What is the proper way to wash jeans? Not raw denim, just some Levis. Haven't washed em since I bought em.

soak them in a tub or washing machine and let hang dry..

 

[bearclawd]

Does it matter if they're inside out or not?

 

[leclutchjames]

Those could be sick if she got you the right fit

Yup she knows my size in N&F

Also don't know what's so "sus" about them.

APC NS after the first wash

Worn for 7 months almost daily

I must have done something wrong when washing  

I didnt get any fading in the denim and somehow the whiskers disappeared

Looks pretty new for 7 mos

and for the sizing for apcs, it is recommended to size down 2 from your true waist size

I guess I just need to put more wear into them

And yea, I sized down 2 and they fit great

 

[leclutchjames]

You didn't need to wash them at all.

But it's a learning process my dude

I found one that is the same but instead of rainbow it turns red only. I'll cop if it goes on sale

 

[stillin729]

Any places I can cop a nice pair of faded light wash jeans? Premium stuff preferred

I'm currently working my PRPS Rambler Raws but want something like their normal washes from years ago

Peps fail to tell what they do to get those fades. You have to be a nasty a MF to get those crazy fades.

Rule #1 is that they have to be skin tight. NS's are not that tight. Tighter the better. Why do think peps get blowouts, their denim are too tight.
Rule #2 wear them everyday single day. its better if you are an bike commuter.
Rule #3 washing depends on how active you are. The more active you are in the denim the sooner you can wash to get great fades. I hear folks going to the ocean or wearing them in the tub.
Rule #4 Friction against the denim causes fades. If you wear them in your car to an office job everyday is not the same as someone that dont have a car and bikes everywhere. Most peps that have great fades have only one pair of denim.

Ahh, that clears a lot up

Fellas what's the equivalent of 508 Levi's in Nudie Jeans?

 

[Grine]

I ordered my first pair of Hudson - Byron Straight...I am frighten. My SA at Neiman's told me I will thank him when it comes in. 

Received my pair of Cult of Individuality black waxed jeans...Golden...

 

[kiickz4dayz]

Anyone know where I can get nudie black waxed denim online? Heard they were discontinued.

 

[itz rolli]

was cleaning and took a pic of some of my different indigo dyed pants.

Probably the Tapeted fit or whatever it's called

 

[unknwn]

Actually I think the mistake most people make is looking at the tagged size ad not the actual measurements and think that by buying a pair with a tagged size 2 below their usual size they are actually getting a pair that is 2 inches smaller in the waist. MOST APCs except pcs I think measure 2 sizes below the tagged size. A tagged 30 measures at 32. So when you "size down 2" you are actually not sizing down at all.

That too.

Speaking of APCs...I bought my first pair of APCs in 2008/2009 (forgot which year exactly) for $145...My new pair cost me $180 Come on, inflation can't make the price go up THAT much.

Hype can.

What is the proper way to wash jeans? Not raw denim, just some Levis. Haven't washed em since I bought em. :x

Even for regular jeans, I soak them in a bath tub and let them air dry

You didn't get anything because they looked basically new before you even washed them

 

[D.Josey]

Breaking out my Petit Standards for the first time in like two months. Hot soaked those things and man they got tight on the thighs

Thinking about copping another pair one size up though, I just love APCs for some reason

[typerpinoy]

[andee]

Some cheap Uniqlo raw selvedge. Two years, two washes.

 

[garretttmc]

Hey guys. I'm looking to get my first pair of raw denim. I'm a bigger guy (5'10 about 190ish) Are there any brands you recommend that would fit someone with big thighs?
