I go a few uses between washes unless they get filthy. Anything more is a waste.
A friend takes his to the cleaners and does the dry clean thing, says it works better but I'd say that's a pretty expensive option. |

I don't get the "never wash them" thing. Over time they get sweaty, dirty, and then there is the dead skin cell thing.
I wear them a few times in-between washing. Even if it does wear them out faster, I would rather "smell fresh".

Jeans I'll wear 2-3 times before I wash, unless they get really dirty, which is rare. That's what my cargo pants are for. I have jeans that are 10 years old.
Work Khakis, are usually 2 wears then wash. ETA: I'd also bet these stupid hipsters are wearing 2-300 fashion jeans and don't do a lick of work that would make them sweat. I don't think I've ever spent more than $60. Carhartt for durability, Eddie Bauer for comfort. |

Its too damn hot and humid down here, cant do much without becoming ringing wet with sweat. During the winter I can go 2-3 wearings without a wash. Not so much during the summer...

I wash mine everytime I wear them. I wear jeans to work everyday and a pair of $20 wranglers will last me about 4 or 5 years. So I don't know what you hippies are doing running around in stinky jeans for.

I wear my jeans two days in a row then they get tossed in the hamper. If I get them extremely filthy or I need clean jeans for the next day then I only wear them once.

People that don't wash their jeans obviously never get dirty or break a sweat.

My "nice" jeans get washed a few times a year. Only time I ever wear those is if I'm going out to dinner with the wife or something. Family gatherings things like that. Never really get dirty.
My pants for working in the shop and doing chores are washed when needed. Not to often as they're filthy again 20 minutes into wearing them. Work pants are worn once then washed |

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that whoever thinks you should never wash your Jean has probably never actually had to perform anything we would refer to as "work".

Just a quick wipe down with warm water, then dry on the stove with a light coat of oil if necessary to re-season.

No wonder gun shows smell so bad.
 Washing jeans doesn't seem to hurt mine. Buy better ones. Putting them in the dryer for 40 minutes will hurt them, or at all. Just hang-dry them and they last as long as they need. Mine all wear in places where ... you know, they wear out while I am WEARING them. If the washer wore them out the loops would come off, not the knees and pockets where I put stuff... |

1. Lay jeans flat in bathtub.
2. Fill tub with 2 inches of cold water. 3. Add 1 cup white vinegar. 4. Wait 1 hour. 5. Hang them up to dry. You should only have to do this one every second or third week, so long as you don't get any actual stains on them. |

Bathe all you want, but you're not removing the dead skin cells covering your body. If you did, you'd have a really bad day. |

When I wear jeans, which is only a couple months out of the year since its so hot here, I go at minimum of at least 3 to 4 days before I wash them, but I have a desk job in a climate controlled office so nothing to get me dirty.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Levi Strauss CEO Chip Bergh:
If you feel the need to throw your jeans into the washing machine after every wear, you may be doing it all wrong. According to the man behind the jeans Americans have been wearing for the past 141 years - Levi's 501s - you do not need to wash your jeans as often as you think you do, if ever. "These jeans are maybe a year old and these have yet to see a washing machine," the CEO of Levi Strauss & Co., Chip Bergh, said Tuesday, referring to the jeans he was wearing during an interview at Fortune magazine's Brainstorm Green conference in California. "I know that sounds totally disgusting," Bergh said. "I know it does." Despite the potential "ick" factor, Bergh went on to explain that keeping your jeans out of the laundry will help keep their shape and color. "If you talk to real denim aficionados, they tell you don't wash your blue jeans," Bergh said. Bergh is not the only member of the fashion industry to espouse a no-wash jeans policy. Fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger once told celebrity website TMZ.com that he also keeps his Levi's out of the washing machine. "I never wash my Levi's," Hilfiger told TMZ cameras last October. So how do you keep your jeans fresh without the help of laundry detergent? Experts recommend eliminating odor by spritzing jeans with white vinegar or vodka and hanging them out to air dry. Another option is to freeze your jeans once per month to kill off the smell caused by bacteria. The freezing option entails turning your jeans inside out and then freezing them either overnight or for two days at a time. |
