Care For Your (Denim/ Wool/ Cotton)

Thanks for the great answer, DrPat. I haven't seen those beetles around. I have sometimes a little beetle that comes in from the outside (this is Texas and even cockroaches occasionally find their way in) but that's all.
I do have one problem that is insect unrelated with my Smedley polos. Often I don't tug those in. So they rub against my belt buckle. They have a tiny hole all in the same place.
My machine is a washing only LG frontloader that's very gentle on the clothes. Fortunately holes appear rarely and, as you say, more often in wool fibers. I am not as good about washing my sweaters regularly as I should be.

Only soap I use. Not only to wash my jeans, but also to wash mysélf!.. Excellent products!..

I was in Atlanta this week, eating at South City Kitchen (some of the best food I've ever had) for the fourth frickin time in a week, and got a big glob of banana pudding on my SEXIH07BKs that I just got last week…left a weird looking mark on my thigh and couldn't take it anymore...off for a soapy soak...

I think the reason I can get away with washing my jeans very infrequently is because I don't eat desserts – which can get very messy ! The most I spill on my jeans is drips and drops of coffee -- which just sorta blends in and adds to the patina, so I don't worry about it.

Wait, so you guys are going to pay (it's a gift I understand) $40 for a detergent that is pure soap on coconut oil/potassium basis? You do realize that chemically that is basically the same as a Castille or Marseille soap on olive oil/potassium basis? The cleaning properties will be identical for practical purposes.
You can get the same effect from a $4 piece of Marseille soap. Except that that piece is not packed in plastic and does not need to be shipped around the world thereby creating a rather big carbon footprint. And I'm not even going to talk about the rather obscene margin that would make me feel super ripped off. I would accept that as a gift as to not offend the giver but I would certainly not buy it.
And all of that is beside the fact that our denim is still 100% cotton and thus can be washed perfectly fine with any decent brand detergent, your hair shampoo or ivory soap for that matter.

Stewart, Tfar's pretty eloquent on these matters so I wont go on at length but wabi-sabi (often shortened to wabi) is about the aesthetic qualities and beauty of entropy effect on objects - but it is much more nuanced than that. Wikipedia has a useful enough entry as a starting point.

That one bottle of soap isn´t gonna break me. Besides - I only wash denim 4 times a year - so this bottle will last me a long time.
