I think a lot of you are misunderstanding this, and have a lot of misconceptions about raw denim.

The jeans this is usually done with are of a much higher quality denim material. 'Raw' refers to the fact that none of the dye has been washed out yet. They were dyed at the factory and stitched together and sent to the shop. The reason why you wait to wash is because the dye will start to wear out in the places where it naturally fades on your own body rather than the cookie cutter jeans from American Eagle etc. If you wash them too early on in the breaking in process, the dye washes out and that fading no longer occurs.

These are not your work jeans. These are a fashion item. Just like your favorite chandelier, you can justify the costs of looks and application. You wouldn't use your favorite couch as something to kick back on with your muddy boots in the garage. Same with these pants. Most people won't wear them out when it is heavy raining, when they will be doing a lot of physical activity etc.

The aforementioned reason helps explain why the jeans get a lot less dirty than you think they would. Just as many of you justify spending a lot on a piece of furniture that you don't abuse and keep looking nice, you don't abuse these jeans either.

Any good non-hardwire options in the pendant and chandelier genres?

The chart says 2 Tablespoons equals two teaspoons does it not? Typo?
