Look Ma New Jeans! Should I wash them?

I did a bit of Post-CNY shopping last weekend. Princess had her silly Japanese friend visit us over the weekend and we brought him around.
His name is Masato. I gotta say that Japanese tourists are the most fun to take around. They’re so enthusiastic about everything you show them. Princess and I brought him for Klang Bak Kut Teh and he was so damn impressed.
Then again… it’s Klang Bak Kut Teh… who wouldn’t be impressed.
Anyway, towards the last few months of last year I started my jogging regime. Every morning I would wake up at 6AM just go to jog around KLCC Park before I come home, shower then go off to work.
Then just starting this year I went back to the gym to do a little bit of working out.

The result… my waistline had dropped from 34″ to 31″ and I suddenly needed new jeans.
So I found myself at The Curve last weekend with Princess and Masato and bought myself two new pairs of jeans from Levi’s.
Tadaaaaaa…. check out my new jeans!
I like jeans.
I mean heck, it’s just the best investment in clothing. I wear it for everything. I wear it when I go out on weekends and I even wear it to work every day since Nuffnang’s office dress code is casual, then again so is just about the rest of the advertising industry. I remember once going for a digital advertising conference in Singapore. I wore a suit thinking that well.. it was a conference right?
Little did I realize that everyone there was just dressed in shirts and jeans. That’s all! Jeans have somehow become the new work clothes, at least in my industry.
And it’s the kind of thing where you can spill shit on it and you won’t even have to feel bad because most of the time you can’t even see it.

Here’s the thing about jeans that I’m not sure about though.
I wash my jeans once every 3 days but I have some friends who say that you should never wash your jeans so often. Only once a week or even once a month. I have a friend who said she never once washed any of her jeans. That jeans is not for washing.
Another friend of mine told me that he didn’t wash his jeans for 3 months and when he eventually did, the water he washed it with turned all black.
So what is true? You tell me. 
How often do you wash your jeans? Do the poll on my sidebar.
