Currently have 4 pairs in rotation. 777XHS,Pronto/IH II-25OZ,Pronto/IH 22OZ Indigo/Beige,and my VS/IH 777-SBG. They all have their own distinctive characteristics,and they’ll each probably get about 40 days wear and a couple of washes between now and May. As the weather gets warmer I’ll put the 25OZ denim away,and pick up some of my 21OZ. Doesn’t bother me.

Q1 - 6ish pairs in rotation.
Q2 - Yes because it takes me much longer to have my jeans look as worn in as I'd like. However, even new my rotation doesn't really look the same (IH-666XHS, IH-777s14-OD, Strike Gold x Self Edge, Companion Denim 14 oz Japanese Red Line denim, Kapital Century Denim 123s, Roy Peanuts Cone Mills denim). -
@spitfiredealer Self Edge has the green buffalo unless you're an XL - http://www.selfedge.com/iron-heart?product_id=1664.

Typical I am of course a XL! But thank you

Question 1:
Are you a 1 - 2 pairs max person or have you got a load of pairs of jeans in rotation?Question 2: If you have loads,
Does it not bother you that you can’t give all those pairs any decent wear and must have a wardrobe full of jeans that basically look the same.I have a couple of pairs. I've still had a couple of drinks from after Thanksgiving…......

I always buy more than 1 pair, because if I like them and wear them to work, with some chemicals I deal with, I can easily destroy a pair within minutes. Not that I try to, but shit happens.

Funny thing, the second pairs of Iron Hearts I bought were from Self Edge S.F. 634S-SEXIH13, which I forgot about, but I'm wearing them today. I first got this pair in 2014, dropped a slab of PVC glue on them, and then found IH UK. rest is history, but I still like them. I also have another pair or 2 of them.
-
I also rotate quite a few pairs, depends on the weather where I am traveling to, and my mood.

A1: Currently 7 pairs. Soon to be 8 ( 633S-OD in the works, from SE )
A2: It doesn't bother me, at all. My current line-up includes:
PBJ 1133 deep indigo work pant
PBJ XX-014 purple
PBJ XX-017 cobalt
PBJ AI-003 Aizome ( slubby beyond belief)
IH 666-19L LHT
IH Raw Busters
ONI 546 Nat Indigo Kabuki VedgeThe appearance of each is so different from the others, "a wardrobe of jeans that basically look the same" is not an issue. The Lefty's have been with me the longest, and have by far the most evo. I was never in any hurry to get them there, though. If it takes 10 years to get all of them nicely faded, so be it. I'm just going to enjoy the ride…
Edit: I should add, I also have 4 pairs ( IH 817, 666 UHR, 2 Gustin), that I wear strictly to work, as well. My job has a tendency to destroy denim, in any price range. As the others age, they will replace these.

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.
-
I have a strange rotation policy, and it’s always the same. Basically, I always have to have three pairs of jeans…

Gets worn 99% Of the time.

My previous favourite (whatever that may be) gets worn maybe 1 day a month when I need a change, or wash day etc...

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

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.

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
