          ive been wearing my dc4002 since mid august nights and weekends, no wash no soak, they are just now getting a bit softer and the start of a good sheen to them, i plan on no washes or soaks for 2 years minimum, i always wash my shit to soon, these im going the oppisite direction, by the way i have owned 6 pairs of ironhearts in different cuts and these are the best jeans in every way ive ever owned, i look foward to get home from work to put them on and offen sleep in them to break them

                  Also: I would advice you to wash them, or at least soak them, to soften them up. Otherwise the rigidness of the fabric triggers an auto-destruct process…

                    ^seul is absolutley right with his opinion….the fabric needs water sometimes ....a soak is the best way!

                            I think this experiment is gonna end in a fungal infection and/or crotch-rot.

                            Sleeping in jeans seems uncomfortable aside from anything else and hardly worth the effort given how little you'll be moving around in bed. I'd rather sleep in my Calvin Klein pyjamas and then have the energy for a 12 mile hike in my IHs the next day!

                              I sleep in jeans almost every night.  Not the same pants I wear during the day. I guess that is kind of strange, but whatever. Anyway, while I do agree that washing your pants is a good idea once in a while, I can say that I haven't experienced crotch rot or any fungus yet. My pants are not 25oz though so your results may vary. Good luck

                                I think most on the IH forum are strictly IH maniacs and not denim heads.  It sounds like Mexico has been reading some of the other forums where not washing is a norm and in fact u get ripped if u say u wash ur jeans frequent.  Before I found this forum I thought 1 to 2 years was what u were supposed to do from reading thru the nudie community.

                                  Two years without a wash = not the best idea. But what do I care/ know, right?..

                                  Denimhead ànd IH freak out…

                                    just ask ruedi (swissjeansfreak) about this…he NEVER washes his pairs...they look great, but also pretty dirty and thorn in some places...i think he could have prevented the rips if he´d have washed´em earlier, but in the end, it´s gonna happen anyway imo...no matter if washed or not!

                                      It's just gonna take a lot longer if you wash or soak them now and then (and I am only talking about the 25 oz. denim)… But what the hey: they're only 500 bucks right?..

                                          imho washing/soaking is an individual ritual and personal lifestyle. it has nothing to do if IH maniac, denimhead or whatever. Just do what you wanna do imho, its your jeans 😉 and listen to your inner voice, thats all what counts :). my personal opinion. I do not follow trends how to treat my trousers. peace 🙂

                                          Cheers,
                                          David
