      @ROman:

      I also rotate quite a few pairs, depends on the weather where I am traveling to, and my mood.

      ^^^ 😉

      Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
      Well, I have others.

        Good to hear people’s answers.

        Myself , i pretty much stick to 2 pairs. One for work which get trashed and another for weekend / going out. I do bring a heavily faded pair out of lighter weight denim sometimes in the summer.

        I have this weird thing where  basically once I start wearing a pair and they start to have any wear on them. I want them to fade as fast as possible.

          1. My “nice” jeans, for going out for a nice dinner, meeting aristocracy or appearing in court.

          So I'll see that pair in April right?..  😛

          I currently have two pairs: one black, one indigo. Both acquired in November, wasn't the plan to go back to jeans, really… Fine with just rotating workpants...

            I have a ridiculous number of pants, and a lot of them are jeans.  There are about three pairs that get consistent wear, and the rest get buried on the shelf in the closet until I remember them again.  It does bother me sometimes that it takes a long time to see the full potential of my jeans.  This doesn't keep me from getting more, though.  😉

              I'm somewhere in the neighborhood of 25-30 different pairs of jeans from all different brands, I usually wear one for a period of time until I put on another that I enjoy more.
              I like collecting so I don't mind that some will never get fully beat up, and then sometimes I'll sell a few off to get some cash for other new pairs.  😃

                3 pairs in rotation. IH-555-01, Self Edge x Strike Gold & a pair of SDA SD-007. All get a rotation & wear. Keen for a new pair of IH, but what’s new  😃

                  I have 4 pair, but don't think you could call it a rotation. I keep a primary pair that see wear 4-5 days of the week. As it's getting colder, my XHS are again taking that spot. My others will earn a couple days a month as conditions permit

                      great question @spitfiredealer

                      the simple answer to your 2 part question is as follows

                      yes, i have more than one pair of denim.

                      no, it doesn't bother me to have a couple pairs on deck. i enjoy denim and do not really care about the end result of heavy use. do not get me wrong, i love well-worn denim, but that tends to happen regardless for me when the fit works for my body type. actually, even when my body type doesn't work i tend to hold on (555-02 with like a half dozen repairs)

                      i enjoy different types of denims and cuts and usually as long as i can clear a transfrisker i hold onto them for a little while. i also tend to purchase denim that is unique enough with or without wear that the difference is evident with or without wear.

                        Well put @madmonday!  I've always gravitated to items that are rare and unique (which is how I stumbled upon IH in the first place).  Also, for the record, I can't even recall how many pairs of denim I own at the moment  ???

                          Another vote for @madmonday‘s response. I have a number of pairs in various brands, weights, colours and fits. The hairiness and feel of my Momos, the slub and weft of my XX-014s, the perfect (for me) black colour of my 777S-21BLKs, each is special and unique (to me at least.)

                            I rotate between 2 pairs. I think I own 12+ pairs of jeans but decided I needed to wear what I have instead of buying more denim that will sit in my closet. Both are showing pretty good evo so i'm gonna beat those into the ground and then start on a new pair from the closet

                              About 30 pair of Jeans (I lost the overview) in different brands.
                              When I wear Jeans (I prefer Workpants currently) than is this gear in rotation ->

                              2.) IH-634S-18
                              3.) IH-634S-14

                                I've got 6-7 pairs, though I plan to dump a couple soon.  And yes, it does bother me that I have jeans I never wear.  That's why I talked myself out of buying a pair of natural indigo Sd'A jeans this weekend, even though Self Edge is selling them for more than 50% off original price right now.

                                Ummm, had to edit this.  I'm weak.  It's shameful.

                                  I'm sure most of us can relate, @Chris.  I'm looking forward to seeing some pics of them in the near future!

                                    Has there ever been a world tour for a shirt or jacket? It would be cool to see what we could do to a ihsh-33.

                                      Funny you mention that, I was just thinking the same thing since I have the 888WT jeans right now.
                                      I think it'd be pretty cool.

                                        There was movement for a jacket tour a while ago. Never materialised because of sizing issues. Good idea though.

                                          Evo is even harder to get on a jacket, but I'd love to be in a jacket world tour. Especially if People would add some customisation, like patches, stitching, pins and the like. And as XL seems to be the fastet selling size and happens to be my size as well… 😎

                                            That would exclude me, but I’m more interested in seeing the outcome. A shirt would probably work better though because it is more likely to be wearable year round.
