Care For Your (Denim/ Wool/ Cotton)
-
Guys, you got it all wrong. Here’s the real story: I had been tracking the Joker for days after his brutal break in at the Gotham body lotion factory. When I finally caught up with the laughing loony I discovered that his nefarious plan was to drown all the kids living in Wayne Orphanage with his misgotten gains from said break in. “Holy moly,” said my trusted sidekick Robin, “you have to stop this vicious villain from committing this cowardly crime!” And so I did. A bit of KA-POW, BAM and POW left the livid lunatic longing for a swift return to Arkaham Asylum.
It was then I discovered that some lotion had spilled on my Batjeans during my triumphant tangle with the manic murderer. I then rushed to heroically the Batcave to soak them in my Batbucket.
But seriously, I am clumsy and had very dry hands. Anyways, the pants seem fine.

Question: Will it always ruin your leather tag if you put the jeans in the dryer? Ihxb01 in my case.

depends how hot your dryer is, hotter = more leather "aging" for lack of a better term

Thanks Zhivago I have seen patches turn black and hard before so I wanted to avoid that.

I have sort of a "dumb" question for the experts out there: when it comes to initially soaking unsanforized denim to get the shrink out, would there be a difference in laying the jeans out in a bath tub as opposed to soaking them crumpled up in a sink?
I ask because I'm planning on ordering a new pair of 666s when they're back in stock, but in my current living situation I don't have a bath tub. Can I get the job done either in my kitchen sink or by filling a bucket with hot water? I realize that hot water is hot water, I just wonder if I should worry about uneven shrinking?
Tips welcome please and thank you!

I assume that is a joke yes? (Forgive me, sometimes I can't always tell on the intarwebz)

Can anyone comment on washing multiple pairs of jeans at once (say, just two pairs)? I prefer to make better use of water and washing one pair at a time is a waste. I can't see how this could be a bad thing if the jeans are inside out. Does anyone here wash multiple pairs at once? I ask because I always read that jeans should be washed individually.
-
Ah, I forgot to point out that I meant in the washing machine. Same difference?

I usually try to wash a couple of pairs at once. I generally toss in a couple of dark blue tee shirts and a towel or two, so I have a full load for the washer. Seems to work ok for me.

Yay English and all of its subtleties! -
I recently bought a new pair of 634S as work jeans. Being as I am in construction, these jeans are frequently covered in sawdust and the like. I am not vehemently opposed to washing them, but I'd like to space out the washes as much as I can to retain some of the dark color for a while.
I have taken to gently vacuuming the jeans with a soft-brush attachment to pull the surface dust which seems to be working well. Anyone else try this?
I've also contemplated sprinkling some baby powder for added freshness and then vacuuming, but I'm not sure if this is a good idea or bad idea yet. Any input on this?
Thanks!

I occasionally take an air compressor to mine when they get real dusty, but I don't want to wash. It only takes a minute and they look a lot better.
If you don't have access to one, I've thought about those machines they have at gas stations to fill your tires. Might get some looks, but who cares.
