I only wash when they get dirty or stinky. Not because of fades, but out of laziness. My demanding first world, white collar lifestyle in the climates I've lived in means that I wash them very infrequently.

Now that laundering your denim is socially acceptable, I'm going to have to move onto stonewashing mine…

Wants denim to reflect life…..worries about how often to wash them to attain this "reflection"....
I could've sworn I pointed this out years ago…;)
My frequent washings are a result of being the parent of two beautiful, happy, slobbery Rottweilers.
Not sure why I'd want to pretend to be someone else

I've always only washed jeans when they smelled or were dirty, and if I were to guess I always will.

Pretty much same as always; I'd estimate I wash around 6 weeks of actual wear, but back in my earlier denimhead days, I rotated through several pairs, so some didn't get washed for 8-10 months. My pair for the HWDC I washed close to monthly, in part just because I was curious to see if it led to anything noticeably different. It didn't. Longest I've ever gone between washings with a pair that was getting worn daily was three months. They didn't really look or smell gross, (Julie agreed, so it wasn't just me getting used to my own funk) but the denim got a weird feel to it and I didn't like putting them on. Washing fixed that.

I've done the ocean soak, I've done the no wash, I've done the many wash. I just like the experience & enjoy doing goofy sh!t. If someone came on & said they bake their jeans in the oven cause they do blah, blah, blah I'm one of the idiots who would say wow I gotta give that a try or why didn't I think of that. All in all I just enjoy exploring different ways to great looking jeans.

You know, baking your jeans would probably be more effective at killing microorganisms than freezing them.

According to physicists the end of the universe is imminent… :o
Fortunately that's imminent on a cosmological scale, which means tens of billions of years. Looks like we're safe there.

Also, I've been wearing my first pair of 634S for over three years now, and they're very nicely faded. The fades aren't forced. They really are from whatever I've doing, and however I'm living. Oh no! a cell phone fade! A wallet fade! A weird blob fade from where I keep my keys in the left pocket. A weird fade where I scratch my balls every day. I also wash them whenever they're dirty, smelly, or feel grimy. I just don't give a fuck. They're Iron Hearts, and they can withstand a fucking washing machine.

I've got one of those on the right side in every pair of jeans I own. I kinda love it.
