not washing jeans is a new concept to me. maybe i'll try it? seems like you can develop a hell of a rash if you aren't washing your clothing, or develop a good environment for some ill necrotizing fasciitis.
wish i could join in the movement but...

"Sure, overnight freezing might kill most of the bacteria. But if some remain, they'd likely be able to recolonize the denim quickly after it warmed back up. That's because the dirt and dead skin cells present in the jeans — which serve as the bacteria's substrate — are left entirely intact by freezing."
I believe you can throw your jeans in the dryer (or put it out in the sun) and it would kill 99% bacteria. but ...that's just my thoughts as a clean freak.
