so, ive made a couple pairs of bleached jeans lately. the first ones i attempted were much darker than the ones shown and i loved how they came out, they were a darker washed pair of James jeans that i didnt wear very much, and now that they have a lil twist of tye dye, i wear them all the time. The ones shown are an old pair of Ernest Sewn jeans, which i love because they are always super long and lean, just like me :)
so, let me tell you how its done ( you can save a lot of money just buying a bottle of bleach and pouring it over an old pair of jeans). what i did with the ones shown, which was far less toxic was that i laid the jeans on my lawn and poured bleach meticulously all over them (I used fresh scent bleach) then i filled a bucket full of water and poured the rest of the bottle in the water. I like the color they came out overall, and the bleach saturated spots which came out real white, which i totally love!, just watch them to make sure you achieve the wash you want. if you look close, there is even a leaf shape bleach spot which makes them so much more authentic :)
WARNING: you may smell like a public pool for awhile after, but once you wash them a few times it will fade.....good luck.
