Ive only ever washed 1 pair in the washing machine. It was an older pair that had been washed a bunch of times by hand already, but I also did no spin, and I still got some random lines in them.

After that, it's been by hand every time

The times I w washes in the machine, I turned em inside out, and stopped before spin. No issues… but I’ve only done it once or twice, and pairs that have been previously hand washed.

Bought a couple of pairs on Levi's for half off. One pair (the blue on the right) is selvedge. Glad I went with em because they are distressed but patches so my skin isn't exposed, and it has some cool little turquoise details

Well now my dumb *** wish I had waited to buy all the above since they are doing an additional 50% off sale prices instead of just 50% retail, so everything I bought is cheaper now... but on the bright side I got a 15% off coupon probably because of my last order so I went ahead and ordered a couple more pair of selvedge, including a pair of Blue Tab that are made in Japan. At least I made it to the 5th before breaking my NY resolution of not buying clothes I don't need (which is all clothes).

Can any of you recommend some good stores in Las Vegas that sell raw denim?

Naked and Famous made some "Forever Blue" and "Forever Black" Selvedge, if you can find them.

"Here’s the nerdy part: most traditional denim is rope-dyed, where indigo only saturates the surface of the yarns, leaving the core white. This is what gives raw denim its iconic fades. The Forever Black Selvedge skips this entirely. Instead, it uses reactive dyes, which chemically bond to the cotton fibers at a molecular level.

This creates a color that’s locked into the fiber itself, rather than just sitting on the surface. The result? A fabric that holds its deep black tone over time, resisting fading even with heavy wear and washes. For those who don’t want their jeans to fade but still want that raw denim look and feel, this process is a game changer."

Like the fading on my PBJs after 4 years and a handful of washes
