A Great day in Queens to Wash Jeans

So last year I started reading up on denim, and slowly got into it. I started with a pair of A.P.C's last summer, and tried to wear them as much as possible, though for the last few months I didn't stick to that regimen. Whatever the case, it's been roughly a year since I got them and I finally decided to soak them, they were in dire need of it. Here's the pics of before, in the soak, drying, and after. Not much of a difference came out of it fade wise, but I guess because it was just a soak. Next time I'll machine wash them and see what happens. Without further ado, here are the pics.

Next Was the Soak. I might have put a bit too much woolite.

Not a big difference I guess, but I'll see what happens next time.

  1. what up,

    thanks for coming thru the page.
    machine washing makes them fade more than soaking especially if you use regular detergent rather than woolite cuz woolite is made to retain color.

    here was my pair i wore for 8 months straight
