    The gap selvedge denim jeans fit me perfectly. Anyone know of any higher end selvedge denim that fits like gap?
    First page! I have owned the Gap selvedge and it is...well you get what you pay for with major name brands like the Gap. Buy a pair from this link below, follow the sizing guide and you will be super happy! You gain 1" normally in waist band stretch from wearing over time(2 weeks-month). Or dip JUST the waist band in water and wear till dry.

    Great models: American sixteener, Blue Line 2, American Standard, Grey Silk(this model will sell out in a day or less).

    Sign up with this link and you save some money on your first order:
    Shop American made menswear at wholesale prices. We make selvedge denim jeans, button downs and jackets using the highest quality fabrics available.

    ^This-

    While I don't buy the $100 pairs, I have one pair of 559 levis that I have washed maybe 4-5 times in the last year, cold water, never hit the spin cycle and air dry. I'd rather lounge in those then a pair of sweats any day.

    Thoughts from the jean gods appreciated as these jeans aren't cheap and if i can extend the life of them, bully for me.
    Some say freezing them is just a myth, I do not have a lab to test for bacteria growth before and after...but leaving my jeans on the clothing line when it is below zero out always makes them super fresh and clean smelling. Then if you need to clean them because of food or something getting on them; depending on level of clean you need you can do a soak(cold-warm water) with some woolite black detergent(Walmart carries it). Weight the jeans down with some small rocks etc for around 1hr then hang dry.

    When my GF met me a year ago she was skeptical of how I took care of my jeans and she always thought it odd that I would wear the same pair everyday and just see how they changed over them time with her. She respects the time and loves how soft the jeans are, they do not smell sour or have a weird smell. There is something special about taking a pair of raw blue jeans and breaking them in to make whiskers, combs and stack fades that crease when you sit down and such, like leather the jeans become your own not some ugly distressed jeans from a designer in China armed with sandpaper and a washing machine filled with rocks.

    Put them in the freezer for a couple days. Kills the bacteria from my meat sweat. Didn't wash my jeans for over a year and they turned out great when I finally washed them. No pics sadly. All the wear marks came out perfect

    Turn them inside out before you wash them.

    Not sure what's more amazing, this ^ or the fact that I just read through every page....

    So if we're gonna be little metro's for a second and talk fashion on a car forum, might as well use to my advantage and have a question answered by those of you that care way more about this than I:

    I've quickly worn out about a half dozen pairs of the only jeans that fit me (Diesel/Zathan/LowRise/Bootcut) before realizing your not supposed to wash and definitely not supposed to dry jeans. Always done both frequently.

    So if your not supposed to wash them, what am I supposed to do after I stink 'em up? Maybe I'm smellier than most, but after a couple weeks of rotating 3-4 pair -- they smell. Not so much like a fart or BO.. they just have that not so fresh smell.

    just ordered a new pair of Rogue Territory jeans. 15oz. is about as heavy as I'll go for everyday wear. And I typically won't wash a pair of jeans for at least 6 months.

    Shit. When did I become such a diva.
    What Rogues did you buy? pics?!

    This is my next jacket! It is a thing of beauty.

    I'm kinda slim-hipped, so I usually rock a pair of 28/30's they fit just right in the legs and thighs without being too hipster
    and all my guy friends say my butt looks really cute in them too
