@jimmy:

every time you wash you loose precious indigo

@injunjack:

how about good old fashioned washing.

When I was younger, people used to wash their clothes when they get dirty or smelly…

So?? jeans fade, and washing them is normal usage of a garment…not washing them when they are soiled is quite odd...

i wasnt having a dig at ya just giving a reason for why we're talking about doing what we do.

not that we never wash our jeans just trying to keep it at a minimum so we get more of a contrast fade rather than a overall even fade. at least thats why i do it.

I'm curious why the ih301 series has no outer selvedge showing
and is the 301s-bk selvedge too?

If I recall right, the visible selvage line got cut because it's a tapered fit

[Giles]

Not quite correct, the whole cut of the 301 was designed for a non selvedge denim so showing the selvedge line was not an important consideration.  When we designed the 666 which is also tapered, we disigned it to show the selvedge line.

The 301S is selvedge, look at the fly construction.  The only 301 jean that is non-selvedge is the 9301.  G

thanks max power and giles for clearing that up

Stupid question: what does the number and colour of the squares under the rank (e.g. "Iron Heart Deity") mean?

[nameness]

It's just a post count meter.  The more posts you have, the more squares.  Color is user type…  mods are green, G is red as admn, etc.

ah, thanks!

Hi, I been looking to a pair of levis 501 black polishes. I dont have experience with black denim, does black denim stretchs less than regular denim?  do they fade as well?

cheers

[Beatle]

Question:  What is the best way to hang selvage jeans after wearing them?

I currently have 4 pairs of selvage jeans that I rotate through, wearing one then folding them in half, then I put the one I wore on the bottom of the pile, then start rotation again.

I am concerned that I will get a wear mark where I keep folding them and am curious if this is the best way to store them and am curious how others are hanging, placing, or are you just throwing in a corner when they are not being worn.
