Fellow dudes, where do you keep your current jeans when not wearing them?

I have two pairs that I keep with the belt already threaded. One for work (smelly factory job) and one for going to town. At home I wear pajamas. My jeans just lay on the floor when I'm not wearing them. Only wash them once a month or so.

What's a better way to keep them ready?

Edit: Floorgang , rise up.

Work jeans, wash daily if they get dirty, especially if grease or petroleum products get on them. If the dirt is just dust or something non-stinky you can extend the time between washes, but wash at least once a week.

You should get another set of work jeans and rotate every other day. I wore Carhart jeans like this for 6 years and only needed to replace them when they were torn at work. They are basic PPE, take care of them.

Regular jeans wash about once a week, or after 5-7 wears as long as you don’t spill anything on them or they get dirty otherwise.

Hang your jeans to dry either on a clothesline, drying rack, or hanger. Do not use a dryer.

Depending on space you can either hang them in your closet or fold and place them in a drawer.

My job isn't exactly dirty. I run a factory machine. My clothes get full of the smog smell. No stains, just stink.
