As long as possible. Most people won't do a wash until at least 6 months, I'm planning on a year or so if they don't get too dirty.

i see, thanks man, i don't even wear them everyday, at most 3-4 times a week, so i guess i should wait a year.

how should i wash it to get the best contrast? without using sand.

thanks.

Jus wash em with cold or hot water with a dry. Cold water water won't shrink em as much as hot water would

Tagged 32. Petites are really tapered so they might be really tight from the knee down if you got big calfs

Can't be be bothered to look through 600 pages for answers so, does anyone know if it's possible to reduce hip flare? Or does it gradually go away with more wear?

^i'd say at least 8 months unless they're straight grimey from wearing them hard. the most i ever do in mine is run around or shuffle, which isn't really anything. i'm actually thinking of wearing them a bit over summer then go for a ocean wash before it gets cold

I'm gonna need some advice.

I'm still new to this whole raw denim gig because I'm sorta bored of wearing my diesels and rocks. I recently sold my nudie average joe because it was too baggy for me in the thigh area so
im planning to slim down. I've been asking around and people are telling me to apc because its the best bang for you money? I went on the site from the first page and I came across the new standards, how do they fit in comparison with the average joes? Any inputs would be greatly appreciated.
