Okay so I accidentally clicked into W&W (I guess it's called You Look Like poo poo for now) and I noticed that there is a denim thread in there. With curiousity I opened this thread and discovered levels of silliness and pretentiousness that I had no idea existed. I mean, I wasn't just flabberghasted that people would pay $100 for a pair of jeans, or that they would give two fucks about appropriate levels of fading. No, what really struck me was the "washing" debate. As in, "when should I wash my pants?" Really? Is this a thing? Perhaps I am very old fashioned and never really jumped on the hipster clothing train but my thought was always 1. Wear pants 2. wash pants 3. hang pants in closet until needed again. That people would go about wearing clothing for multiple days without washing, and who have access to the means of washing their clothing is completely mind boggling to me.

Just remember to peel rhubarb, pull off the outer layer. I suspect some people forget this and complain about it being stringy. Mmm, rhubarb season is just a couple of weeks away :d

Also for someone who likes going off about community killing industrially produced poo poo, you're sure quick to hate on another community for supporting a thing that they find artisanally produced. They are like the Wiggles of denim, you should be loving your own kind.

I buy my pants at the feed store and dirty clothes are meant to be washed. Cowboys, hippies, farmers, and beatnicks have good ideas for the country; suburbanites and marketing specialists are ruining our society. I, I, I........ Arrrrghhhh.................................. I'm going to to go home, help my boy with his covered wagon project, make a good supper with Basque chorizo, go practice with the Spanish choir, and then read the classics. I am going to forget that I ever went into that other subforum today because it's just going to make me upset otherwise.

Wiggles, you can walk into a True Religion store, and easily drop $300 - $400 on a pair of jeans. 7 Jeans, which can run into the $250 range, are also soft as butter, and fit beautifully. $100 for a pair is now edging into "Oh, that's not so bad" territory.  I remember buying my first pair of jeans that I bought on my own (that my mum didn't get for me). I was at American Eagle, and they were having a sale on women's low rise boot cut jeans that fit me like a glove, and cost like $30. I bought two pair, because I hadn't ever had a pair of jeans fit me that well in my life. When they both completely wore out, I cried, because I knew that finding another pair quite like those was going to be drat near impossible. This was roughly 10 years ago now, and I have yet to find another pair quite that perfectly fit. And now, when I go jeans shopping, if I find a pair that I even /like/ for under $75, I'm doing a little happy dance. Also, I wash my jeans after wearing them twice or three times, because I'm bound to get /something/ on them at work. If someone were to tell me /not/ to wash my clothes, I'd give them a dirty look, and keep sending them off to the laundromat.

Mr. Wiggles posted:Thank you. If you have pants that aren't making you sick, aren't trailing grime, aren't visually objectionable, and aren't smelly, why would you wash them? Are your claims of open-mindedness limited to one or two things? Think about what I'm saying because it's easy to just ignore the lesson here. Just like it's easy for normal people to mock your principles and beliefs. Just to reiterate: you are behaving with apoplexy and a lack of desire to understand people who live differently from you. Seriously. Not that jeans are a big deal. Just think about it. No Wave fucked around with this message at 03:52 on May 18, 2012 |

Perhaps, like me, Wiggles is sufficiently stinky that multiple wearings of clothes are not possible in polite company. In winter I'll wear pants twice (not on consecutive days), but as soon as the sunshine hits I become a sweaty ape and have to burn my clothes each week. Don't forget wiggles: hipsters always hang out in air conditioned places. Therefore they can recycle clothes more easily.

I'm not passing judgement on anybody because they spend a lot of money on fashion items or anything like that - I don't always understand it, and I'll make fun of it (just like I expect people to make fun of me for my own eccentricities). But dirty clothes are a different thing. In any case, I haven't ever encountered pants that are't trailing grime/smelly/etc. at the end of the day, with the major and primary exception of suit pants. This is because the mode of their wearing is different. If I'm wearing a suit, then I'm in polite company and not enjoying the occasion of anything that could make the clothing objectionable, and thus a pressing is usually good enough. But if I'm not in a suit for church or a conference or what have you, then there would not be a day that my pants (and shirts, for that matter) would not encounter one of the following: Dust Dirt Engine grease Diesel exhaust Dog hair/slobber Chicken feathers Other animal residues Wood chips/splinters Sweat More dust Stickiness from dirty stage floors Tobacco smoke residue Blood Garden soil Snow/Mud Yet more dust Chassis lube/shock oil/anti-seize/coolant/gear oil of some kind That's not an exhaustive list of course. I'm sure there are many of you who do not live lives such as my own, and perhaps your clothing stays clean for days at a time - if that's the case, then good for you, you don't spend as much on soap as I do. But if your average day is much closer to la mode Afghane, like mine and many people I live and work with, then you can see, maybe, the massive compulsion towards wearing clothes only once before washing if at all possible. I do fully understand that I have a somewhat unique lifestyle, though.

Yes this conversation is stupid, and you're being extremely obtuse if your first thought when reading about people not washing their hundreds of dollars jeans is that they encounter even a fraction of your list.

Obviously all people encounter some dust and dirt but a lot of people encounter it in small enough amounts that they're not going to get their clothing very dirty or smelly on most days. Personally my everyday clothes only comes in contact with small amounts of dust, sweat, and animal hair each day. At work I'm wearing a lab coat when I'm working with any blood or tissues. I come into contact with dirt/grass in the yard but just down at my feet. I sweat more when I'm working out but wear workout clothes for that. I don't go six months without doing laundry but if I consciously tried to delay laundering I could probably go awhile before anything got gross unless I spilled food on it.

I have an "office" job (in my house, and only really dress up for meetings), don't think I have ever worn jeans, and my closet consists strictly of casual shorts and suitpants/dress slacks (well and a few corduroy items  ) but even I pretty much refuse to put on pants two days in a row, because that poo poo stinks. I mean I'll do it if I'm traveling or something and forget to pack enough days of clothes, but I'm not happy about it. I mean maybe it's because I live in the dirty south HOTLANTA or whatever, but after 8-12 hours of existing in a single shirt of pair of pants? that poo poo is dirty, sweaty, my cats have covered it with hair, I've cooked in it, watered plants in it, gone for a run, had sex, dropped trow using the bathroom like however many times... I mean goddamn pants get dirty guys, just sayin.

So that's why hipsters smell so foul. Huh. Learn something new every day. @Wiggles: If I don't dust my apartment at least once every couple of days, everything gets disgusting really quickly. I may not live out in the woods, but the city creates plenty of dust, exhaust fumes from cars, etc etc, and all of it seems to wind up in my apartment. You say what you want, but your clothes are going to get pretty foul even in the big city. I'm betting that these folks who wear those raunchy smelly pants don't really care about how disgusting they are. dino. fucked around with this message at 12:06 on May 18, 2012 |
