      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. 🙂

      Can we see pictures of these?

      pics of my jeans? its can be found in the 666S thread. but i didn't take any new pictures of my combs. will try to do so tomorrow.

        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.

          haha come on guys… they're just a pair of jeans... take g's 25oz 634s, he's washed them countless times and they still look sick as hell. plus these jeans are so thick.. throwing them in the washer doesn't do shit to the creases.. they still come out creased like how they were when I put them in.. only without all the sweat and grime

              It's not gonna hurt them by any means, it just depends how you want them to look, washing machine def changes the look of them. Different strokes.

                They will still look awesome after some time, and I really follow to that theory because I have a strong belief that jeans are supposed to smell good.

                  doesn't matter for the different strokes man, aren't jeans supposed to reflect on you? so there is no right or wrong in doing it. haha might piss some people off that people wash their jeans every week… but hey, if they like their jeans light blue with no whiskers or combs... that's them. haha lol the endless debate on denim...

                  true that.. especially in our climate, being 5 minutes outdoors you just sweat a bucket, your jeans become damp and … well ... not very appealing to ....... anyone. not only is it damp and disgusting to you, it's worst for the new people you meet..

                      Hand wash all the way for me.  It's easy.  Maybe takes 15 min to soak and 10 minutes with soap and wash cloth.  This way, I'm in control and there's no problem.

                        I have mine restored at the Metropolitan Meseum of Art once a month.  Then I have a shaman priest sacrifice a goat to reset the combs.  Works for me.

                              What I do is, if it start to smell stinky,  I just rotate to other jeans. The smell stinky jeans I just air dry.  If it too dirty and smell stinky then I will wash it.

                                  Drying in hot weather  for at least 4-5 hours with the  temp 28-31 deg Celsius  really puts off the smell away.

                                    simple as that!…even if it means every 2-3 days or every week and so on!

                                    isn't that right Injun? 😉

                                          Been doing this for 6 years, never machine washed a pair of jeans. Hand wash @ last resort. whatever works for you tho 🙂

                                            Right Finn

                                            You guys are totally crazy. 😉

                                            Jeans are clothes and when clothes get dirty you wash them, right? When you sweat in your white T-shirt, do you just airdry it and put it on again??? It'll soon be yellow shirt…same goes for jeans.

                                            And keep in mind that dirt (whatever that is) is abrasive...it "eats" your jeans  + on worst case scenario, you end up with brownish staining on your jeans which will never come off....It will be revealed when there is enough indigo loss.

                                            But hey, they're you're jeans, do whatever you want to. Wash or no wash. Just remember that when you (your jeans)stink like asswipe and chicks run away from you, don't say you weren't warned.
