I'll go about a week without washing mine, but never washing them? Fuck that. When they hold their shape on their own because of all the grime, it's fo time.

I wear my jeans until they are visibly dirty or have an odor.

I get multiple days out of the same pair of jeans. Not that I wear them consecutively, but rotate a few pairs.

I do that with most of my pants.  Unless I spilled food on them or something, one day of sitting on the train, sitting at work, or sitting in class doesn't really get them dirty.

No kidding, if I washed my jeans everday after 1 days usage, they would be worn down to fragile pieces by the wash/dry cycle.

What is with the large section of new jeans that already look dirty?  I want blue jeans not yellowed blue jeans.

I wear mine until I notice a smell or they are visibly dirty.  Usually just one pair at a time, but I only wear jeans in the evening, so I can go several weeks unless I am working on an outdoor project.

But some people DO want theirs to look pre-used. Capitalism!

Unless they get visibly dirty or you go commando, washing after every use isn't necessary.

I cannot take a shower, be all clean and fresh, and then put on a pair of jeans I wore the day before. Even if they LOOK clean, they don't feel clean.

TJ do you mean the "trucker" fad (about 5 years ago) or are you referring to kids who buy high-dollar raw selvege jeans and wear them for months to get better whiskering?

Personally I don't chase fashion trends ... you can never catch up.  If you stick with the classics (for your age) you can never go wrong.  Check out thunderw21's fedora thread for a good example.

Remember in 90's/80's when those blue jeans with shredded holes in the were popular??
MY sisters BF had a ranch in Brazoria county,TX and some company paid him to shoot these blue jeans with his shotgun...Pretty cool gig, and proves dumbasses will pay extra for damaged merchandise one would normally send back to the store.

This.  Sometimes I do wear them consecutively.  I sit at a desk all day for work.  Unless I fart too much or the kids puke on them they don't get dirty.

Most of it is not real dirt. Just dirt coloring.


It doesnt bother me. It means my real dirt colored jeans are in style too.

I think this is what OP is talking about. They buy raw/selvege jeans that were never rinsed at the factory. Waiting to wash your jeans will give more defined whiskering that reflects the actual wearer.

I see.  Didn't all jeans come "raw" back in the 1950s or so?  What's old is new again ....

I also see this trend with soldiers. Lots of ketchup and grease stains on their ACUs. I personally don't have a problem with this.

The problem with "I wash them when they start to smell" is that everyone else smells you three days before you smell you
