3Sixteen: 3-month wash.

Coulda sworn I posted this twenty minutes ago, but it posted the Railcar updates with the 3sixteen tags instead.

Whatevs.

Anyway, figured three months is a reasonable amount of time before they needed to be washed. I’m not the type to go years without washing. That just doesn’t seem right.

Post (after a couple of days):

 

Jeans were washed with cold water on a delicate cycle then hung to dry. The denim came out crunchier than they were when they were new and stretched back out within a couple days. They’re still too tight, though, but April 1st is fast approaching so these will be retired.

3Sixteen Update 31 Dec. 2012

I lost track of the number of days these have been worn.

It’s pretty difficult to capture the color correctly, but in person they look very dark – almost – black – and have electric blue fades coming through. If they weren’t so tight in the crotch region they’d get much more wear.

So, I didn’t mention it, but I am currently working on a pair of 3Sixteen x Barneys SL-BNY1 which is a slim straight leg fit. I needed something to hold me over until the superfuture heavyweight denim championship pt. 2 in April and these were lying around in the closet.

Anyway, we decided that the best way to break these jeans in would be out hiking. We took them with us on a trip to Idyllwild, CA for GF’s birthday.

Here’s the trip in pictures:

3Sixteens have 5 days, Railcars have 4 days at this point.

3Sixteens. They need to get hemmed.
