I usually try to get as long with the raw look as I possibly can, before a wash, but sometimes mix it up and might wash a bit sooner to see how they come out. So I've various pairs in various states of fade.

Sounds sensible, I usually try & get to 6 months without washing, rinsing or getting a new pair of selvedge jeans soaking wet in the rain. I do put them in the freezer & gently spot clean especially if its dog vomit, human feces or cheese stains. By the first wash of the new pair other worn pairs have been washed multiple times so I also have a sort of sequential indigo fade thing going on. 👍

Surprised people rinse jeans before wearing them!? Totally against the "No wash club" rules. I personally try and wear new selvedge denim for as long as possible before washing + follow the guides below.
