Get dirty. After purchasing a “stiff, raw-denim” pair of jeans, wear them as long as you can. The “longer you can go without laundering them,” the more comfortable they’ll be. If you prefer stretch jeans, wash once a week to maintain that “original snug fit.”
Stay true to your blues. To protect the color, always turn jeans inside out when washing. Use a “regular liquid detergent” and never set the water temperature “higher than warm.”
