Try it... They don't stink. Turn them inside out and hang them up at night if you need to.

i think it helps that some of these members don't live in humid environments, which would be problematic for not washing.

Put a dryersheet in your backpocket. fold them and set them in your icebox for an hour or so. hang them or lay them over your toilet(a chair etc) when you take a shower.

there are plenty of ways to prevent them from smelling like ass.

the best way is to change your underwear and shower daily. Think of it like this, how often do you wash your shoes? What about your jackets? I don't wash my shoes, nor do i wash my jackets weekly or as often as some wash their jeans and they don't stink. Why would jeans be any different unless you crapped your pants or something?

When it rains though its disgusting. It looks like everythings been crapped on. The rain unsettles the sand and dirt which is on everything, its gross.

Which is slimmer between nudie slim jim and bootcut ola ? Is the bootcut significant on bootcut ola ?

 

[drizzt3117]

I think the Bola is a bit slimmer, and they are basically straight leg.

Can anyone comment on the fit of the Nudie Long Johns? I have a pair of Low Slim Jims as my only point of reference.

Stretchier, much slimmer, longer hem, more tapered, much lower rise.

Just got a pair of Levi's STF Eco Selvage and was wondering if it was best to wear them during the hot soak (i.e. sitting in a tub).

How long should I soak them for?

Thanks Drizzt. Apparently the ola is going to be discontinued soon as it doesnt sell. I guess maybe because its very lowrise

well, unwashed (and all premium) denim seems to not get stinky as easily as regular jeans, in my experience. Also, if you start to notice a smell, put dryer sheets in your pockets over night, use plenty of febreeze, or just go ahead and wash them. Some people wash their jeans once a month or even more often, and make a pretty strong argument for why you should. Others go 8 months to a year without washing them. It all depends on what you're comfortable with.
To quote the kitsch written on the inside of Crate Denim jean pockets, "...washing jeans is bad. Not as bad, however, as your girlfriend not making out with you because your pants smell. Your call."

Poetic and insightful. Fuckin' eh, Robbie.

Can we make "How do I look in..." and "Tell me what to buy..." threads so I don't have to see new posts like that every day? Though, I guess technically, all of that stuff belongs in here doesn't it?
