Poll: How often do you wash your jeans?

[Buffman]

Once every couple of months. (they possibly get a week or so of wear in this time)

 

[bledd]

When they have that stinky feel to them, they almost feel wet because they're so full of sweat and dirt.

Roughly once a month. The jeans I wear for working on the car and for Karting, I've not washed for about 3 years. They have that oil/petrol stank going on.

I have no idea, I'd have to ask my wife

 

[cheesyboy]

When they're visibly dirty. However long that takes.

 

[flame696]

After a couple of weeks, as I hardly wear them as I wear a suit for work

Exactly. My jeans go from wardrobe to legs to floor.....what happens in between I have no idea.

 

[Puzzled]

Between a few weeks and a month, depends what I've been up to obviously but if its just the usual day to day stuff then I don't like to wash them too often.

Always feel odd after a wash, takes a week or so for them to feel right again

Couple of times a year if I can get away with it. If I get some stains on them they will get washed but a lot of stuff just rubs off jeans. I think I read an article a while back that essentially said that they tested jeans that weren't washed for years vs those that hadn't been washed for a few weeks and the bacteria etc wasn't much different between the two.

If they don't smell and aren't visibly dirty I don't wash them.

Probably every couple of months. I rarely wear the same pair consecutive days and usually for nothing more than a couple of hours at a time.

Lounging around in the evening, driving long distances etc I tend to wear jogging bottoms

Ugh, I could not believe I've read some of this thread. Let alone how repulsed I feel after reading some of the comments. Some really manky people about.

 

[manius]

if i have just been around the house or just gone to the shops ill wear them the next day but if ive been out all day or a night out just the once everything normaly has one wear the its washed

 

[megakid]

I usually have 2 pairs of decent jeans on the go. Usually swap every 4-6 weeks of wearing. That's when they get washed.

 

[snitcher]

usually every few weeks

 

[Guerrilla]

Usually after a few wears.

 

[Akagi]

You're supposed to wash them?

 

[CircleFaust]

every few months for me. I have a look at them and a sniff each time I go to put them on and if they need it i'll wash them
generally though they don't need it.

 

[Cookeh]

You're supposed to wash them?

Thats what I thought

 

[xriccix]

Depends on the denim. Cheap pre washed denim, once every few weeks.

Selvedge denim i try not to wash at all. I soak and clean if needed, then hang dry.

 

[Chiz]

Jeans that are 2 weeks without wash are pretty much identical to a pair that's 15 months unwashed. See Link Here

My pairs are generally washed yearly, although my Hiuts will never be washed and my Iron Hearts have only been washed once in 5 years.

 

[dacads]

Never .... because I don't own any jeans

What do you wear then, shorts? Personally I'm in shorts at home and jeans or chinos when out.

I can understand some people might wear trousers
