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.)

I’m guessing this guy doesn’t do much physical work either.
What about his underwear?
He turns them inside out a few times.... yuck..
The difference is I work and he sits.
Even if he sits, he perspires and the cotton absorbs it. Skin contact alone transfers a bunch of bacteria that we have on us all the time.
And he probably has a few hundred pairs of jeans to wear.
Yeah, he wears them once then puts on a new pair.
He’s also an idiot. Washing jeans makes them wear out faster as he admits. I guess he doesn’t realize that the faster they wear out the more jeans he sells.
Levi’s was one of the early pro-gay corporations.
If you’re wealthy enough to wear a new pair every day, okay then. I don’t know how “green” that is.
Another CEO who is obviously a liar, or surrounded by Yes-men, who won't mention his bad BO.
If a person sweats into a pair of jeans, they are going to take on salt and bacteria. I've taken off clothes that had salt stains on them. I doubt this man has ever had on a pair of jeans that were dripping wet from perspiration.
Levi’s was one of the early pro-gay corporations.
Yep. And I haven’t had to grapple with the question of the frequency of washing Levi’s for many a long year.
Insanity. Doing laundry will destroy life as we know on planet earth.
Bergh? Figures, German. Probably showers once a year, too. How’d you like having him sitting next to you at a restaurant?
maybe he does what i do... have them dry cleaned :)
If you want to smell of a$$, and dog, and sweat and oils and... just gross.
On the other hand, if you are an outlaw biker, you are not PERMITTED to wash your denim. Your crew will urinate on your jacket, etc. and you are to wear it as a badge of honor.
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
Levi’s jeans lose their shape after around 3 days without washing. If you like your pants sagging down and smelling of garbage, by all means go ahead and wash them once a year...
