How often do you wash your jeans?

fuzzydunlop85

Sometimes I can go about 2 months without giving them a wash. Is this socially acceptable?

FortuneChip

Depends, which jeans?

Copa Mundial

Ye wash yer jeans?

Intensive Care Bear

When they become either dirty or smelly.

Only after I don't wear any underwear with them or when I spill food or liquid on them that leaves a stain. That's the beauty of jeans.

PizzamanIRL

Wash my jeans? Does a bear shit in airplane toilets?

The Backwards Man

More often than an Islamic based thread is started on AH.

When I've worn them two or three times, maximum. They might not look dirty, but I feel better about wearing them when I know they're clean.

The last pair of jeans I pulled out of the wash, I found ten punt in them.

I pulled a 3310 nokia out of an old pair of jeans that I hadn't worn in years. Still had 2 bars of battery left on it...

nlgbbbblth

After three or four wears.

Yeah same here*, luckily I'm very clumsy so I end up washing them pretty regularly anyway.

*though I always wear underwear with jeans. It's important to me that people know this.

Every second day. I thought that was normal.

The CEO of Levis has not washed his year old pair of jeans ever - bad for the dye in the fabric!

The CEO of Levi's doesn't spend his days holing turf out of a soggy bink hole or lying on his back under a diesel engine.

Ideally you should go swimming in the ocean wearing your jeans, rub your jeans with dry sand and repeat several times. Rinse in the fresh (not salt) water and let them dry in the sun.

Only wear jeans on nights out so they don't get out much.

I'll wash them if they get stains or smell bad.

Connemara Farmer

When they're able to walk away on their own.

Lucyfur

I turn mine inside out so I can get an extra day out of them

Jeans can't be washed, it strips them of the natural oils they need from the crack of your arse that keep them protected from the elements.

Kovu

Depends how dirty they are. No point saying every two weeks if I put them on clean one morning and then fall on my arse in the slatted shed.

Big heavy on the washing machine.

Hint you can buy more than one pair.

I've never understood the idea of jeans as formal or going out wear.

brummytom

When they're dirty or smell at all. Probably around once a fortnight on average.

Well in that case, I wash them once a week. I don't put them in the washing machine every second day and then go around in my underpants until they're dry. I wear them for two days... and I spend the next five days going around in my underpants until they're washed. You're right though - I should probably buy more than one pair.

Yes you should. You read as aggrieved. The thread asks how often do you wash your jeans and you said every second day. the cause for confusion is all you.

How do you know? He's the CEO of Levi's. He can flippin' do whatever the flip he flippin' well likes.

Duggy747

When the crotch smells of stale wee from years worth of droplets.

job seeker

When ever ghosts emerge from the arse crack of the jeans. Although, I do find jeans with 6+ months of stains of skid marks, pi$$, jam, jizz, sweat, oil, coffee and mince pies seem to be a lot more flexable than jeans straight out of the wash and drier.

eternal

Jeans are very 2002.

Princess Consuela Bananahammock

Sometimes three times a day. Certain, eh, "stains" can be difficult to eradicate.

KomradeBishop

Wear them once and wash.

For some reason, all my jeans are starting to wear/tear at the gooch Wonder why. Need to replace a bunch of them.

VinLieger

Unless theres some pretty visible stain or smell then 1-2 months

I did this in 2010. They're still wet.

I would get at least two weeks out of a pair anyway (that's wearing them everyday to work and at the weekend/ going out etc) unless they got dirty from spilling something on them etc.

A pair of trousers or jeans I wasn't wearing everyday could last a month or months between washes.

c_man

I dunno. Sure you'd have to ask my auld wan :pac:

The extreme not washing jeans comes from hipsters who want to get "authentic" fades on raw denim, so they can look like great depression era miners and farmers while they sip their lattes in their cubicle. AKA total arse. Apparently some of them keep them "clean" by sticking them in the freezer to kill the bacteria. From hard wearing work wear for hard working men to a uniform for tossers in a couple of generations. Mad eh?

ZiabR

I dont wash jeans that often to be honest. Whenever they get smelly or dirty.

smash

I'd wear jeans a few times before washing them, unless something spilled on them. It's strange because I'd never wear any other item of clothes more than once. I have a few pairs of jeans that I've owned for years now though. Good quality jeans really do last.

Penny Tration

2 wears, then they're washed.

Every 2 to 3 wears.

I wear mine in the shower.

The bigger question is: How many times did you fart while wearing them?

Greenmachine

Mine get washed with the rest of my clothes. Wear them two days max, then they go in the basket till I have enough clothes to do a full load.

TheBeardedLady

Jeans! Everyone's wearin' 'em. Jeans! They're the latest craze. Jeans! Whatcha wearin' there? Jeans! Wow they sure look swell!






I wash them as often as I wash my other clothes.

Aongus Von Bismarck

I'm not really the sort of man who wears jeans to work or when socialising. I do have a nice pair of Diesel triple-stitched jeans that I might wear when going for a drive, or popping down to the shops. Would wash them after 3 or 4 wears.

On the subject of jeans: what is it with Irishmen and their love of boot cut jeans? A most unflattering cut, and few things more tatty than the bottom of the legs of the jeans all frayed and tattered.

It's actually a rarity for me to wear jeans. I have one red going out pair which are shockin hot but I wash them every wear because I don't like when they loosen.

I wear dresses pretty much all the time. They get washed after one wear. My other non hot jeans would be washed after maybe two wears, but there could be months between two wears!!!
