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.

I'm not a fan of fabric softener, but that's preference. I am confused about the chopped hem. What's the scoop? Good luck charm?

I just like to hang onto it as it was a piece of denim which I attempted hemming on at the Chain Stitch Massacre last year.
