How long have you gone in the same clothes?

I've done a couple of very long cycle tours in the US, Australia and SEA, and I think the longest I went without a change of stuff was 2 weeks. I'm sure it was my round Aussie trip and hands up there were moments when I could jump in the sea from time to time, though the same clothes came on after. I am very sure I was the stinkiest thing on the planet but I don't remember caring or anyone complaining.

I think 10 days without removing them, so 240 hours or so ... hooray for bamboo tops

On my first visit to the Karakorum in the mid 1980s we (the members of the team) had a competition to see who could wear their underwear for the longest time. I was last loser at 2 months

The stitching failed and they fell off

I've never gone in my clothes. Well, not since I was in nappies.

21 days, my BB top never quite recovered

Don't worry, Dee's working on new ones.

6 days on the 1600km Bristol-Glasgow-Bristol Audax. It was pretty grim and I wouldn't fancy going much further without at least rinsing them.

TDR, one pair of shorts, one jersey.

Still wear the jersey, shorts...not so much.

That’s gopping

Anything more than a week and you need two sets of shorts and jerseys. Wear one/ wash one. Are you really saying that an extra t-shirt and shorts is too much weight, bulk or luxury to carry?
Some of you need to get a grip on your personal admin

5 weeks.
There's kind of a plateau with the smell after about 1 week.
But there's no plateau with the grease (from skin).

Mih, I've been worse when I was a scraggly alpinist in my 20s :)

I've worn the same suit for the last 56 years. No real signs of wear yet albeit it's been sewn up in a few places.

I've been in the same suit the same length of time, a few stitches and a, wipe over and it just a little bit wrinklies or thinner in one or two places

3 cheers for my birthday suit

A couple of weeks on various long hikes

3 cheers for merino (although fellow train passengers might disagree)

The mind boggles - we stank enough after a day up/day down hike of Mount Fuji
