I love that you ask “per year.” Tell me your clothes are dirty without saying your clothes are dirty.😜
Jeans & shirts & pants I hang up and don’t wash often. I have lots of them, so not sure of the interval but maybe 10 - 15 wears? Underwear and workout clothes I wear once and wash.
Office job, I do bike in but not far. Merino wool t shirts or loose shirts for work.
Of course if I spill something on them I wash them.
When they smell bad. Even when I wash I use delicate detergent and use the handwash setting and no spin/wring. It’s overkill but I like the ritual of caring for clothes.
If I wear them daily, then weekly. So about once every 5–7 wears.
The same amount as any other article of clothing,
I just wear them in the shower
Jeans? Kinda depends on the use.
Most days, I don’t do shit that dirties anything but underwear, which gets changed at least daily. So in most senses, any given pair of jeans can go weeks without accumulating anything but dead skin cells, some skin oil, and some of my pimp juice.
That being said, I ain’t going to wear the same pair more than three days unless my back is so fucked up that changing them isn’t realistic.
Given that I’ve accumulated jeans over the years in various sizes as my body changed post-disability, I have enough pairs that I could hypothetically change pants every day and not wear the same pair twice in a month. Mind you, I’m bigger than I was for some of them and can’t wear them. I’m also smaller than I was for some of them, and even a belt can’t make them comfortable to wear for long. So I have maybe a dozen pair that are in rotation, plus a couple that are for when I’m doing something really grungy (like OP’s mom).
Assuming my brain isn’t fucked (and I’m only on lemmy to keep myself from going nuts until I can head to the hospital for a family member, so it’s fucked), that would work out to any given pair being washed ten-ish times a year? I think? It’s math, so I’m probably wrong.
I do know that most months, I only have to do two loads of laundry that isn’t underwear. If I only wore jeans, the math would work out, but there are days I don’t wear jeans, so I dunno.
5,tops.
I wash my clothes when they’re smelly or dirty. Washing them when they’ve only been worn once is insane and terrible for the environment.
I haven’t worn jeans for probably over 15 years. They don’t last a year use so I stopped buying new pairs and go with cargo pants instead.
I still have two pairs of jeans from when I was 15 they still fit and they still look new.
The jeans I bought 8 months ago are already falling apart and the zipper has gone to shit.
Same brand of jeans I always bought. They just are shit now.
Given that I do laundry roughly once a week, often pushing it past that a bit to maybe a week and a half or so
And I don’t wear jeans much during the summer, and generally prefer other styles of pants
Probably around 30 times a year.
I normally only wear them once before washing. Sometimes twice if the weather’s cool and I haven’t done much to get sweaty/dirty or if they were only worn for part of the day. There’s some extenuating circumstances where I might push it beyond that, like if I’m camping it’s possible that I might wear the same jeans for a long weekend (but with fresh undies every day)
I don’t buy nice jeans, pretty much just whatever Walmart or target has in stock in my size. I get a few years out of a pair as day-to-day jeans, once they start showing too much wear they might get downgraded to work pants for when I’m doing yard work, painting, etc. at which point they get washed when that job at hand is done, usually one day but for a particularly big job I may wear them for a few days.
When I can see the boogers piling up.
Once a week.
I sweat a lot, I wash them when they feel dirty. Are you not supposed to wash denim? It’s not like it’s wool and covered in sheep grease
When they’re visible dirty. Otherwise, if they just stink but are otherwise clean, I fold them up and put them in the freezer overnight.
