        Next wash I plan on:

        • inside out
        • coldwash
        • delicate setting
        • 400 rpm (AND I'M COUNTING THEM!..)
        • Ecovert washing liquid for delicate clothes ( my delicate 25 oz flower…)

        Will take longer to dry, but who cares...

          I've washed my 21oz Samurai and my 18oz Busters monthly, and in the machine with VERY different results. Denim is an organic fabric, so trying to predict what effect a wash will have on it is like trying to predict how the tide effects the coastline…it varies.

            Holy shit man, that's pretty deep and poetic.

                  hmph…I just toss them into the machine...usually normal 40°C cycle, sometimes might do even 60°C. Spin at highest 😉

                  No special laundry detergent, (Bonners ain't available here I think) also there is or isn't softener or whatever that is called...

                  No creases...They are just jeans

                  Pretty sure cowboys in 1875 didn't wash there jeans much. They are just jeans though. 🙂 🙂 🙂

                    I doubt those cowboys smelt all that good either though.

                        Well yeah true enough, Jack, but I want to wear these jeans as long as possible… A wash on a delicate cycle'll still get them clean, and is better for them... A 60C° wash at 1400 fucking RPM isn't my idea of taking care of my clothes at all...

                        We'll have to agree to disagree here  🙂 I do NOT wear smelly clothes though... But as Doug said: the owner of smelly clothes is most likely not aware of it... I'll ask a collegue soon  😉

                          if you get them clean, that's only thing that matters…and I truly believe that spinning them over 1000 rpms won't do no harm.

                          wash 'em and wear 'em...

                            Volcano, does that monthly washing mean no combs set in?

                            well maybe i wasn't specific enough but i wore mine for about 5-6 months after initial soak before the first wash. aftermath i just wash them when i feel they are dirty (after approx 25 wears).

                            and no, my combs have settled because of the initial 5-6 months period. maybe its not so striking and pronounced like others but i honestly can't stand not washing my jeans since i sit practically anywhere i like. from floors to side of the road and etc. furthermore we perspire so its basic hygiene imho. so yeah, they will go into the washing machine as often as they need to. 🙂

                                  If you hand wash the first few times it doesn't mess up your creases. That way you can wash as often as you like.

                                    I washed once while wearing them that kept them just the same creases

                                        nerkg- here's a pic of my combs mate. these were worn just 1 day after washing. there's no high contrasting fade as my jeans aren't really worn hard and i only owned them since 21st february this year and though i wish to wear them everyday straight for the past 8 months, i couldn't. 😞

                                        by the way, taken with flash cos its night here and my living room haven't got good lighting.
