Do your guys' jeans smell real bad? Especially those of you who actually do physical activities in them? I can't imagine wearing jeans for as long as you guys do, without washing them!

^ B...when it gets to that point, a wash and/or soak usually occurs. Or some cases, Febreeze.

So far, with all my pairs, no odors.......

my pants reeks, especially since I started working at a plant nursery. I just let it air out for a day or two.

Hehe, man, the things you gotta go thru to make a pair of jeans look nice. I don't wear my jeans daily, so I don't wash them often, but if there's any amount of good sweating going on, you better believe they're going in the wash! I don't think jeans should be able to stand up on their own!

Well, hmmmm.....these do, haha:

^^ LOL

I've got 3 pairs of jeans that I rotate on a daily basis - A.P.C New Standards - Black pair I just got for my birthday a month ago, Indigo pair I've had since the Christmas before last, then a pair of the Gap Skinny Fit Selvadge jeans that I've had for about a year. I've never washed any of them and I work, play, skate, and generally mess around in what ever pair I'm wearing. If I notice them getting a little funky or I hang at a place where there's a lot of smoking - I'll hang them in the bathroom for a couple days and steam of the shower seems to take care of any lingering smells. Now that it's getting nice outside, I've hung them outdoors to freshen them up as well. I've never really gotten them that funky that it was an issue and aside from the new ones, I'm over a year without washing the other pairs.

Those IH pics are funny...lookin' like some homeboy's starched Solo jeans...hehe.

^ Haha, yup, after a soak, they're 23oz, so stiff they can stand on its own.

I wonder how many times the wind was an issue at that photo shoot

so. i'm trying to get a pair of A.P.C rescue. my true waist is 31-32 ( I lost and gain weight all the time). what size should i get to it fits like levi 501? i'm thinking about size 29 but 28 might do too
