Never wash your jeans again!




So being the Pacsun denim specialist I thought i would make my first blog about the denim that all of us wear from Pacsun.
Now I always here the famous line from everyone... "Y'alls denim get stretchy and shrink"
Well this is why. When you purchase your new slim 32'32" jeans, There are a couple of different tags on them. Now im sure most of you rip that tag off, throw it away, and wear your new jeans without ever reading the tag. But if you took and second and read it, you would understand why your denim is shirnking. Because this is what it says
      "This garment requires special care. WEAR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE BEFORE WASHING for authenticity. Laundering will change the appearance and may cause SHRINKAGE. Dyes used may transfer to other garments and upholstery"

So what does all this really mean? It means that Pacsun jeans should not be washed. At least for the first year. Okay, so yeah, that sounds pretty gross. But it doesnt mean they cant be cleaned. They actually tell us that you can take them and have them dry cleaned, or you can but them in the freezer to kill the bacteria. Personally, i own every pair of pacsun jeans that we have, and i never wash them, unless i go out, then i wash, but never dry. Because our jeans do tend to shrink when they are first washed. SOLUTION: Bullhead denim is now 1/2" longer in the length, so no more worries about your pants being to short!


Also the "authenticity" part of the label means this... Pacsuns new denim is in its raw form. There are no fake washing process. So washing them right away will wash a lot of the dyes out. BUT if you dont wash them for AT LEAST 6 months, the dyes will settle on their own, and they will begin to wear on there own. So insteaded of going out and buying a bunch of fake faded out jeans, you wear your bullhead denim and they will fade naturally to the wear of your body. Carry a wallet in your back pocket? Eventually the outline of your wallet will start to show. Make sense? So our denim are about about DYI (Do it yourself) :)

One WARNING though, since the dyes settle into the jeans on their own without washing, they do tend to bleed. So you may have to buy a few extra pairs of shoe strings, because the white ones will turn colors.

So now you know the wear and tear of the Pacsun jeans. Never wash your jeans again :)

  1. I’ve been browsing online more than 2 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all web owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be a lot more useful than ever before.
