IH-634-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
Hand washing is the safest without a doubt. There’s a consensus (that I have no empirical data on), that US washing machines are pretty harsh on clothes compared to European machines.
I always machine wash my jeans (40C and max 800rpm), and have never had marbling except that one time my little guy had puked all over my 666-XHS and in all the stress I forgot to turn down the rpm and they went through on 1600. It is the rpm that causes the marbling.
-
@Neph93, by rpm are you referring to the spin cycle?
-
Yup. I get it now. Usually the higher end machines have that feature of no spin cycle. Also i think the machines with agitators are harder on clothes and jeans in particular than the machnes without.

I'm not sure. Ours at home is a front loader too. I have definitely screwed up a few items by not being sensible about what settings I use. I tend to do 30C and no spin for best results. I always soak before washing and always turn inside out. I also try and put more than just one item in the wash, preferably a sweatshirt and pants, I think this "softens" the wash cycle…..
-
Top loaders are more harsh than front loaders, generally speaking. I've also had better results washing jeans with a couple of other items, as Giles said. Typically, I toss in items of varying sizes- a towel, some socks, and a t-shirt or two, for instance. I have no empirical evidence to support this system, but it works pretty well for me. Oh yeah- wash inside out, light soil cycle, low spin (my machine doesn't give rpms, much to my annoyance).

Thanks for all the washing advice. I have top load and i havent figured out how to control the time for soak. I think it drains after 10-15 min regardless of what i do…turning the washer off etc. I usually go wiht tub soaking/washing which is what I did, and managed to get inside out. Worked like a charm.

Hi to everyone,
is it normal for legtwist of right leg?
-
Legtwist on the XHS is normal, especially at larger (34 and up) due to the fact that it is unwashed - similar to how unsanforized denim with shrink in accordance to the twill weave direction, an unwashed denim (like this one) with skew.
I always love have the selvedge line twists and lays on the laces of my chucks in a cool way - like an “if you know, you know” badge of honor!
