bump because im gonna wash my clothes before it gets too late

Never washed my raws and don't plan on washing the cheap Levi's I got the other day.

Just wait until all your clothes can fit in one wash and all come out dry and you won't wash your jeans again

i've never washed a pair of jeans i've ever owned. from my nudies to my levis. unless you get a major spill on them, don't wash them. they won't smell.

lol I havent washed my 510s in months and I treat them like shit

dont they get dirty/smelly?

this is literally my first pair of jeans

>>7262172
If you're worried about smell you can always put baby powder on before putting them on or spraying them with a little bit of cologne I guess

The rule for not washing jeans only applies to raw denim and higher quality jeans. If they are just regular Levi's from a department store than there's nothing wrong with washing them.

>>7262172
How can it be your first pair of jeans?

>>7262194
Then it's going to smell like shit + whatever you're trying to use to mask the scent

just don't be a fat slob and sweat all over them. Air them out after every wear and they should be fine.

>>7262213
always worn shorts since i lived in the AZ desert

>>7262084
I've never washed my nf's or jeans really. As long as you don't
>poop in them
>sweat a flood in them
>work that requires getting stuff on you
You should be fine, but if they are starting to smell put them in plastic bags and freeze them overnight. It should kill the bacteria that makes it smell.

The desert gets cold at night, especially in the winter.

Below freezing is pretty common.

Something doesn't add up.

>>7262257
yeah the sonoran desert gets freezing

thats why i snowed once during the 15 years i lived there

Pop em in the freezer and spray them down with some febreeze


B)

cold/cold, inside out, hang dry

Doing well so far

>>7262257
not that guy but if he was living in the phoenix area it pretty much never gets cold ever

what is wrong with washing jeans?

Well I've decided to just not wash them for now, but if they start getting raunchy I'll toss em in on cold, and air dry.

>>7262306
I can vouch for that.

semirelated question, my nfs got a bunch of mud caked on them when i was drunk, how to get it off without a full-blown wash? just dab at it with water?

>>7262311
but also if you're in phx area you are gonna have some serious swamp crotch in jeans so i would wash thm if they are levi's

the no wash thing is mostly for raws, but you still don't want to overwash your jeans. every few weeks is probably good. idk, base it off how they smell and feel.

air them out after every wear and they'll last longer

I lived there 8 years. Morning frost is common and most of the year hovers around 70-80 with cold nights, much lower if it rains. I never felt a need to wear shorts there. I just wore thinner materials in summer.

Pic related. Ice in the desert.

m8 i think we are talking about two seperate sonoran deserts

I have some all black stretchy 514 their my favorite and wear them all the time. Never washed then since that kind fades easily. Had them for like 5 months and just barely started smelling

>>7262302
pls respond, I really don't understand why I shouldn't wash my jeans

>>7262391
Generally speaking, even with lower-quality jeans. You are removing dye from it

You may or may not want to remove dye and fade the jeans harshly

>>7262363
Phoenix is just an urban heat island. The rest of the state is chilly as fuck, though most people don't really give a fuck about leaving the city. The Sonoran desert gets a ton of rain for a desert.

>>7262398
But wouldn't I be able to just re-dye the jeans then?
I only wear black jeans.

>>7262302
It inevitably will cause some of the dye to wash out, which usually means they will look blotchy and cheap forever after.

I really don't get why everyone is so uneasy about not washing certain items. Like, underwear are an obvious must wash and t-shirts because of pits/deodorant residue. . . But there's really no reason to aid the deterioration of any other clothing items by unnecessary washing. I never wash any of my jackets or pants (excluding ones reserved for working in--manual labor job). Shit doesn't smell bad unless you/your surroundings naturally smell like shit. . . in which case you should be fixing the root of the stank instead of just washing it out every week.

>>7262469
why the fuck would you want to create all that inconvenience when it could be avoided by just doing nothing to the jeans to begin with?

>>7262212
>higher quality jeans
what kind of jeans are higher quality

>>7262523
whatever /fa/ claims are high quality

>>7262227

I wash them before I first wear them

then I just hang them out on the clothesline to air out every so often

>>7262194
fucking retard

>>7262289
protip here, learn it, live it, love it

Keep in mind your jeans will only ever be as clean as you are, so as long as you're washing your balls and not exercising in them you'll be fine
