^aggitate them while soaking or put them in your washing machine without detergent/ no spin cycle. they should get softer afterwards (not immediately, but after some wear).

I wear them constantly 2-3 days a week since I've got em. I really love the Denimes, but they're not that comfy compared to my LVC 44's e.g. I think I'll try the "dry wash" soon...Thx.

Denime comes heavily starched. regular soaks wont do. Atzec's right on.

lvc 44s are pyjamas. I don't think denime will never be THAT comfortable.

^Hehehe...I like to wear pyjamas

But don't forget, the 1944 LVC's are made of an 10 oz. heavy denim (due to the restrictions in WWII), that's pretty much lighter than the 14 oz. of the Denimes...

is anyone else having trouble with the stitching already?
it started two or three weeks ago (after only 4 weeks of wear), when i had to do these reapirs:





4 days ago i did this:


and today:


i didn´t talk about it, yet, cause i hoped the ripped threads were individual cases, but it seems to get a regular problem for me after only 1.5 months. guess i´ll have to resew the whole jeans, if i want to finish the contest.
