It's probably a personal preference type of thing. I don't like the feeling of having ten pairs of pants. I have this romantic notion that twenty years from now, I'm still be wearing the same $200 pair of pants (aged to perfection like a Barbour jacket), as opposed to a rotation of ten disposable pairs of pants.

I also happen to have two T shirts, one of which I wear for weeks in a row. It's merino wool. In the summer I switch to the other one for exercise, and that just gets handwashed when I'm done.

I realized that I'm gushing so hard about these pants, but I've been in search of the perfect pair of pants for the past five years and these are almost perfect.

Is that OCD? Wanting that one perfect thing that you can keep forever? Not sure, but I can't have it any other way.
