This. At most I may have bought an off sale pair for like 22.50 a few years back, but I generally get theirs on sale for somewhere between $12-19. I've had some of them for a long ass time too

Express slim fit straight legs seem to fit me the best. They're $80 I think. But I've already got enough jeans that I usually only buy one pair each year, and only on clearance. Usually around $40-50.

It was around $100 at A&F when I like 18 or 19. Still were the best jeans I've ever had. I still have them too sadly I don't think I will ever be a size 30 again. After that the most I've ever spent is like 40 at American Eagle.

Speaking of jeans, how many times do you guys wear a pair before washing them?

Almost never. If they pass the smell test then they're good. I've heard you should put jeans in the freezer to remove odor over washing them.

$90 for a pair of these Gap Selvege denim jeans. Won't ever do that again, but these jeans are hands down the best fitting pair I own.

I very seldom wash my jeans. Unless they smell, or I get stains on them. I've tried the freezer technique and it does work. I've heard it works better if you have some baking soda in the freezer as well. Haven't tried that though.

Once ... everything gets washed after one time wearing. Wear once wash it..

With the exception of two pair of jeans and one cargo pants that I use for working on the car / truck and gardening ..... They hang in the garage they get washed once a year.... or the wife uses them for Halloween for the Scarecrow then she washes them without me knowing. Nornally I just throw them away and start over every year ... with used Goodwill pair</SPAN>

Ok, I'm not weird then. I'll wear the same pair the entire week as long as they don't smell or get dirty. I've heard of the freezer trick but I haven't tried it yet.

Usually 2-3. I throw them in once a week, so it just depends how many different pairs I wore.

I'm like most of you guys. I wear them til they are dirty or smell.

And every pair of jeans I have is from American Eagle, so no more than $40.

I was there last night picking up some steaks, they were selling the same pair i paid $100 for, for $30. They also had a lot of Nautica and Tommy Hilfiger shirts. I think it depends what Costco you go to and when.

I cant say anything b/c I still wear Polo. I just haven't seen a Nautica or Tommy shirt since high school. I graduated in 2000.

Jeans and short ill wear for probably two weeks until I wash them. They fit better after a few times.
