Sunday was a laundry day. Mainly because we just came back from a trip and needed fresh clothing. No jeans were washed but if you are about to wash your jeans, remember to wash your jeans like real people. Shout out to Fredrik from Sivletto/Unionville for pointing us at this video. It’s great!

Jeci Chao has been wearing her Viper X001 Railcar Fine Goods jeans for a good while now. On-off of course but enough to break the jeans in. She did not soak the jeans directly but started to wear them raw. The Vipers come in raw form so for those not used to raw denim, the jeans might feel a bit weird. If the jeans feel like cardboard, the best way to adjust the denim is to give the jeans a soaking. This usually sheds off an inch or two here and there and often really improves the fit. So, being that this is a new brand and we are also curious about the shrinking of the jeans, we gave the size 27 Vipers a soaking last night.

I gave my Copper Label Momotaro Jeans a wash.
