In this video, we're guided by Scott Morrison, the founder of denim maker 3X1, on how to best care for your newly purchased pair of jeans. Several years ago, I wore my jeans constantly without washing them, but that is something I'll probably never do again. Then, one of the suggestions I got in the clothes shop was to lay the jeans in a bag and put them in the fridge for awhile to remove the smell, but to never wash, only damp. I must admit, the denim got lots of charachter and looked nice, but I prefer to feel clean. Maybe I should give Scott's tips a go?!
Here is the recap – How to wash denim:
- Soak inside out in a cold water bath
- Place soaked jeans between two towels
- Roll it up to remove excess water
- Hang up the jeans to dry overnight
- Place in dryer for 15 minutes to loosen
