Has any here tried not washing their jeans for 6 months?

[Wh1stl3r]

I wear my Japan Blue selvedge jeans at least 6 days a week. 10-12 hrs per day. I soak/wash it every 6 months. My other 2 selvedge jeans, on rotation pag Sundays

Wow bro. 6 months before you wash it? Hindi ka siguro pawisin. Longest I've gone without a wash was a week of daily use in college IIRC. Nilalabahan lang pag may amoy na.

Longest was 2 weeks (not out of choice but necessity), I was doing our practicals, mapping the hinterlands of Ifugao. We had a main camp in Lagawe, but we had to map out a remote part. Since it would be time consuming to go back so we camped wherever we stopped for th night (lucky if there was a village, if not just pitch a tent. So the jeans I wore lasted the entire 2 weeks. It was crusty and chafing from the mud, dust, sweat and whatever else. Yung sabi na "tumatayo na yung pantalon mo mag-isa at pag di mo nabantayan tatakbo na yan!" literally held true.

Nowadays, because of the pandemic, laba agad yan kapag sinuoot mo sa labas.

Depende yan sa tao. May tao kahit katatapos lang maligo iba talaga amoy katawan may baho agad. Maybe pheromones nya or skin maantot talaga. Usually matataba ganyan kahit scotch brite pa gamitin hindi talaga kakayanin. Internal problem mabaho pawis/balat.

Example nung college hindi ko lang maalala kung 2nd year, 3rd or 4th nagstop na ako magsabon mukha. As in plain tubig lang. Eh highschool nag eskinol pa ako.

Hindi namin lahi tigyawat, tagtawat, acne as in waley sa parents ko. Nainflunsyehan ako mga pinsan ko babae. Mas napaganda pa nung nagstop ako magsabon nagsaraduhan pores ko sa ilong nawala blackheads as in ubos.

Ako lagpas one year nagawa ko walang labahan skinny jeans. Amoy lumang papel lang.

Pag bagong ligo ako at after 5hours lets say nag-gym ako = amoy buhok ng mais or kumukulong kamote body ko. Malinamnam.

I have not washed a uniqlo jeans I bought when I was a student in Japan more than 10 years ago.
Hindi na kasya, Hindi na sinusuot. Hini na nlalabhan

I forgot already. Sabay ko binili with my Momotaro in Kyoto that time. I think my momotaro was around 12k? And Japan Blue was around 7k yata.

But you’re right. Mas maganda fading if slim fit yung jeans hehe yung Japan Blue ko regular fit so mas matagal bago nag fade

I heard some go as much as P20k. I tried some slims of H&N before but slims don’t agree with me. My son & daughter kept laughing.
Japan raws are beyond my budget nowadays, but the Sage ones can be bought online & heavy weight ones are reasonably priced.
This is a nice site to understand more of the denim culture:

Might be shocking to some, but the quality jeans are not meanth to be washed (frequently) because the goal is to preserve the indigo dye.

They are also not meanth to be ironed (plantsa). The natural creases & folds develop when worn are personalized & these are where the fades develop. The creases are also best preserved when hung by the belt loops.

Machine washing is a no-no, so is using bleach. I use Perwoll Black & normally soak the jeans (inside out) for a few hours then agitate to loosen the dirt. Machine wahing creates distinctive lines.

*If you’re going to spend on those artisanal Japanese denims, that is.

Naalala ko officemate ko na lalaki (matagal na resigned, matangkad na obese).. Daily nasa conference room kami para sa knowledge sharing.. That time ako lang ang babae sa team, anim kami na naka-night shift.. Hindi ko na talaga matiis ang amoy, nagtanong ako round table kung sinusuot ba nila uli ang mga pantalon nila.. Nagulat ako na malaman, twice sinusuot ng iba.. Maliban dun sa isa na obese, 1 week niya sinusuot.. Ang ginagawa lang daw nya pagdating sa bahay, ibibilad daw nya uli sa arawan..
Tumawa talaga ako, "seryoso?!"
Tapos nag-kwento na sya ng details, natatawa ako na namamangha.. Deep inside, "S*** sya talaga ang culprit!!".. Gusto ko talaga sana diretsuhin na di na ok ang amoy, kaso seryoso sya.. Baka mag-away kami [emoji28].. Hindi pa kami ganun ka-close para maging prangka ako..
Sobrang hate ko talaga yung set up namin na daily conference room.. Kapag lumalabas ako para mag-CR pagpasok ko ulit ng room, ang bagsik ng amoy (parang sa commercial ng Red Horse beer ang eksena hahahahahaha [emoji23] talsik ako sa bagsik).. Feeling ko pati ako ganun na din amoy.. [emoji28]
