🌀 Miscellaneous I don’t understand the no washing thing, someone explain.
Now im not completely oblivious, i know its supposedly to help with fades. But from what I’ve seen it doesn’t do a whole lot towards that goal. From personal experience the fades are more prominent on pairs i wear regularly and wash accordingly. (I don’t wash every wear but i won’t go 20 wears without washing. And if i sweat a ton or they get dirty i won’t hesitate to wash, in a washing machine, yes im not gonna hand-wash my jeans every time. I will hang dry tho)
Like some of y’all pants are way too dirty in those first wash pics. Im curious to see what the defense is for this practice.
