It's not that they wear out quickly but I like a lot because I wear clean each day and I only want to have to do laundry every 10 days or so. 10+ pairs of shorts is the limiting factor and I throw out a couple of worn out pairs each year.

Re: New clothes
Me too we don’t need so many clothes.We are ( sorry to bang on about this ) ruining the environment with all this demand for just about everything.
Micro fibres are destroying the ocean . Even cotton fibres from blue jeans have been found at the bottom of the sea .
This is hardly surprising since blue jeans are the most worn garment on the planet .
What is not often taken into account also is that the dye used to colour them blue is toxic and it’s culminate affect on the environment is doing goodness only knows what damage.
