I remember the raw denim trend in like the early 2010s ans you allegedly weren’t supposed to wash those, but even then that’s a very specific type of jeans we’re talking.
Comment on How many times a year do you wash your jeans?

Where did this ‘never wash your jeans!’ mentality come from?
It feels like jeans - regardless of designer or ‘raw denim’ status - were clothes until about seven years ago, then they became fragile and precious jewels.
News flash: if you’re worried about washing your jeans, you’re inventing problems because you have none of your own.

Same place the never wash your cast iron notion came from. Internet hivemind bullshit.

I went to Europe on 2007 or something and a pair of Levis were stupid expensive. They just make that shit up and create value out of bullshit. Levis have been $30 when they last raised minimum wage in The 90s. These prices make no sense.

The same place all religious and other propaganda comes from. Plus it’s useful to spot the gullible and easily led people so you can avoid them to save your sanity!

The 60’s - when jeans were still very rough material and needed a LOT of breaking in.
Today’s jeans are wimpy by comparison.
But regardless of the material, I wash my pants when they get dirty, not every time I wear them.
