How often do you wash your jeans?

[amdhunter]

Someone's calling me dirty because I don't wash my jeans as often as she would like. I don't think washing a jean (that has no noticable dirt) is necessary, and I usually can keep a single pair of jeans clean for about 2 months before I decide to send them off to the cleaners.

In that time, I would probably get in about 15-20 uses before I decide to send them off to the cleaners.

I think I just like that new look, as throwing jeans in a washing machine usually diminishes the look.

Just wondering, how often do you guys clean your pants?

My only question: Who the hell sends their jeans to the cleaners?

I hate washing them because they get old-looking. The cleaners seem to do a much better job with keeping that 'new' look.

Wow. I wash them after everytime i wear them, even if there is no noticeable dirt on them. No ifs ands or buts about it.

Doesn't that diminish the look over time?

Every 2 or 3 wears... They'll start to smell if I don't wash them more often than that.

Same here, with all my clothing.

And always in my washer and dryer. Only clothing I take to the dry cleaners are a few military uniform items.

Not really, at least not the color jeans i buy. Currently i'm wearing ones that are khaki brown, and they're probably the same color as they were 50 washes ago.

Usually about 2 weeks before I wash my jeans. I can wear them every day for 2 weeks, and if they don't get dirty then I have no problem wearing them again. Shoot, my work slacks, I go for months.

It's pointless to wash them after every wear. Plus, it seems like I have to stretch them out after I wash them so they'll fit comfortable again.

See, thats the thing. I usually buy jeans with very heavy dye on them. Dark blue/black. They look ragged even after one wash. I fear even dropping food on them because the very act of rubbing off the food can cause a bright spot on them.

about every 2-3 weeks, unless they get dirty.

Well then i would find a new style rather than wear something for two months! I stopped buying dryclean only clothes even if they're comfortable (like cashmere) because i hate cleaning them so often.

Mine rarely go more than 5 wearings without some sort of visible dirt, so that's how often i wash them.

 

[hdeck]

couple uses depending on what is done while wearing them.

 

[RGN]

after about 2 uses... But who take jeans to the cleaners?

 

[Rage187]

after every use for all pants.


and I work in an office. They get wrinkled easy.

 

[Fritzo]

15-20??? Ugh, you're nasty.

If you were going to say 2 or 3 I was going to take your side, but they would be full of leg dander, moisture, and ass gas after 15 wearings :disgust:

 

[TheGizmo]

every 2 - 4 times i wear them.. 15 - 20 is nasty man

 

[Tbirdkid]

every use. no doubt. i sweat profusely though

 

[MisterJackson]

I'll wear a pair twice at the most before washing them.

Your friend is right OP, you're nasty.

 

[everman]

After 2 months I'd think they could stand up and walk to the cleaners on their own.

ArmaniExchange, Hugo Boss and most of the other 'designer' jeans recommend dry cleaning when possible (the colors aren't guaranteed for washer / dryer cleaning if you must, turn them inside out).

You youngin's and your wranglers
