Yes, in general I was asking how often, just to clean them. WOW! I guess I am washing them to often. I guess I need to stop that. They normally don't smell when I throw them in the washer. I have to re-think this.Originally Posted by lcordaro
depends on what you want. if you have raw denim (this applies a little less to washed), then a lot of ppl go 6 months or more before the first wash. then as long as they can between washes. maybe every 3-4 months. of course this is if you want a certain look (faded, whiskers, honeycombs, etc). lately i think more and more that ppl are all doing the same thing and while everyone gets their own fades and whiskers, i think it's all kind of the same look and ppl are too religious about it. so do what you want with your clothes. i'd still suggest not washing denim all that often just so you don't weaken the fabric too much (well more about the dryer than the washer, but still).Originally Posted by seoulfully

I'm going to follow up with a question of my own: what about dry cleaning? I'm in the tropics where **** happens very quickly, and my APCs are smelling after 3 weeks of moderate to high wear. Planning to take them to the nearby dry cleaners, but before i do that, does anyone have suggestions? Any instructions i should give the cleaners, should i turn my pants inside out, tell them that the jeans will bleed if they touch water SO DON'T EVEN THINK OF IT...stuff like that.Originally Posted by tweedlesinpink
