So I've bought over the past 5 years, 14 pairs (different brands) but regularly wear only 7 (through out the year). Not including some more interesting pairs like the HBones, Wabash.
How about you? What's the buy to wear ratio?

If we're just talking about jeans, since getting into selvedge I've bought 3 pairs. I had been only wearing 2 of them until I had the 3rd chopped into shorts. Now I'm 3 for 3.
Edit: Or 2 for 2. Either way, not a bad ratio.

What's the buy to wear ratio? I thought we had a gentleman's agreement not to talk about things like this. You have the first grey herringbone Gustin offered (with the white squiggly weft), don't you? How have those worn in?

My original plan was to beat on them as Summer work jeans but my wife liked them so they became my weekend evening wear. And being only 11oz (I think) they would have gotten torn up easily. So not a lot of change in them other then being very comfortable and an easy breakin.

Since I discovered selvedge in around mid-2014, I presently own 14 pairs (various brands), have sold off 8 (so 22 over that time...), and really only wear 6 presently. I'm just focused on wearing fading these 6. I plan to rotate out a couple of those and add back in my heavier denim in the fall/winter desert months.

I can't recall the exact number. something like 18-20 pairs but I regularly wear 2 pairs now so I can fade them. I'm focused on my G American Standards and my N&F left hand twills. The fades are coming in nicely on both and i'm going to do a cold machine wash on the LHT's soon since they're filthy. Most of my jeans are hanging in the closet and I have a half a dozen pairs that are new and unworn sitting on the top shelf. I'll eventually thin the herd and sell off a few but I do plan on wearing the others at some point.

Too many to count... I had about 20 pairs of He's at one point.... Sold most of them. The ones that I still have are not part of the collection, so I don't even know how many of those I still have. They won't ever be worn.
Currently, I have 2 pairs of PBJ's (Soon to be in the "Never Wear" pile), a pair of Sugar Canes (Soon to be cut offs), and and 3 IH's. Of those 6, I wear 2 "regularly" (Semi-often), and those are the 666XHS and 634GR. But, typically I'm wear my non-denim IH pants 6-7 days a week.

I have 11 left now and wear 4 regularly all year around, 2 more are only worn in winter (IH) and 3 more are only worn in the hottest summer. So there is 2 i could toss.
All others I gave away or shredded.
I wear pbj, okas, loomstate and american antiques. Pbj and amantiques are the only ones who needs more fading too look good.
Im actually in deep need of a New crisp pair to have as a crisp pair. Im thinking IH if there is a cut similar or more trim the gustin slims without huge hem. Or Tfh. Or a blue pbj with contrast thread.

I can wear jeans to work every day if I want so I'll lead with that.
At the moment I have 3 JC**W's, 5 G's with 1 G and 1 CF on the way. Out of those, 2 pairs are light, 2 pairs are heavy, and 2 pairs are the tonal G's (one blue, one black) that look a little more formal.
My future expansion plans are based mostly on my desire to own more G Herringbone's and get a couple pairs of CF's with the cinch back.
So far I'm wearing them all.

I too can wear jeans at work daily. I have about 12 pairs of jeans: 2 from TS (conemills/chambray), Indigogene, Gustin, J Crew, 4 pairs of Levis, 2 pairs of moto specific jeans and 2 pairs of garage/yard work jeans.
I think my TS conemills has been my pair of jeans that I use the most daily. I only wear my moto jeans when I ride. The J crew pair I have not worn as it is unsanforized and I bought a size too small when I got into the game. (should sell it) The Levis are either thrashed or kinda small since they are over 5 years old and barely worn (should donate it) Gustin jeans have been worn 3x times, usually wear them for nice dates Indigogene are for cold days. TS Chambrayish jeans are a 0.5" small in the waist so I wear it when I feel skinny. (could sell it as well)

I've probably bought over 30 pairs in the last couple years, more if I include my Amazon.com denim purchases like Levis. I've sold and was able to return a good 20+ pairs, and currently have 9 that I wear, 4 more I need to sell, and about 8 I need to donate.

I've purchased 11 pairs (14 if counting non-rcvd LD&CO). 5 of those were sold, 2 pairs 'retired', 1 pair ruined and relegated to junk wear status.
That leaves me with my current 3 pairs that get very regular wear: G zim 15s, Oni 506zr (secrets), and 3sixteen st-120xk (kibatas).
I'll probably add a lightweight pair to the mix this summer.

exophobe The Indigo Hbones are one of my "exceptions" to adding to my denim collection. Missed out on these before, hoping they make a return. Hell, I'd even opt for a workshirt in this fabric.

Herry Indigo jeans, I don't think they've run them again. I know Ciano got the moss, but for some reason I thought he got a roll of the indigo as well. A workshirt would be sweet, hopefully there's a glut of herringbone again late summer this year.

Yep the indigo herringbones www.weargustin.com/store/2125 have been run at least twice, because I got the moss on drop 1 & indigo on drop 2. And yes either would make a great workshirt. G need to get past the indigo denim workshirt fascination they have.

Nobody has it right now.

13 pair for me (9 indigo, 3 brown, 1 olive). I'm still trying to break all of these suckers in, so don't have any 'go to' pairs yet. But the ones that have risen to the top are probably the Roy's, Railcar, Samurai, and G Loomstates.

I have 9 pairs. I've been wearing the CF23s for about 4 months but they will be stored soon. I'll switch between loomstates and zims during summer.

I have roughly 20 pairs but most of them haven't even been worn once. I realized I'm more of a one or two pairs kind of guy. I've been wearing my Paulrose Products (N&F) 14.5oz low tension black slub pretty much every day for the last 8 months with 18oz G Zims occasionally during winter.

I've purchased 7 pairs since late 2014 and I wear 5 of them.
My dailys are the Oni 517.
I wear my G IxI when I need a more formal look (although they're fading now). I have a pair of 9 ox CF that will get more wear this summer and my CF secrets I'm still breaking in.
Sold my Japan 17s and I have some G Japan Standards in the closet that are too small (for sale!)
Just bought these N&F left hand twill and once I break them in I think they'll be reserved for nicer occasions.

I Recently switched over from straight fit (501/504/Polo RL) to 511 slims. I made sure to get only selvedge and no stretch at all. So I got 4 pairs. 2 raw selvedge and 2 non raw selvedge. So far I've used 1 non raw and 1 raw.
