Dryers suck. Eating tons of energy and still taking forever, and it´s a real strain on the clothes.

Air dried jeans are always all hard and stiff. I love putting on a nice, fresh, hot, soft pair of jeans strait out of the dryer. It makes my balls and butt-cheeks feel great, and I'm not even trying to be funny when I say that. It feels really, really good.

Dryer. Jeans are supposed to be weathered.

Good to see someone has the balls to delve into the deep topics. Big fan of selvidge denim and you have to air dry that or it gets limp and dull like a 7-11 hotdog.

Those who have a dryer, raise your hand if you get engry when the wife puts it in the dryer, because you want iot air-dried.

depends on the labels. My Hellokitty/evisu are hang dry all my other skater brands just get thrown in the dryer inside out as there usually pre shrunk. Ive found the higher the price the more likley its not preshrunk and you just need to drip/hang dry.

Depends on the weather outside.

edit: Where's the -I don't- opinion in the poll?

Dryer. Doing laundry is tedious and annoying, even with machines doing most of the work for me; I can't be bothered to hang shit up.

Dryer. Christ, almost a dead heat now.

How exciting.

Man, I hang everything up - t-shirts, polos, jeans. Cold wash keeps your colors darker longer and generally makes everything look better. ESPECIALLY selvidge denim jeans. 501's - that's the only stuff I throw in the dryer. They look good beat.

Dryer.

Largely because $20 jeans from Big Box Department Store #123 in Suburbian Mall #456 are not really worth the increased time, effort and space air-drying requires.

Do you guys own laundry machines, or you go to a laundry store to wash your clothes?

Ozymandiaz1260 · Post by **Ozymandiaz1260** » Wed Aug 27, 2008 7:44 pm

I don't think we even have a laundromat in my city...

EDIT: Well, apartment complexes around here all have their own laundromats, but you can only use them if you actually live in the building. Usually if you rent or buy a house it comes with a washer, dryer, stove, and fridge anyway.

When I was at university I always used the dryer, it made my jeans look all hip and cool what with fading so quickly. But now i'm a basement dweller (figuratively speaking, my parents don't have a basement) there is enough room to hang stuff up to dry, plus my parents dryer isn't very good.

Dryer. I hate stiff jeans.

I'm curious as to how often you wash your jeans? If I wash them once a week I feel like I'm overdoing it.

Necronopticous · Post by **Necronopticous** » Wed Aug 27, 2008 10:04 pm

Once a week.

Pixel_Outlaw · Post by **Pixel_Outlaw** » Wed Aug 27, 2008 10:26 pm

I wear them for about 2-3 days before washing them in my parents' washing maching.

Each hour a washing machine is run a whale beaches itself and sings sad whale songs.

Laundromats aren't very common here either. And washers and dyrers are damn expensive.... it isn't common to find people who own dryers, that's why I thought the question was kinda weird. Some people don't even own washers, and clean their clothers in the old-school way

What kind of forum is this that no one has said "my hot ass"

seriously what are you all, gay?

EDIT: I see now that it's Gaijin Punch's fault for neglecting the obligatory comedy option.

GaijinPunch · Post by **GaijinPunch** » Thu Aug 28, 2008 11:43 am

Cool. So the statement, "nobody in the world dries their jeans in a dryer" was of course a load of horse shit. I wish sometimes I wasn't told with such conviction.
