you need to clean your ass better if you're pants smell like shit after only a few wears, and you're supposed to wash them when they smell anyways

>>17917474
It depends on where you live. Not everyone lives in hot tropical climate monkeyland where you do have to shower daily, and you would never think about wearing the same pair of jeans again before washing them.

I am a frugal college student so I only have 2 pairs of jeans, 3-4 shirts, a week's worth of underwear, and 2 pairs of socks. I do the laundry once every 4 days when I've run out of clean shirts, I use my pants 2 days in a row. Sometimes I forget so I have to wear a dirty shirt.

It is what it is.

well for one thing, before the proliferation of the mechanical washing machine people didn't wash their clothes all that often anyway.
for another thing, jeans are workwear. you don't launder your workwear every day, you have work to do.

but the denimheads going months or years aren't typical. that's only done in persuit of sick fades. the idea being that you want to keep as much of the original indigo dye in the fabric as possible and only knock it out of high-wear areas.
regular washing will fade the denim much more evenly.
sick fades is a dead trend though but even these guys acknowlege their two year unwashe raws might be smelly so they keep them in the freezer to mitigate it.

who, specifically, is doing this? name them plz. this is just a dumb stereotype. no one does this.

Raw denim heads seeking the ultimate fades, circa 2012. I think it’s mostly a dead trend, aside from a few holdouts in this thread, clearly.

>>17917474
I find that jeans take much longer to smell than other pants. I don't wash mine very often but I'm not extreme about it

>>17917474
are you a time traveler? this meme is over.

>>17917474
>Don't they realize they smell like ass wearing the same jeans for weeks, months or even years?
no they don't. indigo dye is antimicrobial, you didn't know that?
>16 years worn hard
>4 washes
>3/4 washes are because i wore them on septic tank jobs
>never smelled

copped these in 2006

fit matters more than washing routine. you can accomplish denimbro fades with frequent washes simply by re-applying starch to your jeans after washing.

there's a very good reason not to wash even if you don't care about fades:
notice how models in model photos always look goofy as fuck in skinny jeans?
ever notice how your jeans fit tight and have no shape to them after a wash?
that's because denim stretches to accommodate your body, particularly your knees. it takes like 10-30 wears after washing for your jeans to go from shapeless to being shaped like your body. some of my slimmer cut jeans noticably restrict my motion after a wash or when brand new, then after some wears they feel like second skin and i can do everything except the splits in them without any restriction. even with very slim fits made out of heavy denim with no elastine.
this doesn't apply to relaxed fitting jeans though like in my pic, washing those all the time doesn't impact the fit much.

>applying starch to your jeans
eww.

>ever notice how your jeans fit tight and have no shape to them after a wash?
picrel
these jeans have maybe 30 wears on them
look how much they've shaped to my body, you can tell just looking at them laying on my couch how much better they look on me and fit to my body than some formless lifeless jeans that look like they're straight off the goodwill or drying rack.
when i first got these they were so tight i could barely bend my knees level to 90 degrees, now they feel like a second skin and don't restrict any movement whatsoever.

>>17917809
anon most cotton garments and all raw denim is starched when you buy them. its done to make sewing easier.

>>17917819
yeah that's why i wash that shit out. why would you put it back in?

>>17917474

>>17917821
reading comprehension.
i said its a way you can still get denimbro fades (whiskers honeycombs stacks) in frequently washed jeans. i didn't say its a good idea to or anything.

>>17917474
FINALLY someone had the courage to say it

has anyone wearing raw denim ever even once had someone say their jeans smell bad? i never have even when i'm getting my dick sucked in them.
its just as much of a fantasy as someone calling out 2023 tier rep sneakers on the street. it doesn't happen in reality only in the comments section of fashion forums. jeans are dyed with one of the most antimicrobial natural substances that exists. lmbo materials science anons.

Lmaoo

FUCK JEANS

>>17917712
>I think it’s mostly a dead trend,
Some jeans still sell out in like a day when they release

>He doesn't soak his jeans in piss

I heard that a study showed that jeans don't smell different between two day of wearing them and 2 weeks of wearing them. I see no reason to wash them if they don't smell bad desu and I never thought my jeans smelled bad.

>>17917613
Brother I understand you’re in college but save a few bucks and take a trip down to Ross or Marshalls and buy some essential like underwear for super cheap

If you’re an active public transportation user or skateboarder or just active in general, 5 days max or until the pants smell like sweat

>>17918385
...why?

>>17917813
they just look like jeans to me

>he washes his jeans

Jeansfags that say don't wash jeans are the same faggots that say no shampoo. You reek like shit and everyone is too polite to say this.

>>17917803
I don't see what's supposed to be special about those pants denimbro, it looks like some shit I would pass up if I saw them in a bargain bin or something, kinda bumcore. Explain the appeal and show what they look like in you as well and I think that will be enough to help me understand

>>17921400
*on you

>>17918385
Dude that's gren tea, still just as stupid, but not gross.

Anyone know where I can get some good bootcut/flared jeans

>>17921400
>I don't see what's supposed to be special about those pants denimbro
those fades aren't anything special because theyre baggy fitting jeans. i just posted em to flex that i was into raw denim a decade before it was trendy.

>kinda bumcore
well yeah thats the point they have at least 2000 wears on them a lot of that on a construction jobsite, a lot of the fades have worn away.
they're just a much higher end and better made version of the cheap shitty levi's baggy fits zoomers wear right now. the only thing particularly special about that pair is they were one of the first raw denim jeans sold in america, the denim itself is aite.
>show what they look like in you as well and I think that will be enough to help me understand
sure i bought them 17 years ago 15lbs heavier so they don't fit the greatest.

if you don't get ultra high end denim that's fine you're not the market for it. pants you have to wear for a year to look cool is antithetical to trend cycles.

>>17917660
>the idea being that you want to keep as much of the original indigo dye in the fabric as possible and only knock it out of high-wear areas.
Why bother when the average person would just assume you bought them pre-faded?

>>17921451
low end: walmart wrangler/rustler https://www.walmart.com/ip/Men-s-Regular-Fit-Boot-Cut-Jeans/5982555 in rigid (theres also a black raw version)
high end: iron heart h-9461z
not joking about the walmart jeans the cut on them is amazing.

>>17921466
pre-faded jeans that actually look good are $600-3000+
with the exception of stone washing, which looks great and is cheap but those are uniformly distressed its a bit different.

and also the fades will always look better if they are actually aligned with the dimensions of your body
most pre distressed denim looks goofy unless you are the exact same height and thigh to calf ratio they were faded to.

>>17921451
levis 517 comes in rigid too but they're jew jeans if that matters to you

>>17921451
oh and for pre-faded boot cut jeans, RRL or orslow.
my budget option is: only buy stone wash
you get what you pay for with hand distressing, someone actually taking their time with it to make the fades look realistic or nice vs sandblasted at a sweat shop by a greasy mexican.

>>17921467
Can you link the black ones or tell what they are called? Please and thank you.

>>17921485
Also super shi quality would only pickup vintage pairs from thrift or yardsale.

>>17917712
>jeans are a trend
What?

>>17921908
fuck they only have the "coal black" ones in straight cut now https://www.walmart.com/ip/Wrangler-Rustler-Men-s-and-Big-Men-s-Regular-Fit-Jeans/5982368
"coal black" is what wrangler/rustler calls their black warp black weft raws though.
heres another budget indigo option:
https://www.wrangler.com/shop/wrangler-cowboy-cut-bootcut-jean-rigid---slim-fit-jean-0935.html
note these start off lighter and more blue colored than 99% of raws i like it but dont expect dark dark indigo

>>17922204
OK so it's the coal black and the rigid. Thank you, appreciate you for responding. yes sir wearing the cowboy fit non slim as I type to you I really like them. Wearing the heck out of them will purchase another 2 pairs when on sale again. What chinos or other pants around the price range do you recomend.
