How many days wear from jeans?

How many days wear do you get from your jeans normally?

I see some mums at the school gates who look like they wear a fresh pair of jeans every day, without any bagginess at the knees etc. But that is an awful lot of washing and ironing. Just wondering what other people do?

a week or so.

RingtheBells · 05/04/2015 16:42

Well for a start I don't iron them and then anything from 1 to 4 wears depending on what I have done in them or how hot its been. Am much more likely to wash them more in the summer as they can hang outside

MrsPresley · 05/04/2015 16:43

if I'm working then a clean pair every day, (I only work 3 days though) but I will wear them again at the weekend and days off, so probably 2 sometimes 3 wears

Iloveonionchutney · 05/04/2015 16:43

As long as they take to get dirty, 4-5 days maybe upto a week.

PrincessOfChina · 05/04/2015 16:44

Probably a couple, just once if work jeans (so smart black skinnies). I don't iron though and definitely don't ever iron jeans.

Never iron my jeans,

Probably wear them 2-3 times, & they don't go baggy.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 05/04/2015 16:45

3 days - or 4 days at the very most. The knees go baggy otherwise.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 05/04/2015 16:46

Never iron them.

Unescorted · 05/04/2015 16:47

The pair I am wearing now can almost walk by themselves, they have been used for the gardening and cleaning fest that has been easter so far. I have just been to the local shop and realised how gross they are.

Normally 3-4 times.

PetiteBateau · 05/04/2015 16:47

Who on earth irons jeans? There lies madness

BabyGanoush · 05/04/2015 16:47

3 days for me

LagartijaNick · 05/04/2015 16:50

As long as they take to get dirty. No ironing.

PuppyMonkey · 05/04/2015 16:50

Three days, no ironing.

DramaAlpaca · 05/04/2015 16:50

A week or so unless they get visibly dirty, and I wouldn't dream of ironing them.

DS1 would wear his for weeks on end if I'd let him.

Mominatrix · 05/04/2015 16:54

2 days of wearrior to washing. Not do bothered About ironing.

Talisin · 05/04/2015 16:56

2 days, after that they're smelly (possibly looser jeans than skinnys would last longer). Why the hell would you iron jeans!?

I usually wear them for a couple of days. I iron most of my clothes but I never iron my jeans.

Judydreamsofhorses · 05/04/2015 17:47

Usually just once - I wear black skinnies for work a lot and have a load of identical pairs. When they get a bit faded I put them through a wash with Dylon to smarten them up. I never iron jeans although I do iron most other clothes.

almondcakes · 05/04/2015 17:50

Two, and I always iron jeans. Maybe this is because I have no tumbler so my jeans are more creased after drying.

RatOnnaStick · 05/04/2015 17:53

3 days without small children, 1 with. I don't iron jeans either.

almondcakes · 05/04/2015 17:53

DS (teenager) also changes jeans every two days, and acts like it is a form of neglect if an ironed pair is not available.

Thisishowyoudisappear · 05/04/2015 18:28

Never iron them, wash them only when they look or smell dirty. I don't believe washing is good for denim!

SwedishEdith · 05/04/2015 18:32

Only when obviously dirty or losing their shape.

shadesofwinter · 05/04/2015 18:51

I probably wear them 3 or 4 times if they're not visibly dirty. Another non-ironer here.
