ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

i assume you don't exercise?

i shower every day but only once and don't exercise

i do, 3-5 mi walk every day, yoga, neither bring a lot of sweat unless it's super hot

yeah obviously you shower after exercising always

does this even need to be said?

depends on the exercise imo

some people don't sweat that much but you are in a place that is infested with other people's germs

also i do tihnk people have different levels of sweat, stank, b.o., oils, hair texture, etc. i would be a crusty dry flaky mess if i showered 2x day or even every day.

i don't go to a gym if that's waht you are talking about xp

ya or yoga studio

agree with marcus mostly about the clothes, i never wash jeans, i try to avoid washing sweatshirts and obv wool sweaters or whatever not at all. i have a spray for jeans that makes them smell nice. socks and underwear, t-shirts and shirts, i wash all those very regularly. washing often damages clothes.

ring around the collar is 100% real and I worry a little about folks when I notice it on their shirt

I'd like to know about this jeans spray.. I try not to wash mine too often but they do start to smell a bit weird, and what's more noticeable is when you put them on and they feel a bit greasy or something...

RIP big guy

you wore a lot of clothes

yall non washin stinky motherfuckers

Anyway, change of subject but I got some nice Adidas Superstars in a sale but realised they look a little weird in skinny/tapered jeans. Thinking of getting something a little baggier, or possibly some decent-looking joggers to wear with them but I'm kind of out my depth. I only really wear joggers to slouch round the house and they're cheapy Lonsdale ones from Sports Direct. Quite like the idea of reviving a baggier look but don't want to look throwbacky. WWYD?

Many of them avoid washing their jeans for as long as possible - and it seems that the fabric may have some as yet unexplained capacity to stay clean.

Last year a microbiology student at the University of Alberta, Josh Le, wore the same pair of raw denim jeans for 15 months without washing them and then tested their bacterial content.

He tested them again two weeks after washing them and found the bacterial content to be much the same .

"This shows that, in this case at least, the bacteria growth is no higher if the jeans aren't washed regularly," said Rachel McQueen, a professor of textile science, who worked with Le on the informal scientific experiment.

But while different people wear jeans in different ways, the most traditional styles remain among the most popular.

notice that it didn't say the bacterial content was low; just that it was unchanged

some ppl put their jean in the freezer when they start to stink lol

yeah I've done that

i just washed a pair of jeans after a scant 4 months though because i spilled burrito juice on them :/

Living in AZ means you have to wash things more, more sweat, more swass, more bounce to the ouunce. Also, wearing pants here in the summer is v v dumb, flip-flops and shorts is just about the only option. i have to wear pants to work but best believe the first thing I do when I walk in the house is get some shorts on and shoes/socks off.

it's not very clear in that article but from reading this article: https://www.ualberta.ca/news-and-events/newsarticles/2011/01/jeansremainsurprisinglycleanafterayearofwear

it's more so an indication that raw jeans is not an environment where bacteria can breed more bacteria, which is as good as it gets in terms of clothing i would say

my understanding is that it was a very casual experiment, but i found this video which i have not watched, that might have more info:

uh guys the result was that the bacteria level is the same after two weeks and 15 months, not 15 months and _immediately after washing_

ya

sorry i didn't mean 15 months and immediately after washing

just means that 15 months incubation makes bacteria impervious af

feel like the main thing that's getting glossed over here by all the sweat talk is farts

do you guys know how bad the ass on these jeans smells

maybe but that researcher couldnt find traces of ecoli or poop content so thats a minor miracle

I reread the article, there is absolutely no mention of whether poop content was detected or tested for

"I expected to find some bacteria associated with the lower intestine such as E. coli, but was surprised to find there weren't any, just lots of normal skin bacteria," said McQueen, who carries out research in the development of odour and its relationship to bacteria in textiles.

i trust my underwear to soak up my farts

again, no bacteria

do you think poop is 100% bacteria

bacteria is what spreads disease and such so it's what matters

good god people, wash your damn jeans. cold / delicate cycle + delicate detergent if you're worried about it.

never

washing your jeans once a year is fine it wont damage them

washing your jeans will not only not damage them, washing your jeans is good for them

2x/month warm water and dry in normal/regular cycle

boom
