DIY: How to Wax your Jeans (or re-wax Denim)

[mrwhatthedunk]

how would you wash the jeans after this?

[saramelba]

Doesn't wax makes them flammable??? they look good, but risky~ NO SMOKING!

[xsarahberries]

@saramelba how dim are you? Wax is not flammable... think about a candle, the wax protects the wick from burning quickly because the wick is the burning agent, not the wax. The non-flammable wax prolongs the life of the lit wick. Go watch a video about how candles work.

does this kill breathability?

[bilnabiln]

if i wax a pair of pants and skate in them on a hot summer day, will the wax melt off? or will it cause extreme discomfort to ma legs?

[philosophic9]

my jeans lost in lustre. I'd like it to get some shine back but not as shiny as this? You think if i rubb gently with the otter way that'd work?

[gooztala]

I thought the otter wax was much smaller. So you dont have to warm the wax, just apply it like that?

[nptleet]

@TheCoveted What about on blue jeans?

[eddienjouavel]

@TheCoveted will a jar of beeswax work to if i apply it with a paint brush

[BatmanProject777]

@eddienjouavel I've used beeswax on a piece of canvas before. I wasn't trying to make stylish clothes, just experimenting. I used a plastic spatula....I spread it pretty firmly, to avoid any excess.

[snowkiid]

does this really make it waterproof? would it work on denim snowboarding pants?

[MrKidTheMan]

[DaNellyExperience]

[mesulliv1]

this is a gem of a video! i purchased waxed jeans last year that i thought were ruined because my lovely fiance washed them waxed side out. thank you so much!!

[Aronautic]

is 1 bar enough for a pair of jeans?

[finalassault]

How long til they have to be rewaxed?

Does washing take off the wax?

Were can you get the wax?

Please and thanks.

@finalassault

1) Depends on how hard you wear them. I'm sure you would be able to tell.

2) I would think so. If you use hot water, soap, abrassive sponges, etc., the wax will probably come off. If you're concerned about that, you can just use ice-cold water, and brush the jeans with a sponge. OR you could try giving them a cold soak (leave them in a bath tub of cold water). A lot of people think jeans need to be washed regularly, but unless you spill something horrible on them, not really.

[nicksmellsDELICIOUS]

this is awesome! definitely giving this a try ^_^

do you have to re-wax the jeans if they're washed?

[thecitizenrosebud]

great viddy! 

[SKEEZIN08]

they look like leather pants after being waxed

[mrcokos]

where can i get that wax?i live in mexico,can i get it in a hardware store?o in walmart?

[sparklezwow02]

why would anyony wear waxed jenes? im not just putting hate here, i really do question that.

[etanderson]

@sparklezwow02 They can look really cool and they're more windproof and waterproof.

[TheCoveted]

@sparklezwow02 well, waxed jeans have a leathery look. if you can't afford to shell out $600 on a pair of leather pants, or don't like to wear leather, it's a great alternative and it's also natural. :)

[jmrickets]

@TheCoveted why dont you like to wear leather......

[keetner]

@sparklezwow02

You'd be surprised.

[pedobearishot]

@sparklezwow02 my jeans from g star armani and stuff are all waxed it makes them look more expensive and its a good way to re wax them after you wash!

[deTRAUCOaLEPRECHAUN]

@sparklezwow02  I wondered the same! but now with their explanation I though also could be a good alternative for winter, to wear in rain perhaps?
