I give them a wash when I first buy them, then never again unless they actually get something on them, which is very infrequent.

This question doesn’t apply to jeans you’re wearing to work in, and expect to get dirty.

    I’d say I wash a pair of jeans about 10-14 days after first wearing them (often in rotation with another pair). I wash them inside out at 30 degrees and use a laundry sanitiser in addition to a non bio detergent, and hang dry. My jeans are mostly Levi’s 501s (nice enough, not crazy fancy or anything), and I’d say even the pair that’s a few years old now doesn’t look much different from when they were new
