Do these jeans not start to smell with that little washing?
No.
Dirty scumbags…..not washing your clothes for 6 months?
How many pairs are you meant to own so that don’t get dirty or smell?
I think that the most I have worn a pair of jeans for is maybe just over a week and they needed a wash. They weren’t dirty but they just feel grubby.
We’re not talking ‘clothes’, rather a pair of denims that are almost certainly getting fairly light wear; nobody pays significant amounts of money for a quality pair of selvedge denims to wear to work or do the gardening or whatever in. Proper selvedge indigo denim has quite a strong smell of its own, that doesn’t fade much over time. I have a pair of Howies indigo denims, bought three or four years ago, and washed once. They still only smell of indigo dye.
They only get a bit of mud on the legs when I’m out walking in the country, and they don’t look dirty, or feel it, but they only get worn evenings or weekends, the rest of the time I wear shorts or Danish army combats.
