A couple of months ago i was asking same question at a DIESEL-store and they handed out a lil' leaflet with "washing"-instructions giving the advice to never ever wash a jeans. Leave it outside on the balcony for a way so the jeans will loose any kind of smell, to fight against microbes, bacteria and more uncomfortable smell you should, as the leaflet says, put the jeans for a day (or longer) in the freezer as the minus-temperatures remove smell, bacteria and microbes. Same advice did the owner of PRPS-jeans mention in an interview, but, well, i can imagine many still feel uncomfortable as still skin-cells, dirt and stuff is after freezing still on the denim, so: here are some additional ideas, even they mention the freezing-method:

In case you'll carefully hand-wash the jeans, use mildest detergent you're gonna find which should not contain any bleaching ingredients. "The Laundress" jeans-detergent works pretty well for me, but any cheap product might do the trick as well.
Good luck ;)

I had some of my jeans form a new kind of a waxy/greasy layer lol.

The tag of the jeans probably says 'dry clean only'?

The 'mild' detergent thing is important: I made the mistake of washing a pair of waxed denims (RO) with regular detergent (at 30C)... and said 'bye bye' to the wax.
The 'dry clean only' label seems to have been used by manufacturers for years, maybe to protect themselves? I have plain white cotton shirts from CdG and YYPH both of which say 'dry clean only' - but why would you dry-clean a plain cotton shirt? With a bit of experience (and the occasional costly mistake), the behaviour of most fabrics upon encountering water and agitation is pretty predictable.

Not a thin but a little more substantial and something on the slimmer side.
