    Long-time minimalist here. Yes. But, I use a bicycle as my main mode of transportation, so my pants see a lot more sweat and friction (and consequently lint) than your usual pants, so they do actually need to get washed more often. Oh and when I do wash them, I put on my second pair of pants. People, don't be so minimalist that it's impractical, please. Trust me, you never know when you'll need a second pair, especially if you're in my position and wear happens more.
    In the winter though when I use the bus they legit don't get smelly or dirty. Oh yeah I live in Slovenia where public transportation is actually clean, so no shit here.

    I think it's very obvious when people double-wear their clothes....it has a distinctive unwashed body smell. I think the person wearing it just gets used to the smell. Like people that never wash their car or people that always have windows closed in their house without airing it out. It's rude to say something but if you've experienced it with other people than the same is probably happening to you.

      Or just air them out. Personally, I wash my jeans after two uses or if I spill food on them but all other pants are washed regularly. If I don't want to wear them down I'll either hand wash, spot treat or steam clean between washes.
      Some fabrics can release smells when left in cooler air (which is why someone suggested freeze cleaning? I think that's what it's called); I just air them out over night. If they still smell they go to the wash. If not, yay me.

    It’s rare that I find a stranger on RUclips speaking TO ME, but this was all so nice and validating to hear. I accidentally fell into not washing my jeans about ten years ago when I simply realized that I didn’t like the way my jeans looked or felt after washing them- so I started going longer and long without washing until eventually I just NEVER washed them. I’ve shared the same experiences as far as replacing due to small holes after a year or three, and also buying jeans you can barely button because by the time you replace them they’re three sizes bigger. They’ll stretch where they need to and stay tight where they can, becoming a perfectly tailored pair over time. I find about eight months in, a pair of jeans is absolutely perfect in every way. I tend to keep only two pairs- one that’s new and one that’s old. When the old one is toast I buy another new one and the old “new pair” becomes the new “old pair.”

    I get that it makes your pants last longer, but personally, especially during the pandemic but even before that, I just feel like if my clothes have touched anything outside of my home, I want to wash them. I don't wanna put worn clothes back in drawers with clean clothes, I don't wanna sit on surfaces in my home in clothes that have been on surfaces outside. I read this thing a few years ago about "no outside clothes in bed" and I think I kinda took that rule and applied it to my entire home in general. So if I come from outside, the first thing I always do is change into fresh clothes for inside. And if I've only worn the pants once and they're still fresh, I leave them in a separate pile to wear again soon instead of putting them back in the drawer with the other clothes.

    I started doing this last year, I think it depends on the type of jeans. I have a pair that's fairly elastic and they do seem to pick up crap over time. I threw them in the wash accidentally once and they did come out looking and feeling better, but I want to test this with a more "original" pair of jeans. Still, I don't think we need to wash as much as we do, and they last much longer if we don't.

    It's worth mentioning that the material pants are made of can impact smell, comfort, and longevity. Fabrics with artificial fibers and blends may be more comfortable, but they get stinky faster (and the smell is far worse imo), and trap heat rather than allowing air to flow through. If you live in a hot climate, I highly recommend a cotton/linen wardrobe (outside of workout clothes).
    Levi's still sells 100% cotton jeans, but they can be harder to find in stores (at least for women, in my experience). Be sure to check the label; many times I've come across pants with the same cut but different fabric blends.

    Kind of the same except I like to wash raw denim after about a month and after two months, because fresh indigo has a pretty sour and nasty smell in itself and I feel like it gets worse when it's saturated with sweat. I also like to change jeans every day to make them wear slower, same as you do with shoes to let them dry out. I used to tear jeans up after 6 months because I sweat nitric acid and it's nice not to shred them as fast anymore.

    On the topic of only having one pair. I've always had a hard time seing the use of having more than one type of cloting for everyday use. Throughout my life I've from time to time asked people if it's wierd to just buy two pairs of the same jeans and the answer has always been a yes, haha. Which I've never understood. I was in heaven when I realized that at least with socks and underpants I can just buy the same model in bulk because no one will notice. And it's great! And now in this recent year I finally dared to take it to the t-shirts as well (maybe thanks to Matt here). I bought 10 white identical t-shirts and 10 identical long sleeved shirts. It feels great! I never have to choose the best one in the morning, or be sad that all my good shirts are dirty and I only have the bad ones left.
    Anyway, I do have several copies of them though instead of only one. Same if I did this with Jeans. I've always only had 2 pairs of jeans, but it's been different models. I'll probably go with one from now on, but still 2. Not one. :)

Did just make couple friends try and tell which trousers were clean just from smell, and they couldn't.

    For people who has already watched the video : I don't remember correctly whether it was the Levi's CEO or if it was a promotion from the brand, the message was about not to wash your jeans but to freeze them by putting it in a refrigerator. Well whoever said that was scientifically wrong anyway. They say freezing the jeans would kill the harmful bacteria. But what they didn't knew was that the same bacteria comes back to the jeans after it's taken out of the refrigerator and when it reaches room temperature. Another thing about this practice of not washing jeans will not be applicable to everyone. It depends on your skin type, how much you sweat, the weather around you or where you live. These factors will determine if you can follow this practice in anyway. Also take into consideration about the profession like whether you are someone who works from home all the time or you have to go out everyday; this no wash routine might not be a problem for the work from home person granted if all the previously mentioned conditions are also in favor.
