Thought of the day: Why is it acceptable to wear the same pair of jeans for days, even weeks, without being questioned by friends? Yet wearing the same pair of cargos three days in a row would be scowled upon and considered un-hygienic. Do we actually believe jeans are immune to dirt?
Still on the topic of jeans remember when all we had to choose from was either a pair of Levis, Lee or Wranglers? And all you had in your wardrobe was a choice of black stone wash and blue stone wash?
I remember this quite vividly. There was no such thing as engineered denim in the early 90s when I was a teenager. Yet in the pursuit of being cool, I had to conjure up my own version of engineering. I got my worn in look by way of scraping my ass up and down the cement footpath out the front of my house (I lived on a main road by the way). Later my mother told me that it would have been a hell of a lot easier to take off the said pair of jeans and rub them against a rough stone. Thanks for the advice mum, but too late. If only my nickname ass scraper wore out as fast as my jeans did
Then something revolutionary happened in the mid nineties (that saved my ass, so to speak)....
