[FONT=&quot]The idea you shouldn’t machine wash your jeans comes from the king of denim himself, Levi’s CEO and President Chip Bergh.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Bergh first hit headlines in 2014 when he admitted he hadn’t ever washed his decade-old favourite pair of jeans.

“Washing your denim jeans can alter the make-up of the material itself, and in fact, your favourite pair of jeans don’t need to be washed as frequently as you may think,”

“The sheer amount of water that they are exposed to in a washing machine can be the culprit for affecting the look and colour of the denim by fading over time.

“Cotton based denim jeans with little stretch to them will become more comfortable over time.”

In what way does hand washing or washing them in cold water count as not washing them??

IMO they look better when faded.
