I give them a wash when I first buy them, then never again unless they actually get something on them, which is very infrequent.

This question doesn’t apply to jeans you’re wearing to work in, and expect to get dirty.

    And I’ll keep washing them too! Not that I actually need to often. I work from home and I’m not going to wear jeans around the house like some sort of psychopath.

      Hello fellow non-psychopath!

      I might wear jeans if I have to leave the house to shop, but that’s usually just for an hour or two at most. When I get home the pants come off and put aside for use on another day. The same holds true for all of my “outside” clothes. It’s just wasteful to wash something that’s been worn for an hour a day.

      That being said, there was a whole thing a decade ago with Levi’s. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/20140714180558-14928043-the-dirty-jeans-manifesto/

        Yea, I do that same thing. I have home clothes and outside the house clothes. I don’t wear my house clothes when going out and the outside clothes don’t stay on in the house. That article uses the term denim aficionado several times and that was really strange to me. But then I realized that everyone has a weird thing that they like. So I guess if someone’s favorite thing is denim then I guess do it up.
