Is there a quick/easy way to get rid of these? I recently copped my first pair of black jeans in a LONG time and I'm seeing all these white marks after wearing them only once.

How often do you guys soak your jeans?

I honestly just wash them whenever they smell funky or if I feel like they need a wash.

I’m working on month three of weekly wear of 3 pairs and haven’t considered washing yet
Gonna wait till 4 months and do a bath tub wash on em unless something makes me wash em sooner

Do you guys just soak your jeans, or do you wash them in the washing machine?

Bathtub soak/agitate/hang dry for me personally but even one of the self edge nyc employees told me he just machine washes on cold so maybe I do too much

Nah, man. You’re good. Selvedge jeans are expensive. I take my time as well. I was just curious what your guys’s methods are. Im sort of new to selvedge jeans. I only soak my jeans, same methods you do, but I never once washed them in the machine.

After the soak and line dry, steamer or regular iron?

Just wash em. If you worried of losing too much indigo then put it in a gentle cycle.

I don’t iron my jeans. I just wear them as is. The wrinkles come off within minutes to hours. It’s stretches back out. Nah, I really take my time for now. Maybe when I stop caring for the jeans I’ll start running through the wash cycle

Being wrinkled might be worse than pineapple on pizza. Distressing and holes are cool though

idk if it was just the Onis (since it was my first and only 20oz denim), but they didn’t feel that thick and heavy. they were pretty wearable for the get go

Maybe next year. I’m going to work with the 16.5 slub I currently have. See how that turns out in a year. Get a better understanding on selvedge denim. I have two other jeans I keep in my rotation that are much lighter, but sort of messed these up in my noob days. Soaked them way too early. It’s still starchy and I think there’s still hope for them. Just gotta see in a few months or so

I just wash my jeans in the machine, use a detergent without color enhancers and take them out before the spin cycle. Soaking is really beneficial if you want to keep your stacks.
I've had raws for 12 years, it's best to just wash your jeans when dirty. Washing can help prevent blow outs too. When I first got into raws I did the tub wash as well, the lack of agitation doesn't clean em very well.

Been trying to figure that out myself. My guess is 12 or 14 based on other jeans I’ve owned.
