Rafa, are you secretly working night shifts at a coal mine? Looking good,
-
Damn nice Jestre!
-
Wearing them every day, the whole day. Sitting around at work, long dogwalks after or before that and some work in the garden, that´s all.
-
Good job everyone! Cant wear for everyone to reach the one year mark.
@ChuckDenim, lovely progress. I love the look of the combs too!
-
Thanks!
It´s curious, but they feel softer than before washing. I think the starch has gone now.
I did two boiling hot soaks at the begining, so they didn´t shrunk with the wash.
Only in the upper thigh a bit shrinking is noticeable.
I´m really happy with the result and glad there is no marbeling from the wash. -
It s fucking 5:30am here in S'pore and for some reason it decided to rain.. Very heavy rain.
Hung my RAWS out to air it the night before and it's fucking soak!! Argh!! I am barely one month into it!The best part of it, I stay on the 3rd storey in public housing. Jeans is so wet and heavy, damn hanger gave way right before I could grab the jeans!!!
RAWS just "air-borne"So I am comptemplating to give it a wash? If it make any sense. Should I? ( i did a quick rinse on the jeans with clean water after picking it up from the ground though)
I am so upset now and I cant get back to sleep! Argh!

I would just do a soapy soak, followed by a clean soak, OR just a cold clean soak. I feel like these jeans need to be soaked regularly to protect the denim. So do not worry. I would not put them through a full wash cycle and spin. Just soak and dry. If there is no agitation when you soak, you should lose only starch, not indigo.
Don't buy into the "wait-to-get-wet" philosophy. All you end up with are broken threads or holes in your jeans. You might even look back on this and be glad that it happened so soon.
