@grimblegromble agreed, a more refined palate would get one whiff of old navy jeans and recognize the scent profile is far inferior to that from a fresh pair of levi’s or wranglers
@grimblegromble For me it’s wash once per 3 or 4 wears. If something gets on them or I can smell them, I stop wearing them until they’re clean. I don’t actually do the washing because I’m a child and wait for my wife to do it.
@PantHeist “Raw denim is best given a good six months before washing. The longer you can leave it, the better your jeans will look.”
“The reason for this is that the indigo will have worn off in places where you make natural creases. Just by sitting down, putting your phone in and out of your pockets, your hands in your pockets. All these daily little things will make your jeans look great.”
@PantHeist I live in Florida… You absolutely must wash your jeans. Not necessarily every time if you only wear them for a few hours.
I worked with a guy that didn’t wash his jeans. I could smell him 20+ feet away.
I heard somewhere you could freshen up denim without washing it by storing it in a chest freezer between wearings to kill off stinky bacteria. But I have never tried it.
The video demonstrates obvious pants sniffing. Maybe she wanted to be sure it wasn’t a “mean girls” moment when the others gave her the pants. Be sure they didn’t spray them with skunk or something.
For those who may not have noticed: THE T-SHIRT! From Spike’s Keg-O-Nails in Grayling, Michigan. One of the northland’s sleaziest watering holes, with a great back-story. You haven’t lived until you’ve experienced a Spikeburger. (Of course, you may not live all that long after eating one, either…)
I’m not sure but I am sure that she is a talentless hack.

@harrison Good Point!
@grimblegromble She thinks she is funny though
Amy Schumer can sniff my pants any day of the week, and twice if I’m wearing them.

@matthew, how dare you tease me with the Showbiz Corner music but not give me Showbiz Corner
I guess I’ve lost my bet that no one would recognize it
I rewear pants, so yeah. Only tshirts, socks, and underwear get washed between each wear.

@PantHeist Do you have any raw denim? You never wash them.
@grimblegromble I had some raw denim pants that I never washed; after 2 years of wear, they stood up and simply walked out on me.
@grimblegromble No. My logic is just that if it’s clean why bother? My legs don’t put off enough of anything over the course of a day to concern me.
@PantHeist I’m a wash either after two or three wears kind of guy and I wear pants all year long.

@grimblegromble @PocketBrain Why can’t you wash raw denim? I’ve heard that you can’t and did a very brief internet search about it, but I don’t get it.

@grimblegromble I read that one. So, for the “pickpocket here” lines?
@PantHeist Also so they stretch more to your contours. But yeah. Sometimes people put a can of dip in there and that looks cool.
@thismyusername Is that from Portlandia?
@ruouttaurmind Definitely is. Portlandia was my only exposure to raw denim before this thread.

@matthew My flatmate did until I put my foot down about him storing his stanky britches on top of my frozen waffles. Just, no.
@PantHeist I despise that show, but it’s amusing clips like this which keep drawing me back from time to time.
@ruouttaurmind yuck! It does seem like you’d want them in a freezer bag
@RiotDemon I lived in Georgia for 6 months. A/C went out in June and I moved. I have no idea how you deal with the heat.
@ruouttaurmind I used to know people who behaved just like the characters, so it always is good for a laugh for me.
@PantHeist I don’t go outside unless absolutely necessary.
@RiotDemon Is that some sidequest that I haven’t gotten yet?
@PantHeist
If the A/C goes out and isn’t repaired within 24 hours, they just destroy the building and start over.
@f00l I actually laughed out loud.
@grimblegromble which part? Coming to Florida or being so stinky that someone can smell you more than twenty feet away?
@ruouttaurmind totally
@PantHeist Window unit is a great temporary fix. I moved from PA to FL. It is not much better there at certain times of the year

NEW pants?
I thought you meant GNU pants, which is just silly (although entirely appropriate for this site).
I get it now. Carry on.
Yeah, that’s a sniff.
Clearly a sniff. And good for her. You can never be too careful.
Wash your jeans after each wear.

A sniff. And if you look closely, she targets the crotch with her nose…
@matthew Are you covering up your webcam because someone is out to get you or some other reason?
