      I have loads, but I only ever keep one pair in rotation (if it's possible to rotate 1)…..

        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…

          1. Gets worn 99% Of the time.

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

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

          4. 888-NT

          5. 21oz unsanforised Pronto collab.

          6. 777-14OD

            @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.

                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

                          Enjoying everyone’s responses. In response to Gile’s question-Can you have 1 pair in rotation? Like juggling with 1 ball.

                            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.)

                                Works on my machine.

                                  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 ->

                                    1.) 634B&SRAW
                                    2.) IH-634S-18
                                    3.) IH-634S-14

                                        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.
