It's been awhile since I promised to upload the progress of my raw jeans. Well, it took me so long really because I didn't see any significant progress in my jeans. Maybe I'm just being a little bit impatient as it takes as long as 1 year to truly break into your jeans.
For the past 8 weeks I have ran in them, walked in them, slept with them and the signs are starting to show. There are
already signs of fading, it really felt like it has been more than a year since I bought them. They also got a litle bit shinier for reasons not known to me, though another denim freak has reported the same with his pair of Dr Denims.
The blue dye also bled on some of my stuff, especially evident on my shoes and belt. Another thing that comes with constant wearing and running and walking and all other physical activities is sweat. My jeans are starting to smell abit bad, just a tad bit. One of the solutions provided by the denim geeks is that
to kill the smell temporarily, thy shall puteth thy jeans into thy freezer. If the smell gets real bad, another solution is dry cleaning to get rid of smell without getting rid of the layer of starch. For now, the smell is still minimal, so I will keep on wearing them for another 2 months or more until the smell is too bad for me to go into public.
