How many times you wear your jeans before washing it?

I wear my jeans at least 2 times before washing it because the color will fade immediately if it will be often washed. I also wash it in reverse to protect the color. Do you also do as I do?

youre right madam, the dirtier it is the the prettier it looks, even in my younger days (coll days) i wear my 501s for about a week or two so long as the smell is acceptable hehe

I give you props on a good discussion. The longest I'll wait is 3 days. And I'll of course smell them before I wear them again. LOL

It depends on where I went. If I was just in the nearby mall or grocery and only used it for a few hours, I'd wear it twice. But if I had been gone the whole day and been to some dusty part of the city or if I feel that after wearing it once, it smells already , off it goes to the hamper.. I don't let the maid put my jeans in the washing machine coz it would definitely ruin the shape and material, so it's hand washed. I did instruct her to wash it in reverse to avoid discoloration..

Yes. I also wear my jeans two times before washing it. Like you, I also don't want my jeans to be washed so often that its color will fade. Sometimes I wear my black jeans three times before washing it. It helps preserve the color and quality of my jeans. Plus it helps save a bit of water. =)

Well i use to wear at least for 3 times before washing. If we wash everyday than the color of jeans will fade immediately.

I wear my jeans at least 3or 4 time a week before washing and i think its better not to wash so many time ,as you said color will fade and also its too expensive for jeans to buy.

It really depends. I'll usually wait several days. A lot of times, I'll just wait maybe a week or so. Sometimes, I won't wait as long, but I'll definitely go several days before washing it.

Before I used to wear my jeans for like 2-3 times before washing it but now I only use it once. I use jeans at work so it must be very dirty, I don't like wearing dirty jeans although the color already faded.

It depends. If I only wear it in a short time I usually use it up to 3 times before washing. But usually 2 times. Rainy day is coming so if it got wet or dirtied by mud then I have no choice but to wash it immediately. It really does fade fast if you often wash it.

yes, i do the same, i don't think they need to be washed everytime you wear them, 2-3 times is ok and i always wash them together with other jeans of the same color

If it's dirty, only a day. If not dirty, sometimes 3-4 times a week.

If are white or something like that, i think 2 times, if are black, or dark blue, or other dark colours, i think max. 4 times.
