I wear my jeans 2-3 times before washing. Sometimes sooner or later depending because not always I wear my jeans for a long time.

@DaddyEvil Did you read the article where Levi's CEO says not to wash your jeans? - You can spot clean your jeans lol. In my household we wash our jeans and air dry outside then in the dryer we use the air function so it isn't hot.

Good for your jeans and the environment.

@DaddyEvil I know I have sold jeans I've worn to people. I sell on Poshmark - but the jeans I sell aren't like crazy worn or anything ~ I paid some money for them and I don't wear them anymore and there are people who buy them too.

Despite working in an office environment I dress very casually. To be honest I can't remember how many times I've worn the jeans I'm currently wearing since they were last washed. I suspect I've worn them for about five or six days. The problem I have is that I hate the feel of freshly washed jeans. They're just not comfortable. If they don't smell then they're fit for wearing!!

If we are burning leaves or rubbish we'll wear the same clothes for several days till we finish burning then put them in the wash. The smoky smell gets into the fabric so rather than have several smelly pairs we keep the same ones till the job is finished.

@TheHorse It stems back to when I was a kid. Mom made me wear the same dress to school two days in a row. I vowed I would never wear the same clothes two days in a row as soon as I had control over my wardrobe.

Since I don't work, I do wear mine for about a week, before they go into the laundry I do take showers during that time fo course, but my clothes don't get that dirty, unless I spill food on them and such, and then I change them. I do change my underwear though, as to me that is much more important than the outside.

@TheHorse Those are vert giid snells for sure. I sweat in certtain areas, which I won't mention, so therefore, I have to take enough showers, but I don't always put on clean clothes. I don't have all that many, so I have to wear them for a week, and then change to something else. I only wash when I need clean clothes.

My sister would be the right one to answer the question. She did not wash a pair of jeans for a whole year! That created some sort of family history. As for me, I normally wash the jeans after I have worn in three days.

Well 2 to 3 days is good enough for me. I can't wear jeans too long because if I do that, I get rashes. Jeans are comfortable during cold weather, but in the scorching heat, they're not the ideal outfit.
