-18C (0 F):
The temperature that freezers should be running at. Freezing does not destroy bacteria, pathogens or their toxins and spores. In a freezer bacteria are merely in a state of suspended animation or a hibernation state. They will not multiply, but nor will they die.
65C (149F):
Most bacteria will start to die at this temperature
70C (158F):
The internal temperature of jeans should reach this to ensure any bacteria has been destroyed.

allahfrog,

somebody's been reading superfuture hahahahaha.

that's the oldest trick in the book.

Yeah, febreeze is better, but in a pinch, freezer works somewhat! Guilty as charged, I am a sf and other spots addict, Shastaman. Shit, I could have been talking to a famous wakeboarder and not even known it all this time.

I don't have a dryer so how do I retighten jeans without washing them?

― roc u like a § (ex machina), Monday, 13 November 2006 03:40 (nineteen years ago)

Soak in hot water in tub/bucket/sink.

― ALLAH FROG (Sleepy), Monday, 13 November 2006 03:41 (nineteen years ago)

how do you avoid color fading while trying to reshrink?

― sometimes my entire life be like DAMNNN! (tehresa), Monday, 13 November 2006 03:43 (nineteen years ago)

SOAK IN HOT PAINT IN TUB/BUCKET/SINK.

― Smegma Pi (plsmith), Monday, 13 November 2006 03:48 (nineteen years ago)

bring a 12oz. bottle of white wine vinegar to a boil and then throw in a LUKEWARM tub. then dump your jeans in ice cold water (ie water with ice cubes) after the lukewarm soak.

no soap, and god no febreze. no chemicals.

this is only if you're jeans are completely filthy though. never wash your jeans, esp. if they are dyed with indigo vegetable dye.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Monday, 13 November 2006 03:49 (nineteen years ago)

thank you steve shasta, lord of denim preservation!!

― sometimes my entire life be like DAMNNN! (tehresa), Monday, 13 November 2006 03:53 (nineteen years ago)

now i'm scared to buy my first pair of jeans in ten years. what if i can't take care of them?

god, you people are so gay for your jeans!

― b-minus time traveler (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 13 November 2006 03:56 (nineteen years ago)

Recommend sizing down to begin with, if stretching is a real problem. If you for some reason absolutely must use soap, get something like Sugarcane or Samurai's. You're a vinegar evangelist, huh, Shasta?

P.S. Steve, tell your bros to get their shit back together, Japan is kicking their ass.

― ALLAH FROG (Sleepy), Monday, 13 November 2006 03:56 (nineteen years ago)

This jeans talk is insane. Buy several pair of Levi's on sale at Penny's. Wash medium with t-shirts. Dry cool. When worn out , wait for next $20 Levi's sale, throw old ones away, repeat.

― milo z (mlp), Monday, 13 November 2006 04:21 (nineteen years ago)

but what if i want $160 jeans from nordstroms?

― a name means a lot just by itself (lfam), Monday, 13 November 2006 04:37 (nineteen years ago)

seeing as how my last (and only) pair of pants cost $0.90, i think i could justify it to myself

I dunno what you are wearing, Shasta, but any of the current [blah blah blah] quality Japanese brands. Dior Homme isn't bought for the denim, which is okay but nothing great, but for the cut/style. I'd be curious to hear more about whatever this secret [blah blah blah] stuff is, though I have a hard time buying that it can make the high end Japanese denim seem inexpensive, as already that hits 500 and up easily.

― ALLAH FROG (Sleepy), Monday, 13 November 2006 04:54 (nineteen years ago)

steve shasta, what is your take on the following:

1. evisu
2. criminal
3. GAP JEANS

shasta can you recommend some jeans with a slim but not skin-tight fit for someone tall in the $125-175 range?

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Monday, 13 November 2006 05:04 (nineteen years ago)

i buy used jeans for no more than $8 per pair.
i also didn't appreciate the OUTRAGEOUS nature of steve shasta's jeans.

get jaxon on that shit.

― calvin johnson has ruined rock for an entire generation (orion), Monday, 13 November 2006 05:08 (nineteen years ago)

I know about Self Edge, they and BiG are great and I'm happy to see such stores hit the US. They are still overpriced though, compared to buying from Japan if you can. For 500+, I was mainly referring to pairs that are pure veg indigo, and often limited runs or something like 45 RPM's Jomons, not what I've paid for jeans like Canes/Samurais! I'd def be interested, next time I'm in Cali, Shasta, and would love to see [blah blah blah] put out and market something that can compete with the best of Japan.

I'd recommend avoiding Evisu, LF, they do put out some quality denim, but the painted on birds kind of shit all over it. Also, there are better buys to be had for what they cost now. PBJ XX-005s would be one good option for you, though they will be > $175 by a bit unless you know someone in Japan who can help you out, in which case they should be ~$170ish shipped.
