your clothes are filthy

[workerbee222]

Okay, all you kewl dudes buyin' those expensive selvage denim jeans...I know the trend is to wash them as seldom as possible.

Washing them before you bring them in to be patched up is necessary.

[Seshat]

Ewwww.

I wouldn't want to sew dirty clothes either.

I love denim. I've only now had to start replacing my jeans as they've gone to rags over the last 10-12 years. And sadly, the closest Levi comes to the old Silvertab Baggy standard is the 569 variant. But it's just not as comfy as the old baggy sets were. In fact, I had given serious consideration to pulling the seems on an old pair of jeans and making a pattern to make my own sets .

Dafuq?

They're blue jeans. You get them dirty, you wipe pizza grease on them, you rip holes in the knees, you wash them, they fade. They're not the pair of pants to an Armani suit.

Another sartorial trend I do not understand. Smelling and looking like a bum in the name of "fashion."

I admit, I wear my jeans several times between washes. Denim is stiff and it takes a few times of wearing it for it to loosen up and break in. That said, if I spill something on them or I need to repair them, they get washed.

Yeah, they're not like undies that you wear once and then throw in the wash. I only have two pair. I'd be washing one every day if I did that.

And if I'm out with the balloon two days in row (or the 9 days of Fiesta), I'm sure as hell not going to wash them in the afternoon just to get them all dusty again the next day.

I'm guessing from the look and um, smell they are about a year old, and never washed.

They ARE still stiff, but not from being new.

Ugh. That's not dirty . . . that's a biohazard.

Anyone got any red bags?

Do you have any thrift stores or consignment stores in your area? Check 'em out if you do. I get all my jeans at the thrift store. They fit, they're comfortable, they look great, and they cost me around $5 a pair. I recently scored a pair of Lee jeans that looked like they'd hardly ever been worn. I can't find anything either in a retail store or online that comes close to the jeans I find at thrift stores.

I had not thought to try one, but I will now!

[Bloodsoul]

All of my jeans have holes in the crotch.

Im getting ready to retire my 569's as they have ripped across the front of one leg. Cheapest price I can find online is around $42 through Amazon.

Now if I can get my Silver Tabs replaced, but the only place I can find those would be used on eBay, so when I finally had to break down and buy a new pair I went through Woman Within (their jeans aren't bad - just feel slightly thinner than what I'm used to.)

I've got holes in the Silver Tabs on the side, near the back pocket (have to wear something with a long tail to cover it so it won't show) so they are relegated to wearing around the house.

I figure 12+ years of wearing those two pairs (my ST and the 569s) I definitely got more than my money's worth out of them.

But my legs are funny - big calves and no ankles so I have to have a flare or wide leg style (and for a short female such as I it's getting harder to find.)

Ditto, ditto and ditto. I wear a petite size (made for the shortest people) boot cut, and have to roll up the hems with work boots or running shoes, but most of the time wear heels. With a two inch heel they are the perfect length, and since I usually wear boot heels I find it comfortable (as opposed to a pump type or stiletto type heel).

We've started selling these god awful, eye-blinding patterned leggings and like the rest of our god awful clothing are quite popular. Well, I had a lady return two pair today and I noticed that she smelled of smoke. I finished the transaction and tossed the leggings to the side. I was debating whether to put them back to be sold or not when I caught a whiff of the leggings. Yeah, reeking of cigarette smoke. It was more than a little disgusting.

But I just got these jeans trained up to where they could walk me home while I slept and you had to wash them!
