When they stand up on their own. That is the time to start and think about washing them.

There are just so many variables!

1)Where do you live? What's the normal climate?
2)What season is it? (these all affect how much you sweat)
3)How tight/baggy are the jeans?
4)How much time do you spend walking in the day?
5)Are you a crusty skut licking hippy?
6)Are there any holes in the jeans?

Personally I can't keep the same pair on for more than two days and I very rarely wear the same item of clothing two days running - ever. It gets well into the thirties and even up to forty or so C in the summer here - so unless I want to be quarintined on the subway train I have to change regularly.

I'm with Tommo. The easy test...

Throw them at the wall. If they stick, time to change. If not, good for another day. Wink

Don't know about standing up on their own?
When they can run away on their own, you can be sure you've over done it.

W-a-s-h what is this new word?

I think you reach the point of no return once the various breeding cultures intertwined with the fabric have advanced to such an extent, that washing them would technically constitute genocide...

...if you'll pardon the pun.

You can wear jeans until the Guinness and kebab stains become too noticable Laughing

I typically go for 2-3 days. Last November when I was on tour in Europe for 2 weeks, I wore the same pair of jeans for that entire 2 weeks. I slept in them, I performed in them, everything. The only time they came off was for a shower every other day or so while hanging over the shower curtain getting wet.

After two weeks of sweat, beer, water, dirt and other nasties, by the time my wife picked me up at the airport back home, I could literally pull the denim apart with my fingers

Days?

I usually change mine when the crotch or zip wears out. But I don't like to brag. Shocked

Hey, crotchless jeans are favoured by some. You're missing a trick! Laughing

For the record, I only own black/grey jeans. I wear them 3-4 times a week and wash them once a week. I imagine I'll wear them less as the weather hots up and they threaten to start running around on their own.

Hmmmmm, jeans. Cool

Apparantly, it has been known for jeans/trousers to have been worn for so long (eg by tramps) that when they have to come off, the leg hairs have intertwined into the material and they have to be cut off!

(Hubby just told me that, don't know if he's just trying to gross me out...)

We had a female where I work who wore the same jeans for so long that she was known as the Blue Tuna. Eventually she got her own office.

If a cat buries your jeans in a litter box, they were past due for a washing.

For me, two days max if the weather is nice and I'm indoors for most of the time. One day if I'm out in the hot weather.

When they start walking around on their own then it's probably time to wash them, or sell them to science Laughing
