As someone who literally just unfroze some bacteria that have been frozen at -80*C for six years, I can confirm that all freezing does is make your bacteria last longer.
Levi's CEO: Don't put your jeans in the freezer
- Thread starter Colin Robinson
- Start date
Glad this confirms I’m not crazy. It was Levi themselves that promoted this! Weird to then call something they originally promoted (as a way to reduce the water consumption of cotton) an old wives tale.
I built a custom walk in freezer purely for my denim collection. Are you telling me this was a waste of money?
What was pretty about the bacteria? Other than they immediately latched onto your jeans for dear life?
i wear no underwear and probably wash my jeans once a month and let them air dry...i’m still alive too and have no genital diseases

There's some pink bacteria that can be quite pretty! (before it kills you, it's also highly toxic)
Okay, don't freeze jeans; fine.
But don't wash them either? So??? What do you do? Just let that shit stink until it's riddled with holes?

Yeah but that's cause you stored them down in roughly 25% glycerol. Throw bacteria in water and freeze-thaw them a hundred times and I bet you'll get some dead bacteria.
This is about what I do, just do a quick smell check before putting em back on.
Exactly. Maybe you wear them and walk into the ocean with them on, but you don’t wash them
or have and won't buy clothes that they aren't supposed to wash.
Do people who don't wash their jeans never wear them anywhere but in an office? Sorry, but I wear the hell out of my jeans and they frequently get dirt, yes actual dirt on them. After a week of work my jeans have visible dirt on them, smell is like the last thing to worry about.
Yes well people usually have clothes for different occasions, I.e. jeans only for office and jeans for outdoors.
Do you wear leather suit shoes on a hike?
I have pants I only wear to work and yeah I don't really wash them that much because.. they don't really go anywhere.

... You don't need to wash them. The only time i wash mine is if I suspect I got poison oak or ivy on them.
Sure, but that's not what people are doing when they freeze jeans either. I mean, if you're gonna dunk your jeans in water a hundred times, you've basically just washed them at that point.

Why....you seriously need to wash your damn clothes. Throughout the day as you are wearing them you have dead skin particles, dirt/grime from wearing them outside and other things you come in contact with that are getting on them.
I could not dare dream of wearing pants for TEN YEARS without ever washing them, ugh.
I mean people sit on public seats with jeans...
