Levi's CEO Agrees: Don't Wash Your Jeans

What about towels, guys? I know people who balk at the idea of reusing a towel for more than one shower, but I go like 1-2 weeks before replacing/washing mine.

I use 3 towels, one for my upper body, lower body and then one for my face and hair. I do about a short week with those 4-5 days.
 
I swear this world gets dumber every day.
Next up will be to wipe your ass with your hands and never wash them again.

Well it sound kinda like suits. Do you think you need to dry clean them after every use? The wool is designed to breathe. With normal use, they have to be dry cleaned every six months at most.

Jeans sound like it might be close to that.

Because they are. If you're not rolling in the mud you should be fine with casual washes every month or so. Jeans just last longer that way.
 
What the fuck am I reading in this thread? I can't figure out what's stranger-that people don't wash their dirty, smelly clothes or that people are putting jeans in the fucking refrigerator.

I gaurantee none of the people bragging about never-washed jeans with no funky smell are married. A woman wouldn't put up with that nonsense.
 
Some of my jeans are like eight years old and I wash them frequently. They seem to last fine, provided they're not some paper-thin American Eagle or GAP jeans or whatever.

Clearly the strangest are those who compulsively wash after every single wear
 
I really don't get this. It's not like denim is some magic super high tech material that doesn't get filthy.

Wash your damn clothes people.

My first impression of this thread as-well, washing machines wear out every item of clothing you put into them over time, why the obsession over jeans?

I guess people will say anything to justify being too lazy to do laundry, and too cheap to buy a new pants every couple years.

"You don't understand! The jeans might LOOK different after washing them! I can put up with the swamp-ass..."

No one is advocating not washing them if you get them muddy, or sweat heavily in them, most people are casually using them sitting, walking small distances and sitting again. If you get swamp ass, and further more you are sweating so much that it is leaking through your underwear, from simply sitting around I think you have bigger problems than needing to wash your jeans incessantly.
 
Hang your jeans in the garden on a windy day to freshen them up nicely.

And if they do need a wash turn them inside out before putting them in the machine.
 
I didn't even know there was a debate over washing your jeans; I seriously wash em as much as I wash my other clothes. Granted, sometimes the pair that I'm currently wearing at said time goes maybe a week or two without being washed, but not because I'm worried about them being damaged, but because I'm lazy.
 
As someone who has dated a jeans guy.

Wash your goddamn jeans. If you are doing manual labor and have a ballsack. Wash them. I can't count the times where I would see him after work and wonder if something died between his legs.. There was even a huge hole in the crotch which would have added ventilation but nope still stank like homeless ass.
