@nerkg:

I don't mind when people wash them alot, I just like mine to get that nice bio-sheen from hardly ever washing, then when you do wash the fade comes out. The prob with putting the 25oz. In the washer they get all messed up and creased in weird spots

well its all personal opinion. for me, i used to think that way. but IJ was right about the hygiene issue and now i wash my jeans almost monthly if i wear them often. probably like after 25 wears for that month and i'll chuck them into the washing machine and wash.

haven't tried handwash cos I'm too lazy to do that. i'll just turn them inside-out and throw them inside the washing machine at no spin, 44deg and pour some body wash liquid soap then go to sleep and the next day i'll take them out of the washing machine and hang them to dry. usually takes 1-2 days to dry. anyway the fades will eventually come with wear. so nothing to worry about.

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

As per Seul's astute suggestion, the two pages of discussion on cleaning have been moved to the appropriate thread.  Feel free to let the debate rage on over there.;)

my combs are settled because i wore them for 6 months before the first wash.

Great George!

Question, is there some dirt along the back in the calf area, or is that just some crazy fading?

[CLJ]

Beautiful wear on those George!

Yeah, before wash.
This sanforised  denim fades with incredible contrast, very different from that of 634S. The points of friction are almost white, while elsewhere it's still dark-indigo.

Have had them almost a year now but you are correct approx 3-4mons wear. Hot soaked once about 3weeks ago

[Guest]

Did they shrink

[pillowPANTS]

They did a bit. I didnt do any measurements(stupid, i know) but def felt a bit tighter. I did a really hot soak tho. Hottest tap water plus a huge pot of boiling water too. If u thought these bastards were stiff when new, pffffff they are ridiculous after a hang dry dude
