HWDC Challenge Round 7

HC - IH - 38

Washing your jeans.  This pair I've shower washed.  Yep it's weird but it's allowed the combs to develop nicely…

Step 1... put jeans on, I wear underwear also because wet 25oz jeans never get comfortable and grab your gopro
Step 2... get in shower.  I have a removable shower head that makes getting everything wet easier

Do some squats

I recommend a towel underneath them while you are drying off so you don't have a small lake to clean up later

Make sure to walk around the house and yard half naked to keep things weird

Hang up to dry

Grab non-gorpo camera and retrieve once dry

So on a washing care side note.  Left is 25oz MBBs, right is 23oz 634s,  the 25oz has only been shower washed, with washings happening 1-3 weeks depending on wear and my busy schedule, 25-30 total washings.  The 23 oz on the right was worn for 4.5 months straight then recieved inside out machine washes and dried on a hook like the above, total washes I'd guess around 12-15.  Total wear is fairly close, the 25 oz having ~800 skydives and 14 months of leg time and the 23oz having ~1200 skydives and 10 months leg time.

And one final picture.  Left is the 25oz, center is the 23oz and the right the self edges 20oz denim.  The 20oz denim is what happens when you forget to turn them inside out and wash them.  So as a reminder, always turn your pants inside out. oops.

Forgot to say, nice pics all, keep them coming!

That 20oz denim in the SExIH22-633S fades fast.  I'm not surprised a single trip through the washer had such a significant effect.

I always enjoy your updates, by the way.

Fanya this is the same way I wash my IH jeans in the shower then hang to dry.

[spitfiredealer]

great update fanya. Can really see the difference in the combs from the shower wash.

[Seul]

Great pics (and fades), fanya, you sexy skydiving devil!..

[fanya]

Thanks all!

And, twin, I'm glad someone else thinks like me!

Fanya, I do the same thing, just shower washed my MBB's last week.  Your fades are insane, I wish mine looked half as good as yours.

How often do you sky dive? I hear it helps!

[Seul]

Insert vertical fades joke in there somewhere…

Oh: and if the parachute doesn't open, you'll end up with some Flatheads...

I might need to pick up a new hobby.

From the pics thread.
@summ3rhays:

Family pictures taken last month.  I thought they turned out great and not too bad pics of my contest jeans.

Great family shots Mike, and the jeans are looking good too

Really cool, I must visit Hamburg next year.

[Max Power]

Thank you! You should, and we would be many people to welcome you (and have a drink or two).

FACT!

[Megatron1505]

I'm 99.9% sure (barring accident or death) that I will be in Hamburg next year. It's been on my visit list for a long time.

[Max Power]

Great news!
