Do you shrink-to-fit your Levi's?

Levis? No. But I have 2-3 pairs of selvedge jeans I haven't washed in over 2 years.

 

Haven't heard of this trick. Will try and report back later.

 

Does this strike anyone else overwhelmingly effeminate/metro-sexual? I was single once and did my share of peacocking, but this seems over and above. Maybe I'm just an old fart. Get off my lawn with your skinny jeans. ;P

 

What's the advantage of Raw Denim. I had a couple pairs of Evisu jeans that were raw denim. Apparently they were nice.

 

Michael Jordan jeans?

 

if i wash my 501 jeans they lose color badly... that's without throwing them in the dryer

 

I don't get the hype of Levi's.. Only jeans in my current wardrobe are Diesels.

 

Are you serious about not having washed your jeans in years? Hopefully then you haven't worn them in years either. I understand wearing them several times in a row, but not indefinitely. Gross.

(and the shrinking to fit sounds metrosexual to me too, even if they tell you to do it on commercials. Skinny jeans restrict the circulation to your man parts, guys. )

 

You really aren't supposed to wash high end jeans. I remember reading this article by this top jeans designer (I think Guess) and he said he never washes his jeans. If you have 100-150+ USD jeans I wouldn't wash them either.

 

I wash my 511s every 2-3 months and only inside out and I don't machine dry them. Helps preserve color and prevent shrinking.

 

I wash my jeans all the time and they were 100-150. I don't want the stinking while I'm wearing em
