oh that shit known
dude forgot his belt and asked me what he could use, i told him to fold the jeans at the top or use an ethernet cord
that turned into me telling him i had the jeans i have on now for over a decade
dude was like '0_0 do you wash them? they look brand new!'
i feel validated like shit right now
this pair ain't raw so they still look brand new despite being from the bush era
all my raw denim something lovely too. getting patina around random areas like my wallet mark and little subtle holes and scraps are developing
you don't wash your jeans, you cultivate and develop a relationship with them
