- 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

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,

My oldest pair of selvedge Edwins have been washed twice in 7 years, one of those only because I had an accident. Otherwise, hanging on the line in good sunlight or overnight in the freezer does the trick...
- placing in a plastic bag in the freezer for 2-3 hours works faster than just in freezer alonee-pill

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.
[let the QBN haters enter again]e-pill - their ignorance is utter bliss..e-pill
