Since we're all doing updates, here is mine after a little over a year. Changes are in bold.
FW 1942 to be added soon, thinking about selling all my WH jeans if anyone is interested. I just haven't been wearing them at all lately.
If you happen to see a pair up for sale that sparks your interest hit me up, haven't properly listed any of them yet (besides the Boncoura and At Last).

Haha less mate... I updated above with non denim trousers so proportionately it's now even less

[MJF9]

Folks, I realised we're not explicitly answering the exam question from the thread i.e. how many pairs of jeans do you have

So I edited my post above to include the actual number...

Finally took a good comprehensive inventory of jeans (+ a couple other pants)

Impressive lists everyone!

@julian-wolf why do I want to add a column notating duration of wear, as well as brand sub-totals, totals, etc.? 😂

[julian-wolf]

@aho Fair enough, hah

Truth is I made the spreadsheet mostly for myself to help keep track of everything I have stashed away, and just left everything in for simplicity when copying it over to here

[nopal]

Where are you selling those Sugar Cane M41030U @julian-wolf? I've been curious about them since I read through the 'SugarCane 1990's M-Series Archive' and they might be my size.

[julian-wolf]

@nopal I don’t think I’ve actively listed any of this stuff anywhere, at least not in a while. Really that’s just a note that if someone were to make a reasonable offer I’d be unlikely to decline…

Do people not ever own multiple of the same pair or does no one list it?

Just wondering as every post I see never has repeats. 

[julian-wolf]

^ My post just earlier on this page includes a slew of repeats 

It seems pretty common for folks to post repeats in their collections

My bad. I must of missed that. It's nice to try all that's new but there's comfort finding that perfect pair.

You won't imagine how often I found the "one pair"! 😅

Seriously, I have several jeans with a back up 

[AlientoyWorkmachine]

I have a few repeats but in variation - ie same model different fabric, same model different size for a different silhouette.

Reality is a little bit of change is enjoyable and 3-4ish years in a single pair is enough for life - at this point for me. Which tends to be about what I get with the rotations I keep. It’s not like the next pair will be really that different from the previous. Lots of subtle differences yes, but that’s fun. 

For me, buying two of the same thing has come to feel perilously close to hoarding that brings me little to no day to day use. That on top of the varied pairs stashed away that are probably enough for a decade plus - if I can keep in shape - which is why I’ve been selling off a few things. 
 

I may eventually buy a second pair of freewheeler 51s, but I’ve got a lot to get through before I ponder that seriously. 

[Talan]

This is a serious question with an obvious philosophical undertone. If we are deeply impressed by something (it could be anything, from a pair of jeans to a piece of music or a fascinating journey, and so on), we might want to repeat it, to relive the same experience. Or even to experience it endlessly. Of course, this is impossible. Everything changes endlessly, and these changes, both objective and subjective, are beyond our control. As for me, I have never bought duplicate pairs—not because there weren’t jeans I particularly liked, but rather because I tend to seek variety and try new things in the quest for the denim grail... 🙃

[swiss-jeansfreak]

From some of my personal worn out jeans I have a deadstock duplicate to explain the visitors the change from new to heavy used in the Jeansmuseum later, when I really have to retire them

I like this^

Forever chasing the first hit for me.. the feeling i had when i thought.. this is it.. this is what i've been looking for, that emotion is forever stuck in your brain, it can grow to become something more than it ever was.

I'v always been mildly hooked on SC-47s because of this^ reason, are they the 'best' jeans i've ever owned, no of course not.. but after a 20+ year quest for the denim grail wearing numerous pairs to rags without ever buying a second pair.. i've come to understand that somthing which can trigger an emotional response is more important than a perfect replication of a 1946 detail.

When i look back at my overwhelming feelings of want for past denim acquisitions, hoping they would replicate the feeling only for them to be forgotten and replaced by more current acquisitions.. maybe this one will? .. i'm glad i stepped off that train.
