The president of Levi's never said "don't wash your jeans." What he said was that you don't need to wash your jeans as much as you think you do. It was a talk about saving the environment, not about saving your jeans. here

On the other hand:

    The Myth: Freeze Your Jeans Instead of Washing Them - the rumor is that you can get your jeans clean by simply putting them in the freezer as opposed to the washing machine. It's a tempting proposition, since it would be nice to maintain that dark wash, but does it actually work?

    • The Post: How To Clean Your Jeans Without Water (In the Freezer!)

    • The Reality: According to this recent ABC report, bacteria levels on a pair of jeans that were worn (330 times by college student Josh Le) for 15 months using the freezer method were similar to the levels found on the same jeans when tested again only 13 days after washing. So, in terms of whether it works, as the Magic 8 ball says, signs point to yes! And while its not a terribly conclusive scientific study, I wouldn't have bet on this one as having any kind of backup, so it just goes to show, you never know...

from here

I can't answer the first question because I'm not that attached to anything. Maybe when I clean out my vinyl (record albums), I'll empty out my closets too.
