    I'm afraid my smart jeans are not at their best after one wear, they'll do 2 at a push. Denim is much softer these days than it used to be, once upon a time, a pair of jeans would be almost unwearable for a week after washing. Not so now :) me and Chris Cornell, we love 'em :cool:

    Denim is definitely softer. When I was a kid, a new pair of Levi's was practically impossible to wear. And you didn't wear a new pair because your friends would try to wreck them. After getting a new pair of jeans, the first thing you did was was them and use an entire bottle of fabric softener. It made you jeans look like the pre-faded jeans they sell now.

    Oh, and i must be a complete pig. I can go two weeks without washing them wearing them every day. But then again, I am a guy. :D

    I'll wear the same pair a few times-
    do you mean you wear the same ones day after day?

    Yea, I can wear the same ones day after day. I usually don't do anything to get them especially dirty, and I am not a big sweater. It just seems excessive to wash them every few days. However, I always wear a shirt once, before I wash it, and of course, underwear and sox get only one wear before they go to the wash. ;)

    Actually, I do all the laundry, washing and drying. She folds it up and puts it away. We have more trouble over who takes the garbage out. She thinks that is a man's job. :D

    Back to jeans, I just like the feel of a well lived-in pair of jeans.

    my 9 year old(zoe) just took possession of her older brothers jeans last week. she told me she likes them and they fit, so she sees no reason not to consider them hers. i figured shed be at least 13 before she did that. i was wrong.

    I can easily get 7 days out of a pair before washing but I'm a student :rolleyes: I alternate though, I don't wear them for 7 days in a row, I rotate pairs to give them an airing :p

    but, 10 days? wouldn't it at least accumulate some dust or something making it a bit itchy to the skin?

    Not in my experience. They only get more comfortable with each day. I hate wearing recently washed jeans, they're too tight and inflexible.

    See, that is what I am talking about. Freshly washed jeans are more itchy and uncomfortable. I feel the same way. Each day I wear them, they become more comfortable to the point it feels like I am wearing nothing at all.

    i try to get 2 to 3 wears before putting them in the basket, but my wife seems to have a hard on for washing them after every wear. i tell her she doesn't have to do that, it's not like i'm outside rolling around in the mud.

    same thing with hoodies. i always wear a t-shirt under a hoodie, so i don't see the point in washing them after wearing it once. the only time i would want my jeans or hoodies washed after only wearing them once is if i spilled something on them.
    I only wear a hoodie when I'm cold... and always over a tshirt so yep I definitely agree with ya. So the hoodies get washed every couple months :o

    I'm a slob with my jeans... I wash them when they need washing... or if I'm starting to look like a homeless person :o

    My boyfriend does a clothes wash almost every day :eek: I do about one a week.

    I guess none of you have jeans from this company then:

    I wear Citizens. I wash them in cold water inside out and hang dry. I don't muck out stalls or dig ditches in them. I can wear em for a week before washing. Hoodies go a week.

    Depends on the jean and what I'm doing in them for sure. Any with spandex I definitely can't wear more than twice, if that, because they stretch out way too much, but I do like them for certain things. Good old regular jeans, I can usually wear at least a week or more in our cooler weather, unless I'm playing in the mud or something! :)

    i was talking to my cousin about this today, and we both admitted to getting our fave pair of jeans OUT of the dirty laundry basket and wearing them for another day or two :o
