      Im giving them another freezer night.. My plan was to wait 2 or 3 months so if anything i'll wait to 2 months and then they are gonna get most likely a soak with a tad detergent but no agitation.  That should help prevent any damage to the denim as well as helping with any smell they might have.  Once thats done ima start washing them every 2 weeks or so

        Just FYI: placing them in the freezer does nothing concerning bacteria/ smell issues…

          yea maybe true but it atleast gives me something to look forward to in the morning.  It was like finding $500 in the freezer

            I like to soak mine in a red wine jus and let them marinade in the fridge overnight.

              Nothing beats washing them whenever you want, and DDD, freezer after a month? There still fresh in a month. Ha. Only reason I wash mine is I work in them at present time, and they literally get dirt all over them, and I don't mean sweat

                I say go for the wash.  Whenever I feel like my jeans need a wash I just throw em in the machine with some Dr.  Bronners.  Usually ends up being every month or so…

                On topic.  It would seem SE is out of my size online.  Not being motivated enough to call in = temptation removed.  For now...

                  Its not that they stink from sweat or anything they actually smell fine..I probably got the thought to freeze my jeans just so I can experience just about everything with them whether useless or not.    I  mean I may look back at all my worries and silly things I did in my denim and laugh.. eventually telling the next newbie what u are telling me…This is my trial an error stage as i am still feeling around & figuring out my own path to glory.

                    Actually, a norwegian biologist just said that somewhere between 50-70 % of the bacteria found in denim does not live trough -18, so if you have a proper freezer, most of the bacteria will die, and that will in turn reduce smell issues too.

                    Seize the day and don't you cry.

                          +1 victim for the sizing of these.  I thought sizing down to a 31 would be enough but no can do.  Sent back to Self Edge in exchange for a 30, so if any of you have been looking for a 31 it should be in stock again soon.

                              Well got the 30's in today.  Now we've gone from way too loose to Momotaro level tight.  Anyone experienced much stretch with these?

                                Yep. All over. Took like a month to really stretch well. I could barely walk the first week.

                                  Thank God.  In the tub they go for a residual indigo soak and I'll get fit pics up once I get them hemmed and worn a few times.

                                    I would not soak them they will not stay as soft, but that's just me

                                      Yeah, I know soaking sanforized denim isn't the most popular thing to do but I find it really helps with the bleeding and any potential shrinking that remains in the fabric.

                                        Yea, I agree. Was just saying because these seemed to get esspessially rough after they got wet. But I've washed mine twice and there pretty soft. Well relatively

                                        By the way, if I hadnt said it before…

                                        These things are insanely amazing.

                                          I hope so!  I bought them because of the pictures you posted.  No joke.
