      I have a hard time believing that spending a few hours on the floor of my closet instead of hanging (only from the waist never from the hems… oh the horror!) is going to have any significant effect on the lifespan of my jeans.

      I also can't take anything seriously when it comes from a website that advocates, under any circumstances, baking your jeans, rather than simply washing them.  Even when it costs $400+, it's still just denim, not the Shroud of Turin.

                I have a mantra which I occasionally chant when people get overly serious about this shit…

                "It's just a pair of fucking jeans".....

                Honestly, we love this stuff, but there are things that deserve a little more bandwidth....

                  Yea…

                  toss them in the floor for overnight, in rotation just hang them from a beltloop, after wash fold in the closet.

                  Wash them regularly in washing machine (ain't that right Doug)

                  And forget about  all hype shit.

                  They're just jeans.

                    That reminds me-
                    Recently my jeans suffered an unfortunate accident that involved a diaper failure (let's just leave it at that).  After they dried, they weren't really very discolored and they don't smell too much.  So my dilemma is this- it's only been 18 months since I washed them last and I was really hoping to go 2 years.  Should I just spot clean them, or do you think it's ok to wait 6 months before I wash them?

                    This is Doug right now:

                                ^Best solution is to spot clean that with a piece of cloth soaked in urine …

                                    Some just throw em on the floor, after all they are still jeans

                                    Not when you spend $400+ on them.  They're so much more than that now.  An investment if you will.

                                    Haha, I hear you but yep, still jeans

                                    I have 10 pairs of IH and maybe some other 20 pairs. They are lying, hanging around throughout my whole flat and some are folded in the cupboard hahahaha. I do not care, have no kids, my ex-wife is gone whatever LOL

                                        This whole subject about hooks and hangers has gotten a bit out of control.  I was merely curious to what people on here do.  That article on Rawr Denim is by far overkill!  Some of you are so anal about every detail with your IH gear I'm shocked  you are willing to just throw them on the floor.  I personally don't keep any of my clean clothes on the floor, never mind my IH's.

                                          I don't know but I just throw my jeans on my chair or the floor. Doesn't really bother me. I'm only more concern about the wash and fit. 😃 as for folding the jeans, I don't really do that cos I somehow have this feeling it'll "flatten" the creases behind knee area.

                                          Was damn excited and etc initially but after being in this forum awhile and advices from injunjack, I've learn to just adopt G's quote; "its only a pair of feckkin' jeans". 😉

                                          make peace, not war. <3

                                            Its just like getting a new car or better yet a white pair of sneakers..I tend to tip toe around for the 1st few weeks watching every step and after awhile i'll start putting boots on top of them in my shoe closet.  The fear fades and then all is back to normal.
