Why?
I mean, this is the other extreme to you: https://www.standard.co.uk/fashion/never-wash-jeans-levi-boss-a4103356.html
The first is bad for the environment and the second is pretty manky.
I wash jeans about once every 2-3 weeks.
Everyone knows the quality went off a cliff when it happened. When Levis etc were still made in the US they were far more durable. They used to last years and years, now with the weak materials they crease easy and dont last.
I only wash jeans if they're a bit old and getting baggy. A wash tends to tighten them up a bit. I certainly wouldn't wash them after two days, that's bonkers. I probably wear my shirts more than twice before washing but I'm not a particularly sweaty person (and they're flannel shirts, not 'proper' shirts). People talking about faecal matter etc. reminds me of that old nonsense about the London Underground which is totally false (https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/inner-tube/). If you're splashing back at a urinal then you'd notice, and I'm pretty sure my jeans don't touch the floor when sitting on the bog my shoes get in the way). Even if they did you're assuming somehow someone has got enough **** on the floor to transfer. It's all very unlikely. And even if that did happen who's eating off their trousers regularly? 
I find it odd so many people are over-the-top about hygiene nowadays, yet are probably doing themselves way more damage because they can't cook a meal from scratch and rely on terrible ready meals and generally bad diets..

Same for me
I went on a training course a good few years ago which had a dress down Friday policy in place, everyone followed it but this one bloke showed up with ironed jeans on. If they were just flat ironed I could understand but he had this pin sharp crease running down the front.
I wash all of my jeans after 2-3 days wearing, sometimes more if we are away. I wear all different brands but I have to say that although they are not the most expensive 501's still last well for me. I always remember before the smoking ban that my clothes used to stink of smoke after being in the pub, not washing them wasn't really an option.

Ewwww.
Not sure if mentioned but Diesel Jeans are fantastic quality. They do loads of styles too to fit any shape / tastes.
Never iron mine, just wash sparingly inside out on a 30C wash when required and flatten as best you can by hand before drying

Not frequently but unless you’ve got Prince Andrew’s special medical condition that magically prevents you from sweating then you probably should wash your jeans. The waistband will inevitably pick up sweat over time etc...
Not to mention the bottom of the legs can pick up dirt etc.. if the length is long and they draped over your shoes a bit etc... go through a few puddles etc.. and they could do with a wash for that reason too.
If I know I've worn a shirt twice I'll probably chuck it in the wash, but I usually lose track. My girlfriend is very good at sniffing out odours (lol) and if I'm unsure I'll ask her. I don't know exactly what you might think would happen from wearing a shirt more than one or twice? Does it implode or something? If it's still clean visibly, doesn't smell then what exactly is the issue?
Firstly, who sweats around their waist? Eww.
And if I did, my boxers waistband would be in the way. They get washed after one wear before anyone says anything..*ring ring* Hey it's the 90s, they want their skater-boi jeans back!
