There's no Such Thing as a Stupid Question

How do you count the amout of wears for you rotation stuff?
i have 5 shirts in rotation for this winter and i'd like to keep an eye on how many time i have wear this one or that one
any tips?

@Pinkpan pure guestimation is how I do it. My 555S-SBG are what I wear daily at the moment, and I got them when they last restocked so work back from that!

If you're really set on it, keep a tally digitally I suppose.

@Pinkpan another forum member made a spreadsheet like tracker to keep tally of wears. He posted it somewhere (I can’t recall)
@Oaktavia might be able to repost it for ya…

@Pinkpan not super applicable for shirts, but for jeans I bought some little leather patch fade logs and I store them in the little "change" pouch on the right pocket, and I take them out, mark with a a sharpie & put them on my dresser before bed at night so I can tell if I remembered to do it or not. The only problem is one of them fell out of my pocket once! So the aesthetic is nice, but digital certainly works better if you can remember to do it.

Here is a blank chart in a Google Document. You may want to add column on the right for number of washes. Just make a copy if you want to use one.

@Pinkpan I believe @SKT showed me the wear tracker app and that’s what I use. Super helpful app to track wears.

@ZackB thanks for the mention but I don’t think it was me. I just use the Notes app in iOS and record stuff there. Looks like this

@pinkpan I keep IOS notes for my wears and measurements but I only count wears on denim. Fun to keep track of just to compare and keeping track of measurements helps kinda as a buying guide.

[SKT]

I should add that this denim hobby really lets my ocd shine… no shame

[WhiskeySandwich]

@SKT lol, dude i was just trying to explain why my hands were blue to a co-worker.... i got like 5 sentences in, which was probably 4 too many, before i just realized I should do myself a favor and change the subject.

@WhiskeySandwich hahaha, we just moved and bought new furniture, only to realize I can’t sit on any of it because it’s white

[WhiskeySandwich]

@ZackB keep the receipts?

[ZackB]

@WhiskeySandwich got em! Or I can just have my indigo spot on the couch.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@ZackB give the couch some wabi-sabi. Gotta spread it around though, hahah, one spot would look funny

@goosehd thanks! Might be able to add to that thread soon.

@ZackB we have a white chair in our front room. Thought it’s nothing fancy, I am eternally banned from sitting in it.

@SKT your notes practice changed my life. I keep all kinds of data on each item (washes, pre: post wash measurements, fade progress, price paid and date of purchase etc) in my own notes app now since you showed me this trick.

I used to have random notebooks all over the house I’d randomly annotate these things in. Now it’s conveniently stored in one place. I still use the random notebooks for my finances though…which drives my accountant wife and all her spreadsheets crazy!

[SKT]

@Mizmazzle hell yeah dude, we gotta keep those details TIGHT
