I have one pair of fairly expensive AG jeans. I wash them maybe every 5-7 wears and spot clean in between. I wash them inside out in cold water on gentle then air dry on a rack overnight. I touch them up with a cool iron to keep them neat looking.

A good rule of thumb: when your jeans will stand up by themselves it is time to wash them.

Interesting, how we all differ... I really dislike dark blue jeans & like the look & feel when they soften & the fabric & color breaks down through washing. I wonder what Cooper's designer mum thinks about her son's 6-mo no jeans washing rule?

Of course Anderson never sweats or shovels manure.
I'll take your word for it... I can't get passed 1-min in the clip. I don't like AC (as a Vanderbilt, I'm sure he doesn't shovel NYC snow either) or daytime tele... it makes my head want to explode.

I don't keep track but I wash all my jeans every other week, so I probably get 2-3 wears on average per pair.

Wash frequency is contingent upon activity or occasion when it comes to jeans. I always wash them on gentle if they're not soiled in some fashion and, always in cold water coupled with hanging to dry afterwards. With a little care, you can keep your jeans nice looking and comfortable for a very long time.

Depends on when they're worn, but the average is probably a washing after 3 wears.

They get washed in cold and never put through the dryer.

Every other week--or after 7-8 times worn.

Probably one or two times per week.

I go a very long time in between wears on my jeans. No set rule; just whenever I decide to wash them. They are much more comfortable when "worn in".
