When we’re in the realm of quite expensive denim, definitely. But my point wasn’t necessarily that you should keep a pair for 10 years, but that trying to make your pair look like it within 12 months is corny, especially if you’re inventing ways not to wash them (freeze them! Vinegar! hang them inside out in the sun! Etc).
It’s kind of more of a hobby advice than practical advice for dry denim. Just treat them normally. Wash them when they need washing. They’ll last as long as you want. Don’t worry about the “rules” or all the weird little myths about dry denim. They’re just jeans.
