And not to forget, the Saphir Renovateur for the leather patch after water contact. Everything needs to be tidy and conditioned

@Matt:

Wooden hangers because we aren’t all wild animals like @Giles

So you fold them in half and hang them on the bar of the hanger?

Sure do. Been doing it that way for 10 years with almost every pant material IH has. No problem.

[Matt]

But I’m not against hanging from belt loops.  Self Edge makes really cool hangers for that.  I don’t know if they sell them.

I’ve never treated a leather patch before.  They seem to take care of themselves…

I leave mine in the car, get change before driving off  :

You still have the beetle buster

@Matt

No wardrobe is big enough for me the way I shop.

[Matt]

Those are my 3rd pair ever from 2012.  One crotch repair and some self repairs on the chain stitching.  Going strong.  #phoenixthebuster

I believe this.  You are a true beast.

[Kasi]

I started off with them back in 2013

Size 29

Now am 32….  Man size been in gym ever since.

Gotta says I missed them.

Only if Giles ever do a one of release again, am all game for it

@Matt

My early days when I try beach fades with my buster back in 2013

Getting them to fade faster

Over time I have done all kinds of things to jeans

@Jeanmoreau:

How are people storing them?

When I have my life together, they're folded in half on a sturdy hangar in my closet… in practice, they spend most of their time piled on the furniture in my bedroom. Doesn't seem to hurt them none.

@Kasi did that actually work? Never heard of 'beach fades' before. I live near the ocean at the moment… could be worth a shot

[Giles]

@Jestocost:

could be worth a shot

It's not

[Kasi]

@Jestocost

As Giles said it not…

I didn’t bother again it was an experiment at the time..

Ever since then, I learn to wear the shit out of Jeans…

Give them hell.  That’s what Iron Heart stubborn jeans takes a beating

[Jestocost]

Check zero, got it. Where did the idea of beach-washes come from, anyway, if it’s such a bad idea? I looked it up last night and apparently it’s not uncommon practice.

[Giles]

A similar place to the ridiculous idea that not washing jeans is a good thing…..

[Jestocost]

I take it, then, that it’s also denimhead bro-science that you should wait 6 months before washing your jeans? I feel like I’m unlearning everything I thought I knew about jeans today

[Kasi]

Not 6 months wash them when they dirty…

Simple as that

Giles answer it better below

[Giles]

Personally, I wait as long as possible before the first wash (unless they are raw, then I will wash/soak them before wearing), but what dictates when they get washed is when they look or smell dirty, not some fucked up notion of time perpetrated by the marketing department at XYZ jeans Co…...

[Jeanmoreau]

How long before they turn into sweat pants
