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.
-
Ah, that makes more sense. I keep mine in my closet as it's nice to see what the denim looked like when new.
-
How long do you think the patch will last with hot washes and tumble drying? The aversion to turning the leather into a blackened chip is the only thing that keeps me from tossing my pair in the dryer.

My pair are the OG sample pair of the MBB's, no leather patch, no stealth arcs….simple jeans for a simple man

Another short update, as I borrowed a Nikon and wouldn't want to miss the opportunity for decent shots.

Wash Challenge
HC-IH-26Ok, Originally I wanted to wash them every 2 months at the minimum. However, that's not always how things work out and since Feb I've been following the wash schedule of wash when dirty.
Here we go.
As these are my daily jeans I rarely remove the stuff from my pockets, since it's wash day, out they come.
Ready to turn inside out front pre wash
and back…it's very dark in my laundry room so apologies for the darkness..
remove cuff bunnies
finally inside out
the old wash notes, this isn't something that I would normally do, but since it was a competition, I figured it may be useful info
small repair I had to do on the inside of my left leg
I like to give them a pre-soak. Only because sometimes due to the weight of them and my water friendly machine, they don't get wet in certain areas.
aaaand in.
bit of detergent, again, nothing fancy at all.
the settings
No spin cycle option
again, because of the water conserving machine, I set my timer to go back and flip them.
back in
done
and outside to drip dry in the sun
Ok,
That was very long and way too many pics, I've missed a few challenges so hopefully this makes up for that…Updates when dry!
