For those who buy good quality jeans such as myself in the prices range of $150-$300. How do you go about washing them? or how many times do you wear your jeans before washing them?
Quite a few people told me that Denim is not like other fabrics, they hold little to no odor, its really hard to get them dirty unless you have a stain. And your supposed to wash them like once every 6 months or so to preserve fit and dye. In between that time if they do exhibit any type of order of funk lol just let them air out on a clothes line or spray some Febreeze and bam. no odor. and you sometimes put them in the freezer to kill any bacteria
So I thought about it and thought I would try this with 3 pairs of new jeans I bought in October. 2 pairs are Lucky Brand and the other is 7 by mankind (A pockets). So following the advice above, I try my best to wear them as much as I can. each pair has like 15-20+ wears to them and I just compared them to some jeans I bought in May that I wash like every 1-2 wears and the difference is night and day
The Jeans I haven't washed has fit and formed to the shape of my body and fits like a glove!!! not to mention they still look brand new with no discolor with the dye at all
While the ones that I did wash are either too tight or too loose and look worn as Hell. So it seems my peers were right about how to wear your jeans etc. but I'm still not too comfortable with not washing them. seems a bit dirty
