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.
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.

This is true, if you don't wear them for like a week, the smell disappears
haha that might be true! but it still isn't clean! usually when my jeans are really dirty.. my legs end up getting little zits or rashes. maybe i have sensitive skin…

I thought I would type down what I do since I just put my 666s to soak after a looonnngggg night at the bar. They had a nasty looking dirt spot, which wouldn't come off after light dabbing and a little rub with water and MIGHT have gotten some little puke dust on them
it didn't smell like it and didn't really look like it, but I still decided to just soak them. They've only had about a month of wear, which kind of sucks but hey, life happened If they have some nasty looking spots, big dirt spots, etc.. I'll flip them inside out and cold soak in some Dr. Bronner's (Peppermint ftw!). I'll do some light agitation, light hand rub on the spots that look nasty and soak for 45min to an hour. I'll then rinse with fresh cold water, flip them back to normal and air dry. I've done this in the past with my Samurai's after about 3-4 months of wear and they now seem to fade A LOT faster and also seem to break in faster as well. I'm hoping that's the case with the 666s as they seemed to be a little stubborn. Also, I guess it doesn't really matter how much wear they've had. If they're dirty looking but not that dirty looking, I'll just do this since it's not really a wash. I'm sure it won't do any harm in the fading/contrast process.
Now if my jeans have some throw up, chunks, shit, piss, whatever…I'm washing them in the washer. Woolite Dark, gentle cycle, warm/cold and call it a day. I honestly haven't done this yet, but when I have to, this is what I'll do!

Yeah, but those guys don't know anything about denim. What do real experts think? You know, anonymous dudes on the internet…

Great video and I love the "I wann be sedated" background music.

I had an accident with my new Beatle Busters this weekend. I managed to spill at lot of hand lotion on them. First I tried to wipe it off with a cloth, but the cloth turned blue so I was afraid I would wipe off a lot of the indigo as well. Off course I did not have time to post a question here on the forum about what I should do and the wait for replies. So I decided to take them in the shower and spray off the lotion, after that I gave them a 30 minutes soak in lukewarm water. Now they seem alright and smell faintly of oranges (the lotion was orange flavored).
I don't know if this was the right thing to do, or if I get some weird fading down the road. But there is nothing to do but wait and see. Originally I hadn't planned on soaking the jeans either, but there you go. Has anybody else here had similar experiences?

Yes, and that's when we turn our jeans inside out and toss them into a washing machine
