Cutting Denim

i wash my jeans about once a week and none of that has happened to them.

The Doc is right about denim. I dont practise it as much now but back in the day i didnt wash my jeans much esp my really expensive clubbing ones, all u need to do is hang them on the washing line (i didnt do this if it was dead sunny as sun bleachs cloth) for a few hours and the breeze blows the smell out of them. It sounds minging but jeans dont really need to be washed unless they have major marks on them u cant hand wash off.

If I buy a per of jeans £150+ I would never machine wash them id get them dry cleaned and even then not very often.

Yep, just air them. Good suggestion on not putting them out in the sunshine, too.

Apparently machine washing dry denim is best, on a cool wash with very little washing powder, as it makes them fade properly. I've got a pair of dry Nudies from Christmas that I'm too scared to do it with, though.

Alexander - you obviously have a load of shit denim then.

nah honest u would be suprised what a good days airing out does. what would make it stink? sweat? u dont sweat much on your legs and the airing gets rid of that.

I hardly ever wash my pure Wool tops as well but u have to wear a tee shirt under them or the pits WILL smell

tis best not to wash jeans like, i hate when theyve just bin washed!!! they hang/fit better when they're unwashed.

the doc and pike are right about them not smelling if you air them out! me ex lass used to take the piss out of me for not washing my jeans for a few weeks!

this thread is well funny...men dicussing the best way to keep your jeans fresh & looking good

next you's will b telling us how to keep your socks looking new with no bobbles on them

yep, i hardly ever wash mine, cos they never feel quite right once they have been washed

i like looking good

i only wear diesel jeans

Diesel isn't the best denim as it's mass-produced. I find that Diesel stuff always turns horrible after it's been washed too.

For the money you're chucking out on Diesel stuff, you could buy much better jeans.

my pairs are fine on a regular machine wash. no issues at all with the embroidery as long as i turn them inside out, save yourself some cash.

your not supposed to wash them at all like. bulshit though i wash mine once a month tops and inside out. Silas jeans are the worst though! after one wash they totally change. gutted coz i love my silas jeans as well.

imagine that

like what?

Levi Blue, Levi, Silas, Nudie.

its all about personal prefrence, ive had a pair of diesel jeans and they were ok but i wasnt keen on the cut.

i don't like the cut on any of them, diesel jeans fit me perfect that why i where them

I think diesel are better suited to taller people
