How often do you chuck your jeans in the laundry? If it's more than once a year, the CEO of Levi's thinks you're doing it wrong. At a green-themed conference sponsored by Fortune, Chip Bergh said he practices what he preaches. "These jeans have yet to see a washing machine," he said of the pair he had on, which he has owned for a year. "I have yet to get a skin disease." (Bergh didn't say how often he wears them.)

Pro-homosexual, and anti-self-defense.
Homeless Chic is in this season.
classy language. This used to be a family friendly site.
Whether he needs it or not!
as I understand it....some high priced jeans are supposed to be frozen...not washed....Ugh as well
Don’t wash your jeans...another thread suggests not bathing as often...while other threads discuss legalized pot...any irony here?
He has a slight point. I wouldn’t go an entire year, but I’ll wear jeans at least 5 times before washing them.
hippy
It takes me about 3 weeks to cut and split my firewood supply. I usually get a lot of chain oil and wood fiber in the jeans and my wife does not like them in the washing machine so I’ll usually take one pair and wear them every day until the fire wood is finished.
Then they go into the trash.
I hope he’s not dating one wipe Sheryl Crow.
Disgusting
“Levi’s CEO: No Need to Wash Your Jeans”
They’re out there folks! Once had a college professor who refused to use deodorant to protect the environment. Smelly idiots!!
I would hate to be a midget standing behind him in an elevator.
You can’t wash these new tissue-thin jeans as often. They’ll break down. Check the fabric weight of a new pair of jeans to the ones you had for years.
Man I was rolling when Eddie Murphy went through that skit.
That sounds like a good plan. For me it’s just too much laundry. We have 3 boys under 10. Unless they’ve been rolling around in the dirt, how dirty can their school pants be? Let them wear them a few times...
I’m in the military and have dozens of extra utility pants. Every time you deploy they give you more stuff. Thats my go to wood splitting pants...
I’m so impressed. If you only wear your Levi’s one day a year, why wash them often? My Levi’s on the other hand head for the washing machine by themselves after working in them.
Each generation of kids have their own way of dressing, to either be “cool” or to rebel against the established way of doing things. Like kids today who wear their pants down so their underwear shows, or kids who wore jeans with holes all over them or the bell bottoms of the 60’s. Anything to be different.
My dad grew up as a kid in Arizona in the late 20’s and early 30’s, living, what was then rural desert outside of a much smaller Phoenix, on a horse ranch. He told me that when he was a teenager, the thing for kids to do was to buy a new pair of Levi’s, put them on and sit in a bathtub full of the hottest water they could stand. Then they walked the jeans dry and never, ever washed them. Ever. They’d get stiff and shiny with dirt and that made them all the more cool. They wore them with the bottoms folded up into cuffs that were 6-8” high. That was their “style”, he said, and he still wore cuffs rolled up on his jeans as he got older, though he did wash them. He said the style irritated his parents but that was part of being cool back then.
