shower. Not a full wash, just enough to open up the fibres and make them a little hairier on the surface when they dry. It takes a day or two to "wear them in" again, but in my experience they just get even more awesome after this.

[Dirty Denim]

In ur experience what makes you say "ok these need a soak" Because i dont know how to judge if and when to do anything

[RocknRoll]

Big question! There's no right or wrong in this game.

For me, it's when they have started showing decent fading and colour loss, like yours are. I also tend to find around this time that the surface has become kind of matted down with dirt and whatever else, almost shiny in places. The soak helps free up the fibres and as a result the fading is often faster afterwards.

But don't do anything because of what I say (or anyone else for that matter)…everyone has their own way! Keep enjoying the adventure, and if you feel like washing or soaking them some time, do it.
