Do jeans NOT GET DIRTY

[SneakerProSr.]

I would buy a new pair before I wore a pair of washed denim

@ y'all.

I usually wash my rotation once a month.

Those of you who wear STF 501's know that once you wash them, they are never the same. I used to go 6 months before I dry cleaned them. Now I wear a rotation of jeans that get washed every month.

Personally, I hate the feel of newly washed jeans. I really only wash my prewashed jeans whenever I feel like they are getting really dirty (which is maybe like 2-3x a year).

you nasty.

This will be a never ending topic in the annals of Niketalk

Gonna see a thread like this made in 2063

I wash my jeans, cold cycle with Woolite Dark and hang dry.  They don't lose their "luster" and I don't feel like a hobo.

EDMONTON - A University of Alberta student has discovered through science that a current fashion trend is safe, but can be a little stinky.

Josh Le donned the same pair of skin-tight jeans for 15 months without washing them. The idea was to break in the raw denim so the fabric would hug the contours of his body, leaving distinct wear lines and creases.

Curious about the health risks of wearing such a grubby garment, Le asked his textile professor to test the jeans for bacteria before he washed them for the first time.

The results showed high counts of five different kinds of bacteria in the denim, but nothing that posed a health hazard.

"I was blown away. I thought there would be a lot more bacteria than was present," Le said Wednesday. "It sort of shows that it is OK to not wash jeans."

Raw or dry denim is not washed or treated with chemicals when it is manufactured. The dark indigo pants are as stiff as cardboard. It's trendy to wear the tight jeans without washing them in the hope the indigo will wear away at stress points in the fabric. When the jeans are finally washed, they leave wear patterns that are as personal as a fingerprint.

Human Ecology professor Rachel McQueen said the highest recordings of bacteria were found in the crotch of the jeans at 10,000 units per square centimetre, with lower readings in the back and front of the pants.

But the colonies were normal skin bacteria and did not include dangerous E. coli.

"I didn't see any evidence of those, but that could be very unique to Josh. I mean, he wore underwear, which can be helpful," she said.

Le said some of his friends were disgusted by his jeans experiment, but others were very understanding.

He said his dingy denim even became a good way of meeting new people.

"Some people really liked it, but some people were completely grossed out by it," he said. "I was able to meet a lot more people and have a lot of good conversations. It was like, 'hey, nice jeans."'

Despite his best efforts to keep his jeans clean, Le said he still managed to spill food on them. He also wore them on hot days. He figures he wore them well over 200 times during the experiment.

He acknowledged the denim did get pretty ripe. His solution was to toss them in his freezer whenever they got too smelly.

"There were times when it had a bad odour, like in the seventh month," Le said. "That's when I threw it in the freezer and magically when it came out it was odourless."

McQueen said what was most surprising was a second test she did on the jeans after they were washed and Le wore them again for another 13 days. The results were about the same.

She said while the bacteria didn't pose a risk for a healthy, strong young person, she recommends that people wash their jeans more often - at least once a month.

"I would suggest washing your jeans more frequently. But that is more for control over the odour," she said.

"If people are just being lazy, perhaps odour could become a problem and they may lose friends rather than gain friends."

I just febreeze em, or sometimes i iron them under a dryer sheet.

I'm sorry but this is #@!$!*# disgusting.  That's like not bathing but spraying on cologne and thinking you're clean and fresh.

Some of y'all should seek help, seriously.

 

[kangaroobombs]

Why are y'all so worried about someone else's jeans?

yeah like, if you're gonna treat your jeans like that, why not do the same with your other clothes? how about never wash your shirts? or never wash your socks? never wash your underwear LOL

disgusting...



the whole 250 dollar raw denim thing is pretty gross. so how does it work exactly? enlighten me... you buy "raw unwashed" sandpaper denim, where them a hundred times, never wash them, then get cool natural distressed designs in them?

 

[knnyngo]

^ that's the idea.

Ludacris never said that. Nah just foolin

But yeah, I washed my jeans once since I got them a month or two back. I need to wash them soon though because they feel a little loose.

 

[smash adams]

you guys stay worrying and complaining about the next dude

 

[nawlinsjunkie]

Personally I don't wash my jeans that often...I wash mine every 10 wears or so, depending on how much I've worn them. Usually I only wear my jeans for a couple hours max a day though, so I feel like it's a waste of laundry $ to be washing them every 2 wears 
You can't compare washing them to washing underwear...you wear one piece of underwear for 12-24 hours vs a few hours for jeans

lol... there was this one kid from Illinois I met at a camp a few years ago who rarely washed his head, and wore the same underwear for at least 3 days in a row.

There was one time when we found a damn tick in his hair. 

Kid was rich too so it wasn't like he was poor and couldn't afford proper hygiene.

Needless to say, our counselor turned him into a less-disgusting kid.

 

[ac4three]

I virtually never wash my jeans...

 

[an dee 51o]

I have one pair of jeans that I've worn for the past two years. Probably washed them around 6x. I wear khakis to work every day so they don't even get very much use.

 

[speakup23]

Probably wash my jeans every 2 weeks with the rest of my clothes.

And if a pair I want to wear is dirty between that period, Ill just soak them and hang them to dry over night.
