I have ONE pair of jeans and I wear them for month or 2 without washing - 5 days a week.

i usually wear mine 2 or 3 times, but not in a row. And if i'm doing laundry, i usually just throw them in if i know i've worn them at least once.

You may not smell them, but I'm sure other people do.

I mean honestly, even if you are a freak of nature and you never sweat or give off any type of smell, just all the crap you get on them from walking around to and from class, doing work around the house, stuff like that.

Well, I need to give more details:
-I do not wear jeans at home
-I wear them only to college
-for other things I have 2 pair of knee length shorts that I wear when not in college

Family's doing laundry right NOW, so I threw in my jeans and 1 pair of shorts just to please you all :thumbsup:

I'm guessing you don't have a girlfriend or desire to have one?

I don't have one.
And not trying to get one at the moment, since I don't have a car, live with family (4 people) in 2BR apartment, and don't have a job (cannot work legally...). I don't have my own room - my computer is in the hall where parents cook, watch tv, listen to radio and argue. I fuckin sleep in same room as my parents!

Until all that changes, I am not going to try to get a girlfriend.
I want to be responsible, be a self-sufficient adult with a job, car, and my own apartment when I go looking for a serious relationship. For now, I can be as fuckin cheap as I want to!

About four times, but I hardly ever wear the same pair back-to-back. I have three pairs of jeans that I typically wear and I essentially rotate between those three.

Damn...there's some nasty people out there. I wear mine once, maybe (A big maybe) twice. I just hate the feeling of dirty clothes..

Edit: Megavovan, I call shens. No way in hell is someone that oblivious to the stank of jeans worn that many times.

Fixed for me.

I wash 3 times per day. Morning, lunch, before bed. I always carry a hair dryer with me to work to be sure they're dry enough at the end of lunch.

Seriously, once every two days? What a bunch of fucking pigs you are.

1. it really hard to make leg clothes smell.
2. 2-3 weeks is fine for jeans.
3. how many pairs do you guys have to wear once or twice only ?

edit.
let me guess. you either have a mom or a wife to do the wash for you. no one who has to clean clothes themselves would be that stupid.

Well, I have six pairs of jeans and will mix it around a bit, but they each get worn three or four times before they get washed.

I dont wear any pants more than a couple days in a row, but between washes/dry cleanings, I'd say 15+. For dress pants, maybe I'll iron them once in between, but I'm not doing anything that's going to make these things dirty faster than that. Frequent dry cleaning wears them out, too.

Now, if they smell, I'm obviously not going to keep wearing them. But I'm not playing basketball in them, I'm sitting at my desk doing my job. For jeans, if airing them out a bit to get the beer/cigarette smell out after a night at the bar doesn't do it, they go right into the wash. But I don't get to do that as much anymore, so its less of an issue. (No, I don't smoke, but in VA ppl can still smoke in bars, it sticks to you).

It takes 2 minutes to put 5-6 pair of jeans in the washer. It takes another 30 seconds to move them to the dryer. Then maybe 5 to fold and hang them. So what, ~7.5 minutes every 2 weeks or so?

Yes, my poor wife has it pretty rough, keeping up with my demanding and excessive wearing of clothing. :laugh:

I have 5 pairs of jeans that I switch between. Each gets worn 5-7 times before I throw them in the wash. I'd rather not wash them after every wear anyway. 1)They aren't dirty, and 2)If I washed them that frequently they fade and wear out quickly. Seriously, how frigging dirty are your jeans getting if you just wear them to work at a desk job? Not very. Now the jeans I wear when I work in the yard or on my race car, those get washed after every time I wear them because they are filthy after that.

I probably have 20 pairs of jeans...but i only wear about 4 of them regularly. I usually wear them once in the summer and maybe 2-3 times in the winter and fall before washing. How can some of you go a week wearing the same jeans? They just feel dirty after the 4 or 5th time. Just think...all of the posts on Anandtech about some co-worker smelling like ass, but are oblivious to it....that co-worker could be you!!
