I wash my clothes after I wear them, each time. Unwashed clothes get a certain funk, even if they look clean. You can always tell when people do this. It’s a little metallic.
Jeans & shirts & pants I hang up and don’t wash often. I have lots of them, so not sure of the interval but maybe 10 - 15 wears? Underwear and workout clothes I wear once and wash.
Office job, I do bike in but not far. Merino wool t shirts or loose shirts for work.
Of course if I spill something on them I wash them.
If I wear them daily, then weekly. So about once every 5–7 wears.
The same amount as any other article of clothing,
I only wash them when I shit myself.
So twice a day?
On a good day.
When required.
Damn. okay.
Hey, you asked the question.
Seriously, jeans can go a while between washes, as long as you change your underwear daily.
Which brings us to the next question:
How often do y’all change your underbritches?
I own no underwear.
So you apply the pee and poo leftovers directly to the pants?
Uhhhhhh, I think you’re using the bathroom wrong…shouldn’t be any leftovers. It’s not Thanksgiving.
Are you 2 years old?
When they smell bad. Even when I wash I use delicate detergent and use the handwash setting and no spin/wring. It’s overkill but I like the ritual of caring for clothes.
Nose blindness is real and jeans are very washable. Wash your jeans you stinky hippies.
Where did this ‘never wash your jeans!’ mentality come from?
It feels like jeans - regardless of designer or ‘raw denim’ status - were clothes until about seven years ago, then they became fragile and precious jewels.
News flash: if you’re worried about washing your jeans, you’re inventing problems because you have none of your own.
The 60’s - when jeans were still very rough material and needed a LOT of breaking in.
Today’s jeans are wimpy by comparison.
But regardless of the material, I wash my pants when they get dirty, not every time I wear them.
I remember the raw denim trend in like the early 2010s ans you allegedly weren’t supposed to wash those, but even then that’s a very specific type of jeans we’re talking.
Where did this ‘never wash your jeans!’ mentality come from?
The same place all religious and other propaganda comes from. Plus it’s useful to spot the gullible and easily led people so you can avoid them to save your sanity!
Just get into the hotub with them after your workout, but take them off just before you fuck your boyfriend.
I went to Europe in 2007 or something and a pair of Levis were stupid expensive. They just make that shit up and create value out of bullshit. Levis have been $30 when they last raised minimum wage in The 90s. These prices make no sense.
Same place the “never wash your cast iron pans” notion came from. Internet hivemind bullshit.
I’m this economy? You must mean how often do I wash my jean.
I wash my clothes when they’re smelly or dirty. Washing them when they’ve only been worn once is insane and terrible for the environment.
I haven’t worn jeans in 10+ years. Am I missing something? Why wouldn’t you wash them?
Washing damages the denim, reducing its lifespan. It leads to color fading and tearing.
Alright I suppose but by that logic I shouldn’t wash any clothing — it all eventually fades and loses its quality no?
Denim doesn’t hold onto dyes nearly as well as other materials. This makes it more prone to fading in pretty much all circumstances, even through normal wear, such as fading in the creases of your knees. The detergents will also break down the fibers of the denim, causing it to rip more easily. Because of this, you really should only wash it when it’s visibly dirty or has a bad smell.
I’ve got a pair of jeans that I wear nearly every day. Have had them for about seven years. Washed them maybe seven times. The denim is still in excellent condition. Granted, I don’t do a lot of physical labor in these jeans, but I do walk around town quite often in them. They still look and feel like they’re only a week old.
plus it removes that musky aroma people love.
LOL… who the hell throws out a pair of jeans because the color fades?
HAHAHAHAHAHA
once a week
I only wash them when they’re dirty.
When they appear dirty or smell. A hoodie that I wore on a lazy day may get a couple wears before wash. My comfy sweat pants I treat like my jeans. Everything else gets one wear then washed.
I don’t see the need to wash something that doesn’t look or smell dirty.
Once every wear or two.
