[Morose_Penguin]

Cameras may have come a long way since I last took a photo, this doesn't mean that I have bought a new camera in the intervening years. Or worked out what technical terms like 'focus' mean.

It's going well thanks Rocket, catching up on a few threads has really made me want to rotate my jeans again

Good to hear !! and we love an edge and twist as you know, come as you are…

@Morose_Penguin:

I may even wash my dick again.

Don't even want a legendary poor M_P pic of that…

Fearing a crotch blowout, I've decided to machine wash my overalls. It's their year anniversary give or take a day or two. They were ripe as fuck and were starting to turn tan from dirt.

Don't know where exactly this belongs…

For me as a rookie it is really interesting to see how different my 666S 18oz. and my Samurai 18oz. evolve. The IH is 12 month older...the whiskers seem to be "sharper" and more defined with the Samurai. Even visible with very different light.

Samurai denim isn’t dipped (indigo) as deep as Iron Heart denim, they do this purposely to attain high contrast fades. The Iron Heart denim is dipped to the core of the cotton, which gives a much more even and vintage fade.

Thanks a lot for the info, @Megatron1505!

Pulled the plug on Facebook two weeks ago.  My life has felt a fair amount less toxic as of late.

This interests me. I’ve just deleted the apps from my phone and I seriously contemplating tossing the whole thing.

Yes, that is someone sous viding their jeans instead of the regular soak!  ??? ???

[UnTucked]

It's so genius, but it also annoys me for some reason…

They're just jeans, people! LMAO!!! (Please be some sick and twisted humour)

Can we talk about why the guy turned them inside out??? Seriously? LMAO!!!!!

I did that in about 2010, I think.  Totally do not miss it.

Do it bro. Feels great. This site is as close as I get to
Social media.

Re: sous vide jeans, doesn't this person realize that it will not have the effect of an actual soak because there's no water contact?  Safe in that little plastic baggy, they're essentially warming up their dry jeans.  No effect on fit, but most importantly no help bedding in the stitches and strengthening the fibers.

[UnTucked]

I can only assume that they were at least "smart enough"  to wet the jeans first…. but still, vacuum sealing them would keep them stretched, and DEFINITELY cause creasing...

***I feel more and more stupid the more I think about this.....

P.S. My apologies if the weirdo is a forum member..... LMAO!

[sabergirl]

This is almost as good as the dude who pressure-washed his jeans.

[UnTucked]

A quick run through the Googles shows at least 2 different instances of this being discussed (Once on reddit, and once posed as a question on Heddels)…

It actually breaks my heart to see someone misusing my favorite kitchen gadget
