I've been wearing my Levi's 501 STF's for 2-3 days a week for about 6 months now..They don't stink or anything, but should i wash them?

What exactly will washing them do? I like how perfect they fit right now, which is why i didn't want to wash them..

I wouldn't wash them they will lose a significant amount of the dark dye altering the color, and not in a good way. Plus you will lose most of thecolor contrast that creates whiskering and other designs (for lack of better word) cultivated by wear. Also, they will shrink about, idk, something like 2inches in length and inch in width.

To sum it up wear them, febreeze them if they stink, and throw them away if they stink too bad or you feel they are unsanitary. Just keep a couple pairs ondeck 'cuz they are cheap.

If they stink, just wash them. How do you think the people got rid of smells when they jeans were first introduced.

if they're a perfect fit now, just get them dry cleaned. that'll solve it.

How many sizes did you size down?

 

[oh you mad]

How do you prevent bleeding? I coped a pair of black 501s and I don't want them to bleed on my shoes..

 

[cucumbercool]

"oh" you can't. You either wash them immediately to get rid of the excess dye or you can put some tape on the inside of them. Neither is a greatidea imo

you can either cuff your jeans or put tape at the bottom

 

[donpoppa]

black 501s don't really bleed

Does anyone know where I can get some A.P.C New Standards for under $150. Anyone have any online coupon codes that are not expired. I appreciate any help.

They hardly go on sale since they quickly sell out on their own.

 

[gregory house]

The cheapest probably to get A.P.C. is to go to contextclothing.com It's 155 + free shipping.

$151 at Tobi.com with coupon "sforum10"

 

[nologo02184]

it's probably not a great idea to buy apcs online. you really need to try them on, because you've GOT to size them down. i bought my first pair ofpetite standards yesterday, and they have already gotten considerably bigger--though i could barely walk out of the store after wearing them out.

the petite standards don't seem to get a lot of love, but i think they're a good middle ground between the new cures and the new standard. really slim,but not skinny.

also working on breaking in a pair of crate routes.

Sufu & Style forum marketplace.

I'm looking for some denim along the lines of Dior Homme(well cheaper but around the same quality). Not the indigo type more of the lighter colored withfades, etc. I guess this style I'm trying to explain can be seen on Kanye in the past.

I'm not looking for a bootcut, but similar to how a.p.c.s lay over my kicks, which is what I've been wearing for some time

any help?
