Heard that a soak in vinegar and water 3 to one vinegar to water hang to dry removes dirt odor no fade on jeans! Just a suggestion?

I think most washing detergents work at quite a low temperature nowadays - Persil says 15C/59F. Personally, I've got my Gustins and UBs on rotation with my Freddies (had them hemmed in Chicago and they look all the better for it), I'll be adding the Okayamas to it soon. Throw the occasional spate of Nudie wearing in, and at this rate, It's going to be a couple of months for them to get anything close to a 'need a wash' state.
@Butte: I don't get why Gustin haven't gone for 21oz. Maybe it's because it's a pain in the ass to deal with it - From what I've read, above a certain weight, you need special toughened needles to cope with the dense cloth. 8G's seamstresses have to wear goggles to protect their eyes when they're sewing their 28oz jeans because the needles splinter under the strain of piercing the denim.
Just received email saying Yokohama's are shipped! Far quicker than the Green Wefts. Looking forward to seething these.
Good score on the grab bag! I'd thought about going in on those, but I had a feeling that I'd end up with something less than ace - not all of Gustin's denim is god-like. How do the Okayamas measure up to the pics?
I like my heavy Japans too...
Thanks Indigoeagle!
