For Szabo, the low-wash habit began when he bought his first pair of raw denim jeans in 2010. Travelling from his native Canada to Europe, he brought his jeans for the six-month trip. "It was a quirk about me that I had these stinky jeans," he tells BBC Culture. "They smelled awful." In Budapest he met his future wife, and the jeans became a character in their relationship. "My jeans would be in, like, a pile on the floor at the end of the bed," he remembers. "You walked into the room, you could smell [them]... I was very fortunate that my wife was as interested in me as she was."

guys, the bar is on the fucking floor with the stinky jeans

I don't do any of this but I've read that if you freeze clothing you're trying to avoid washing it prevents the stink by killing bacteria.

So this guy just didn't even try to not be stinky.

Yeah, my brother had a pair of Japanese selvedge denim jeans and he'd do this

It made him miserable in the winter if he forgot to take them out to warm up

A couple of times, yeah

I thought it was funny

He froze his cojones trying to impress girls

I do that on hot days

It doesn't work. When they thaw they're still stinky

[-] Chana@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

I think the idea is to freeze before they get stinky

I'm guessing there's a fetish at play there
