**HWDC Challenges Round 7
-
Washing jeans is a controversial and emotive subject for some, share how you clean yours. What's your method and why does it work for you? Pictures please.
-
Don't wash your jeans, if your jeans remain unwashed give us some denim close ups and tell us why you believe that dirt is the way forward.
-
Running repairs. No doubt that some heavy champs jeans are getting pretty beat up, let's see those repairs and talk us through them.
Challenges end November 4th.**

Quick update of my pair with some due repairs not done yet. I've been wearing them only occasionally the last weeks and washed maybe 1-2 times since the last update.

Those kickass Max!

Wow.
I tried my MBBs on yesterday. Still fit. Still wish the waist was bigger.
Still too hot out.
Come on October.

Wash Challenge pics part 1, and this is where I reveal my completely unscientific wash regime. This will be about the 10th wash for these jeans and I plan on washing them monthly between now and the end of the contest.
When jeans are new I am quite gentle with them, but after over a year I throw caution to the wind.
First, some pre wash shots.
So first I remove the 2 things which I have carried constantly with these jeans, my HWDC belt and one of the removed hems from the jeans which I keep in the back pocket.
Then I turn them inside out.
The tools of the trade, nothing fancy just regular detergent and fabric conditioner.
Place in washing machine.
Set to high temperature and high spin cycle, watch as denim heads all over the world pass out at the thought of an 800rpm spin.
And await results in part 2.

And I think of you every time

I didn't photograph the knob, I'll PM it you later as usual

And the results of my white knuckle ride of denim dirt removal look a little like this…
First a line dry...
After 4 or 5 hours on the line I commit another ultimate denim sin by throwing them in the tumble dryer ( I can hear the collective shock of a hundred denim heads passing out here).
And this is the result….(bad lighting)
So that is how I clean my MBB's, just like normal folks clean their jeans, no magic here people. From here on in this will be happening at the end of every month.
