having blue hands and legs for 6 months was the deal breaker for me.
- if it is indigo there wouldnt be blue on the inside.. maybe you just had cheap dye..e-pill

- thats waxy denim treated with wax, not indigo raw denim.. it might of been b4 the wax..e-pill
- if you wash that you lose the treatment of the wax.. not good to wear these in the raine-pill
- fuckn Ah,
I thought they were just dirtygeorgesIII - how is rainwater going to affect waxscarabin
- the denim will absorb the water under the treatment of the wax..e-pill
- when the denim dries the wax coating cracks off leaving very different and non waxy feel.e-pill

e-pill is doing a respectable job of holding down this fort. Even if it does smell like hairy thighs.

So...I hang my jeans up, folded in half on a rod. Will this wear on raw denim like if I were wearing it?

My jeans don't smell at all. The freezer / damp weather treatment and spot washing if need be takes care of all.

Certainly, not washing your jeans will make them smell after a while, but it's not a repugnant smell or vile odor. I haven't washed mine in about 7 or 8 months,

too bad your steaks taste like scrotum after the freezer treatment

so once you wash 'em and you get that look you're after, can you wash 'em like normal?
- yes. you finally got the point.e-pill
- this technique is only for those interested in that "vintage" looke-pill
- normally to achieve this look you must be buried in a coal mine for 100 million years.e-pill
- i got the point, just giving you guys shit ;)scarabin
- or you can just not wash them for 8 months while sweating buckets of stench ...e-pill
- i'm a big fan of the look, just hate wearing dark washesscarabin
- once the wiskering and distressing occur over your body a template is created.e-pill
- i know you knew the point just giving the shit right back atcha!!e-pill
- :Pe-pill
- once the indigo goes thru its wash, if the wiskering and the distressing naturally occur..e-pill
- then it moves the indigo off the distressed areas and give it that "vintage" feel instantly.e-pill
- and once its all complete that denim will be only for you, an individual item.e-pill
- so when you strut yourself out in public those that know you didnt but that fake distresse-pill
- all for the sake of fashion.

for those interested in learning how to create a unique vintage denim thru customizations i highly recommend to those to purchase this book.
which can be purchased just about anywhere..
also if you are interested in learning about denim's history and every brand ever created then i suggest you purchase the Denim Bible.
both books are bound in denim and have a selvage for a bookmark, bound into the binding. the stitching holding the books together are from red stitch seaming thread.
be a denim whore!!!
