I'm so sorry that people who wash their jeans not as often as you like get you so riled up.

WTF? People actually freeze their jeans?

I actually seen and smelled those in person. I have no idea why Naked & Famous released those jeans, but they are still raw denim. You shouldn't be washing raw denim after ever wear...
Raw denim smells fine, sulfur dyed threads smell terrible. Like... Well, sulfur.
Sometimes I freeze my suits because they're literally the most important part of my personality. Brushing the crumbs off and deal with that pesky "freezer" smell is the price I pay for blandness.

I freeze my jeans if they smell bad, i try to wash them every 9 months minimum.

According to the article it does, to the naked eye at least. *bursts out laughing*
God. The economy can't suck THIS bad, right? Wash your jeans, if they fade then donate them to a homeless shelter and buy new fucking pants.
People that treat jeans like a $10000 Italian suit are weird.
I wear jeans, wash them and throw them away when they get worn out. The whole idea of jeans is that they are durable pants ment to take abuse. I really don't understand the sub culture of fretting over jeans.
They are FREAKING jeans!

So that's why my black jeans smell like ass and my cheap ass jeans smell normal.
Is it your job that makes you this uptight? You come off as unnecessarily hostile in a ton of threads. A vacation might do you good man.
What? Normal=weekly? I don't think so.
I have an $800 pair of overalls. I don't work in them, but they're distressed to look like I work in them. I don't wash them, because that would ruin that worked-in look, so instead I keep them in a chest full of dry ice every night and in the morning, when I put them on with the skillfully unravelled straw hat I keep in a hermetically sealed hyperbaric chamber, all the other farmers look at me like I'm cock of the god damn walk.

I freeze my blankets for about 20 minutes on super hot days.

i've been begging for over 5 years.
I wash my clothes after I wear them. I have a laundry basket in my bathroom that I deposit my clothes from the day in. On Sunday I wash the clothes that are in the laundry basket. This is not normal?
Yep perfectly normal. But normal people don't visit eatsleepdemin.com
You don't freeze the laundry basket even a couple of times before you wash the clothes within?!
I do exactly this, so if it's wrong then fuck what's right.
Stop buying your jeans at 7-11, and you might understand.
*brofist*
When I wake up late and all I have is a room full of clothing that I've been wearing for 9 months straight, I smell each one, and if they're too rank I make use of a special device I invented that soaks them in liquid nitrogen for fifteen seconds so I can just brush the frozen drops of ball sweat right into a gallon jug I keep by my bed. What, you throw out your ball sweat? Loser.
And if I run out of clothes by Sunday, I wear clothes from the laundry basket.
I think some people are getting the wrong idea about why people do the freezing. With raw denim, the longer you wear the jeans without washing the better the fades and creases will be when they finally get washed. Freezing just keeps them from smelling while you are waiting to wash.
I get that it's a little weird but some people are into wearing nice jeans. Wearing $15 wrangler dad jeans from Wal-mart is just as weird IMO.

That's what I do man, never even really considered doing it any other way.
So you clean coats and jackets after each wear?
No way, coats and jackets clean themselves outside on my way to work.

the point of freezing your jeans is NOT to preserve water...
Everyone freaking out in here overlooked the part where it said "raw denim"
There's a subculture for everything out there...watches, hats, shoes. They're just freaking accessories!
No. Socks, undies, undershirts after each wear. Jeans once a week. Jackets/suits/other dry-clean only stuff to the dry cleaners as needed.
So you're saying I shouldn't freeze my wranglers?

Coats and Jackets get dry cleaned at the beginning of the season and end of the season for storage. Unless there is a catastrophic spill or otherwise dirty of course.
Why not? Would coats have as much dirt, grime and bacteria as jeans after a month of wear?

That's cause N&F are on some kind of mission to make a jean out of every conceivable material and have crossover products with every niche denim label under the sun. Last pair I saw was woven with Kevlar and was like 24 oz. or something :l
Anyway, anyone who hasn't owned a pair of nice raw denim jeans probably wouldn't understand. I think owning a high quality, nice fitting, and ever evolving piece of clothing is pretty awesome.

I think owning clean clothing is fucking amazing.
lol I love how there is no middle ground with obsessive fashionistas.
Either you have $500 can't wash jeans or you shop at walmart.
The jeans I have on right now cost $100. Is that expensive enough for you?
I wash my denim jeans after every other wear.
I don't want to wear some greasy ass stretched out pants because I'm afraid of slightly damaging them during the cleaning process.
I don't mind the denim freaks, I just don't give a shit like they do. I have more important things to worry about. Like my NeoGAF post count.

You should be aware that there isn't really any guideline to how long you ought to wear jeans before washing them. Even raw jeans. It's generally adviced to wait 6 months before your first wash, but some people will wash them every month anyway, some people will just wash them like anything else, and just enjoy the cut and quality of the garment. Don't see what the problem is broham.

Their is only 1 reason to put cloths in the freezer if you have GUM in them and you can't get it off anymore.
Freeze it and it practically falls off.

Wow, you people that wash your jeans after each wear, or even after each week are weird.
I can see people freaking out about freezing jeans, but different people have different interests, and raw demin is just as acceptable to collect as games or pennies or watches.

I'd go by brand, not price tag. What's the brand?
