I've done the ocean soak, I've done the no wash, I've done the many wash. I just like the experience & enjoy doing goofy sh!t. If someone came on & said they bake their jeans in the oven cause they do blah, blah, blah I'm one of the idiots who would say wow I gotta give that a try or why didn't I think of that. All in all I just enjoy exploring different ways to great looking jeans.

You know, baking your jeans would probably be more effective at killing microorganisms than freezing them.

According to physicists the end of the universe is imminent… :o
Fortunately that's imminent on a cosmological scale, which means tens of billions of years. Looks like we're safe there.

I've always only washed jeans when they smelled or were dirty, and if I were to guess I always will.

Also, I've been wearing my first pair of 634S for over three years now, and they're very nicely faded. The fades aren't forced. They really are from whatever I've doing, and however I'm living. Oh no! a cell phone fade! A wallet fade! A weird blob fade from where I keep my keys in the left pocket. A weird fade where I scratch my balls every day. I also wash them whenever they're dirty, smelly, or feel grimy. I just don't give a fuck. They're Iron Hearts, and they can withstand a fucking washing machine.

I've got one of those on the right side in every pair of jeans I own. I kinda love it.

Same here. I wash em when the are dirty and/or stinky. It can take 2-6 months. One time I washed after 1 week after the last wash, because a kid at the Kindergarten thought it was a good idea to play with his soup, well…
No soaks, I wash em. Back in the days, my first selvedge Levis, I put em in the freezer, think what you want, they smelled better -
I've spent the last couple of days entertaining two American guests from my companies parent company, based in Los Angeles, who amazingly came over to learn from my vast experience ( ). One of the dudes was a senior technical guy who was really interested in my jeans and boots, so over a few beers I told him all about the denim scene and where he could go to look at/ buy this stuff in LA (Self Edge etc…). He spent the following night in his hotel trawling Google and learning about the denim scene, and also worryingly looking into what I do ( :-\ ), net result of which is a free trip to LA for me later in the year under the illusion of "inspecting a production line".....sweet

Yeh I thought so, although the conversation started because he asked me what was wrong with the arcs on my Levis' (I was wearing Samurai's at the time).
When we went out for beers I was wearing my 555's and the IHSH-16 and my Wesco's, all of which super impressed him, his only prior experience of this kind of thing came through GAP and Red Wings.

Great news Mega! Free trip to LA would be awesome.
