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

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!!!!!

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

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

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

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.

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!

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

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)…

Misuse, or delightfully creative new application?  Discuss.

[Matty123]

Misuse. No agitation no shrink.

So, it's been over a year since I last went to Rivet and Hide. It's been well over 6 years since I went to VMC Original and I have yet to visit DC4 in Berlin. This changes starting from next week.

^ Back in the game!

[Seul]

Back with a vengeance… I'm so glad you're back 

[Morose_Penguin]

Just booked a flight from Zurich to Berlin… Just need to find a hotel or similar that is equidistant between - DC4, Brewdog Berlin and within reach of public transport. So that's 17th - 26th sorted. Now need to think about either flying back from Germany, or going somewhere else for a day or so. Only real sticking point is that I have to be back in the U.K by the 29th at the absolute latest. Hmm.
