Has any here tried not washing their jeans for 6 months?

sa totoo lang,
i think we filipinos are among the cleanest people.
we do not usually wear the same shirt we wore yesterday and the day before that...
.. is my observation correct...?
heh heh.

errr,
unless dirtied up, i would wear my pants at least three times, before washing it. overnight to 2 days' airing, before re-use.

Maybe its because our climate is tropical that most of us here hindi kakayanin feeling if walang ligo just for a day.

Unlike sa other countries that they will only experience summer for 3 months, the rest are colder days.
These colder days are the reason some of these people rarely take a bath everyday.

I have 2 Raw Levi’s. A 501 & a 505. I also have 3 pairs of Uniqlo Selvedge raw & 2 pairs raw. Between Levi’s & Uniqlo, I like the fades of the Uniqlo maybe because the Uniqlos have a deeper indigo dye & maybe the weave is better. The crotch of 2 of the selvedge ones blew out already owing to the light weight quality. I stll wear them because I find the contrast in the fades so unique.
The 501’s went through all the soaking, vinegar, starching & close to 5 months of no washing. Since it is a regular fit, it was hard to define the fades (whiskers, railroad tracks, stacking & honeycomb) pero meron din & imo, the honeycomb had a 3d effect. I retired those jeans after got the nice fades & shifted my attention to the Uniqlos. I still have an unworn raw & occasionally worn selvedge raw that are almost 4 years old. Still dark, dark blue. I bought natural colored full grain belts for them. Except for these 2, all my other jeans are washed. Mabilis masira if you won’t wash them.

How often do you wear them? And for how long per usage?

Ang pantalon sa akin isang araw lang laba na. Ang t shirt or polo shirt, minsan nakaka 4 ako sa isang araw. Kada labas, palit kaya may maliit ako storage box sa kotse. Lagayan malinis at madumi na damit.

How much did you get your Japan Blue?
Indonesia makes very good selvedge jeans, Sage ang brand. A lot cheaper than Japanese ones. Gets featured in Heddles, magaganda fades.

I forgot already. Sabay ko binili with my Momotaro in Kyoto that time. I think my momotaro was around 12k? And Japan Blue was around 7k yata.

But you’re right. Mas maganda fading if slim fit yung jeans hehe yung Japan Blue ko regular fit so mas matagal bago nag fade
