I don't like (l/j)eggings either.

Also, last one, which goes for both men and women. Wearing blazers with stuff that isn't equally elegant.

I'm liking American Eagle jeans. They're nice and cozy, AND they look good :shades:

Nopenopenope.

Matt: You want that eh? You want everything good for you. You want everything that's--falls off garbage can

Camera guy: Whoa, haha, are you okay dude?

Matt: You want anything funny that happens, don't you?

Camera guy: still laughing

Matt: You want the funny shit that happens here and there, you think it comes out of your [bleep]ing [wagon] pushes garbage can down, don't you? You think it's funny? It comes out of here! running towards Camera guy

Camera guy: runs away still laughing

Matt: You think the funny comes out of your mother[bleep]ing creativity? Comes out of Satan, mother[bleep]er! nn--ngh! pushes Camera guy down

Couldn't agree more--there are plenty better jeans at roughly the same price.

I will put my boots on.

 

I will pass on down the corridor.

Get these instead, they'll last longer and fit much better (once soaked).

Hey. Tell me what to do next time I buy my 501s. Which will be disappointingly soon, just a couple months I bet. My mother insists on washing them (although she only notices after I've done what little laundry I do have, and throws my things in with hers willy-nilly), hopefully I can hold her off next time I get some. But my perfect indigo pairs are so wrong now. Fading badly, starting to fit wrong... So tell me what to do next time I start over with sexy jeans.

Open the hide tag in this post and search for the section about raw denim. Read it.

Now try to think of something you can do with your jeans if you don't want to wear them totally blue. Bleach them or something.

If you want to keep them in that color, you could try soaking them in hot water for a while then drip drying once the water's not really warm anymore. You can lose a lot of size doing this, so make sure you make the water proportionately warm.

For your next jeans, my personal recommendation would be to save up and get an a better pair (APC New Cure/Rescue, Naked & Famous WeirdGuy/Slimguy); when it comes to raw denim you're better off buying from a premium brand as others never look quite the same. Once you got your jeans, if you need them to shrink or if the inseam is too long, soak them while wearing them, sit in the bath, and let them dry and shrink on you (preferably when it's warm out, it's faster). This won't noticeably affect your indigo (though you might find some in your bathtub, which looks very fashionable but will wash away within a few baths/showers). And then, you just wear them all the time.

I'd highly recommend a pair of APCs. I'm about go a year of owning my current pair (New Standard) and I love them. My absolute favorite pair of jeans I wear. When it comes to washing, I've yet to wash mine. I don't see the point unless they absolutely smell and it's impossible to get rid of the odder or they're in desperate need of cleaning.

You should probably wash them, the bacteria's going to eat at the crotch.

I'll probably wait until the 1 year mark. I do steam them in my bathroom and let them sit outside on a hot day to let them air out about every couple of months.

 

@Dupin Yep. Trust me, the idea was weird at first after the first couple of weeks the idea of actually washing jeans seems weird, like I'll actually forget to wash some of my prewashed jeans after I wear them because I'm so used to not washing the one pair.

 

I'll try and find a picture I took the first day I got the jeans and I'll post a then and now photo.

Wait... you've gone a year without washing a pair of jeans?

That is somewhat unpleasant...

i wanted to get some apcs until they jumped in price. i think i'll just fork out another $20 and get some 3sixteens instead.

and if you want to get rid of your jean's smell, just freeze them. i wear my NF 7xweek since late november, yet to wash them.

Doesn't get rid of the the dirt though obviously, but yeah it's a good idea. Great for shoes in the summer too. I've read shoveling snow on your jeans will make them rigid again and remove the odor (or clean them I don't remember).

How long have you had them?

[Edit] oh wow

I meant how often do you wear them.

A little photoshoot, with the oppurtunity to dress up.

 

Wearing:

Skinny blue and white striped tie

Diagonally striped, white and light grey shirt, barrel cuffs.

Black blazer with gold pinstripe.

 

A risky stripe combination, in my opinion, don't know if I successfully pulled it off. At least all the stripes were in different colour and staggered differently.

I can't really say anything because the picture's B&W, and you're not facing the camera...

If you want to mix a lot of patterns and don't want to look all busy, 1) good job with recognizing the use of different proportions, 2) keep them in the same (neutral, generally) color family.
