How do you was your Levi's (512) ??
It's not raw denim so, along with other dark jeans (UNIQLO), turn inside out, mixed load with other clothes and that's it?
I probably dont need to overthink this, but curious how you all wash your Levi's (non-raw-denim).
Levi's website has this:
1) Turn your denim inside out to protect the color from fading.
2) Make sure the zipper is closed to maintain the shape.
3) Set the water temperature to cold to prevent the fabric from shrinking and the color from fading.
4) Choose a gentle or delicate cycle to avoid unnecessary stress.
5) Use a gentle detergent for darker colors, especially for dark blue or black washes.

I just chuck that shit in there
Ye exactly what I'm thinking lol.
Although when drying, just hang dry right?
Not tumble?
I hang dry now because I don't have a dryer but I would put them in the dryer in the past
Second Charlie I just put it in the wash and dryer
Non raw denim will still fade just to a lesser extent. You can either say fuck it and wash like anything else (dryer or hang dry) or you can wash it on normal with no spin cycle. Spin cycle is what leads to the funky streaks on darker denim.
My non-raws just get thrown in the washer/dryer and I've never had any issues. Some slight shrinkage but they stretch back to 'normal' after wearing them again for a bit
Ye i've also thrown in my UNIQLO jeans like that before and and no issues.
Bought some of my first Levis a few months ago and 1st time washing them now.
Was curious if they were any different.
Thanks!
