those look dope as fuck. I wouldn't wash desu because it looks like the fades and whiskers are already quite contrasted. I'd give them a quick lukewarm soak just to tighten them up again

>>12364198
Thanks! I really got to wash them though, they've been through quite a lot, and now there's a significant amount of dirt inbetween the fibers

>>12364174
What brand is it?

Denim already looks pretty faded so expect to look susbstantially faded after the wash. Use Woolite dark if you still want to maintain the indigo color.

Brand is Livid Jeans. Good tip for the washing, thanks. I might do a hand-wash without any detergent also

I think they'll come out nice once they're washed. Right now they are grimey and dirty as fuck

First wash was the first day i wore them, got ketchup spilled on them in high school

just wore them casually for years, never too heavy... they are so thin a new hole develops almost every wear

attached is a pair since 2012 that now is getting a lot more wear

APCs are bretty gud. Construction sucks, but the fit and fades are fantastic.

And my new Onis. These are really sick, I love wearing them. Pictures don't do the denim justice.

Seems I have to go online and buy some woolite

>>12364174
how can you stand to wear them so long and not wash them?

what's the point of not washing them?

>>12364494
are those PNS?

>>12364773
>>12364785
what's your impression of these? oni seems like an interesting raw denim brand

>>12366074
It's difficult the first couple of months, and then you hit a point where you get accustomed to the feel and smell off them. It's a bit disgusting I'll agree. I do dry them, air them out and freeze them from time to time.

The point being the denim is raw, so the fades and contours you gain before the first wash are the most significant ones.
Basically it's the pre-wash phase that's most important. The longer you go, the more fades and little details.

why did apc discontinue new cure?

>>12364174
i have a pair of apc raws i wear all the time
dont plan on ever washing them because i love how dark they are and theyve hardly faded. when they smell i put em in the freezer

i love that they dont look like shit, but i can still wear them to shows or whatever. definitely my most worn pants even though im falling more and more for memochrome

>and then you hit a point where you get accustomed to the feel and smell off them
yeah the problem is you smell like a fishy ballsack and shit stench to everyone else around you for a quarter mile
