Might sound crazy, but you can put in pumice stone and other kinds of stones to make this wear effect happen.

This thread has inspired me. I picked up a pair of raw Wranglers on the weekend. Will let you know in 12 months how they go.
I'd post a picture of my 8 month old Edwins (Red Selvage), but like I said, the dry cleaner made them fade too much.

Not be through everyone's reply. But I'd try to hold off for as long as possible. I find the freezer ting works a little bit, but if they must be washed, stick to this guide - http://www.acontinuouslean.com/2…

do not dry clean! i wore my edwins for 9 months. took them to get dry cleaned and the fuckers ruined them.

Put them in the freezer as often as possible. Inside a water tight bag. This'll will slow any bacteria multiplying. And it's so a awesome putting on frozen jeans.

Dark denim is best washed with fabric conditioner only.

So i was packing yesterday for a work trip and noticed the sweater i wanted to take hadn't been washed, smelled kinda funky, and was dry clean only... So after browsing this thread, the light bulb went off, I took my sweater put it in a plastic bag, dropped it in the freezer... and left it over night... this morning I took it out, gave it a big whiff and realized something really important.... All you raw jean wearing mo-fo's are definitely walking around town smelling like big sweaty balls!
- lol, had to share.. after that I hung it in the sun for a couple of hours, worked betterThelonious_Funk
