I have to agree with this--a few years ago I started getting into the habit of putting more of my clothes on a rack (esp. anything cotton) and less through the dryer, and no question clothes last longer that way.
"That fuzz in the dryer lint trap is your clothes disintegrating slowly."
Right. Always impatient, I have worn out far too many clothes in the dryer instead of waiting for air drying (dryers are a conspiracy by manufacturers to sell more clothes). ;-)
You made an incorrect assumption! I wash them after about 2 weeks of wear, or when they get pretty visibly dirty. (The drool from my mastiff doesn't count, or they'd be washed every 15 minutes.)
I will say, "a year or two" is an exaggeration for some of my jeans. But I usually only have 2-4 pair with no holes that I rotate between, and most develop wear in the knees if not outright holes by the end of 2 years.
