I am sensitive to textures and I can tell jeans are a special thing. I prefer not to wear jeans on my skin (waist area), only with a T-shirt to keep things seperate. I wear soft white cotton T-shirts under other clothes almost all the time (I can feel the seams around my neck at bad days though) but summer weather calls for special measures.

When the weather gets warmer not allowing a T-shirt under another shirt I simply do not wear jeans (changing to khaki). But German weather stays quite calm usually, so I can stay with jeans quite well. I think in warmer climate I may have to quit wearing jeans. I do have short jeans, but there are issues at the waist area too, so if it gets too hot for the T-shirt then jeans are no choice.

I once did wear a long jeans when I went from Germany to make holidays in Turkey. It was warm and humid weather when I left the airplane and I had to keep the jeans on for the bus trip to the hotel. That was really awful, not only could I feel the jeans itching just everywhere, as soon as my body temperature rises a tiny bit the sensations caused by seams and tags everywere else got much stronger too which is nasty even without the jeans. That event at the first day felt like it almost ruined an entire holiday week.

I take care to stay literally cool :wink: which is not hard because I can tolerate lower temperatures very well. There are not many type of clothes I would consider wearing in hot and humid weather. Jeans surely do not belong here.

I once tried wearing a necklace but that is simply impossible, it permanently scratches on my skin all the time. And no: Neither the jeans nor the necklace would give me a rash at all and both do not feel scratchy when touched with hands or fingertips. The same goes for seams or tags. It simply does not make sense. I am not sure tags are the real problem but they usually are the only thing that would make sense for the itching sensation. I think it could just be the texture of the fabric or the fact that the touching sensation of the tag is different from that of the fabric around.

I do not really remember events of removing clothes as a child but I had fights with my mother a thousand times about their idea of clothes being much to warm. I removed clothes when out of sight of her but never went naked.

i can wear jeans one thing i cant wear is a tie. This was a problem because in Australia (Victoria) most public schools have uniforms and many including mine have a tie as part of the uniform. To me it feels like it is choking me I am glad I dont have to wear it anymore.

I'm sensitive to textures, so I only wear jeans if they are loose, and soft fabric.

Even when I wore a size five in my early college years, I couldn't wait to get home and take off my jeans. I prefer wearing dresses or comfortable shirt and pants combinations to jeans or sweats. I feel fat if I wear clothes that are too tight.

I always wear jeans. At the moment only skinny black jeans too. I only have one pair of proper trousers and I only wear them on like, special occasions. I hate them. And I have combat trousers to wear around the house. (irony)

I can't wear jeans; I hate the texture. I prefer smooth fabrics, like sweatpants.

From about 10 onward, not only did I wear jeans, but they were purposely tight in the waist... basically, they were a combination pants/girdle, lol. Over time, the compression carved my midsection into a more appropriate shape than the one nature saw fit to give. If I hadn't done that, I'd have had no waist at all and would have indeed gone through life looking perpetually pregnant. Looking like that isn't even an option, in my book.

Now, I'm not entirely certain I want to see what fun and games that wreaked on some of my internal organs. (I'd imagine that a surgeon would practically need an ice cream scoop to extract my gallbladder, for example.) However, if I had it to do over, I would again do the same thing.

I can wear jeans, but they're too expensive.

They're about all I ever wear. I don't like them tight, though.

I can only wear jeans if they're a thinner, softer denim and if the seams don't feel too thick (you know what I mean?). I have a non-Aspie-related problem with jeans too: they make jeans so low-cut now, they don't even cover my big Puerto Rican butt! lol Seriously, anyone who can wear those jeans must have an abnormally small bum.

I can wear jeans just fine. I always found them comfortable, especially when they are almost dirty. I can't stand jogging pants as they are too loose and too fuzzy. I just got a few pairs of slacks and I detest them. They're scratchy and let in too much cold.

After reading this post, I kind of got attracted to all the chicks on here, in their various pants.

Yes I can wear jeans, and feel more comfortable in them than anything else.
