There should be a special term that can be used to describe the pong that emanates from these jeans.

i bet you could halve the time by using a light sandpaper to help pick out wear details as they show up

I just bought some Cheap Monday raw jeans today that are so tight, the pockets are useless, and cut so low my coworkers will see my ass crack if I don't have a t-shirt tucked in. WIN.

Funny quote from a link on page one...
"Can I ask... Does it really matter if you wash them periodically? What the hell is the difference going to be in how they turn out? I seriously can't fathom why it would be any different washing them every 7-10 wearings versus waiting 100 and finally washing the rankness out.
Is it just supposed to be some major event where you fly your denim friends on a pilgrimage to a well at the top of a hill in a small village in Italy and then once they are washed, someone rings the bell and the whole town celebrates?"

I just bought a pair of really dark indigo gstar jeans, I think the lot of you are insane for not washing your pants but I will try it for the next six months.
I'll know it's a bad idea when I start losing friends and/or clients.

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

Here are some other quotes from that same thread:
"The smell is probably sweat from your crotch/ass area. Not pretty. That being said, sometimes when I am traveling I rinse the crotch of my jeans (sometimes I add soap) so I can get a couple of more wearings out of them without wasting the time to do a full launder for them. This may help you. Also, I have a denim jacket that I have sewn vintage embroidered fabric on to and I ran it through the dryer with Dryel. That got rid of the sweat smell and did not damage the embroidery."
"No, not the crotch/ass area. I'm talking about the indigo smell. Sorry about your smelly crotch."

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!!!
