I mean there should be and it should definately include temperature humidity and wind speed :)

Oh maybe fabric type and density :)

Forget curing cancer at least this is achievable. All clothes could have a drying value on them :)

It would help save the planet, stop people using tumble driers so much maybe :)

Always just a bit slower than you need when doing multiple loads.

This

Equation can be summarised as:
T=t-n; where T is the optimal drying time, and n is a integer measured in minutes with a range of 10-90 at least.

You'd also need water content of clothes, mass of clothes, how hydrophilic fabric is (how water clings to the fabric), orientation to the prevailing wind, cloud cover and sunlight strength, and some more I don't know.

Lightweight walking trousers now. They take an hour or two on the line or maiden. I wore jeans again last week and had really forgotten how heavy they can be.

Not proper denim, but most stuff these days is a cotton blend with elastane.

if you don't wash them surely the must start to smell like pee or man sweat from your balls.
even if your changing underwear everyday in the heat the sweat of your balls must evaporate and condense on your jeans.

I always wash mine every 1-2 weeks, dye them once or twice a year, they still look new.

is not washing jeans some goldmine talk from when people literally scrubbed clothes on a hard abrasive surface to clean them?

Im not saying I wouldn’t wash denim - I would, for the reasons you mention. But plenty choose not to.

My point was that regardless of whether you do or not, you should definitely wash modern day jeans, as they’re not really denim.
