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

[zen..]

Na try ko ng 3 weeks sa Baguio. Using it mga once a week.

That's not so bad. It's aired for a week

Back to the first post...

The jeans I buy are of the RAW kind, never been touched by water.

I'm hoping you're having them dry cleaned.

Raw or selvedge jeans, bihira talaga mag wash. I have 3 pairs hehe

truly the exception!
but par for the industry.

"mang nick, gano kadalas nyo linalabhan yang maong na ginagamit ninyo sa pag-karpintero't pag-mason?"
"naku, hindi ko na matandaan kung kelan ko huling nilabhan ito. hindi ko nga inu-uwi ito. nakasabit lang siya katabi ng tools..."

[ice15]

nung nag-aaral pa kami. our teacher asked us guys to do an experiment to prove her point na dapat naka-upo ang lalaki sa CR. (some Japanese/Koreans do this at home. and if I remember correctly, Arabs also do this)

kahit anong angle gawin namin na CR (using a male urinal and toilet bowl) may maliliit na drops ng bumabalik sa atin around the knee area.

hence, kahit hindi ka pawisan sa pants mo... kailangan mo sya i-wash, either the normal way or through the dry cleaners.

I do this at home, although facing the tank instead kung wiwi lang naman. Kapag nakatayo, kahit ma-shoot mo yung main jet pagdating sa droplets sa dulo madalas yun ang hindi mo na ma-control.

Ahhhh. well some here would advocate not taking a bath haha.

Etong pandemic where almost everyone who still has work is in WFH mode... I will hazard a guess na marami ang hindi naliligo regularly as they used to.

hence, after the class "experiment" + Mythbuster's episode on why you need to flush the toilet with the lid closed, I always wash my clothes after wearing them outside the house.

I have 2 Raw Levi’s. A 501 & a 505. I also have 3 pairs of Uniqlo Selvedge raw & 2 pairs raw. Between Levi’s & Uniqlo, I like the fades of the Uniqlo maybe because the Uniqlos have a deeper indigo dye & maybe the weave is better. The crotch of 2 of the selvedge ones blew out already owing to the light weight quality. I stll wear them because I find the contrast in the fades so unique.
The 501’s went through all the soaking, vinegar, starching & close to 5 months of no washing. Since it is a regular fit, it was hard to define the fades (whiskers, railroad tracks, stacking & honeycomb) pero meron din & imo, the honeycomb had a 3d effect. I retired those jeans after got the nice fades & shifted my attention to the Uniqlos. I still have an unworn raw & occasionally worn selvedge raw that are almost 4 years old. Still dark, dark blue. I bought natural colored full grain belts for them. Except for these 2, all my other jeans are washed. Mabilis masira if you won’t wash them.

How often do you wear them? And for how long per usage?

How much did you get your Japan Blue?
Indonesia makes very good selvedge jeans, Sage ang brand. A lot cheaper than Japanese ones. Gets featured in Heddles, magaganda fades.

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

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.

I tried, but for a period of three months lang,

[TsekwangBakla]

Ang pantalon sa akin isang araw lang laba na. Ang t shirt or polo shirt, minsan nakaka 4 ako sa isang araw. Kada labas, palit kaya may maliit ako storage box sa kotse. Lagayan malinis at madumi na damit.

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
