How often do you wash your clothes?

Thread Starter 
Title says it all. I'm wondering how often you guys wash your clothes. Having just discovered raw denim this summer and seeing how people don't wash their jeans for 6months or more got me thinking about washing other clothes. I usually wash socks/underwear/shirts after just one use, everything else just waits until it is actually very dirty or get stained/spilled on. But I have been thinking is it really necessary to wash my shirts(well t-shirts) after just wearing it once; I mean as long as I don't sweat like crazy during the day, the shirt smells fine and may not warrant a wash.

So what do you think? What is your washing regimen?

Unlike Uncontrol, I wash my clothes when they get dirty!

Honestly, if I don't sweat or they don't get dirty I don't.

I'll wash t-shirts more frequently cause they get stretched out of shape... I guess actually i'll just throw them in the dryer to shrink them back to tight as fuck.

I wash my button-front t-shirts once every 2-3 times (sometimes less often) I wear them as I find it easier to iron them. Jeans I don't wash until I get drunk and spill something on them. Everything else .. I won't wash until they fail the smell test.

i own a lot of t-shirts, undies and socks, because i chuck them in the washing basket after one day's wear, and only do washing about once a week.


jeans rarely need a wash, perhaps once every 6 months since i rotate a fair bit.

shirts need a wash after a night out.

knits rarely need a wash.

I wash my T shirts, undershirts, socks and underwear after everywhere. I don't ever wash knitwear because I have a huge rotation so they never get dirty. I wash jeans whenever they feel dirty or have stretched too much which is every few weeks. If they're raw and haven't been washed I try to wash after several months.

shirts (all), underwear, socks: weekly (one wear). Except for my pants (denim, khakis) and jackets. Those get washed on a "goddamn this shit reeks" basis. Sweaters, depends on how often i wear them, but I take them to the cleaners about once a month in season.

I wash shirts, tees, socks, underwear, etc. after one wear. Khakis and chambray after a couple of wears. Denim, knits, and outerwear very rarely.

Maybe it's silly, but wearing my underwear more than once before washing just gives me the heebie jeebies.

The only item I don't wash after one wear is my jeans. Anything that needs dry cleaning gets 2-3 wears between.
