Do you also have a hard time accepting that jeans can actually be worn to a degree where they have to be discarded?

I know I can. I mean, the fact that jeans can be used up! My old Levi's that I bought i Barcelona i 2000 are just not hanging in there anymore, and I think that I have to throw them out! This makes me sad.

Nah, jeans are indestructable. Wear them for bumming round the house and doing DIY.

Jeans to be worn forever. Just think of Joey Ramone when wearing.

just cut the legs off and you've got sexy shorts. unless you've somehow worn a hole through them... somewhere else.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 12:49 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm with Johnney - save them for decorating and gardening or slobbing in front of the telly after work.

Well, if it's a SEXY HOLE then wear them over black tights.

(I guess this only works if you are a girl.)

That's the problem - there's a hole in the groin and by the right pocket, where I always have my keys. And stitching them up is just so 1980ies, dontchathink?

I'm not, even though I'd like to try it for a day.

LET THE SCROTUM DANGLE!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 12:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Actually, if you are a HOTT boy, you can disregard the tights bit and provide endless amusement for pervy girls trying to see up yer hole. Not, like, I've ever actually done this or anything...

LET THE SCROTUM DANGLE!

The thought of a scrotum actually dangling almost made my lunch revisit the free world.

― Jay Kid (Jay K), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 12:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Irreparable holes in the crotch are pretty much a death warrant.

I had a pair of Levis in college that I wore until the tops of the thighs got so worn that there was nothing but white threads from mid-pocket down to the knees. I loved them, but they weren't really comfortable anymore, not to mention the fact that they weren't that cute at that point.

― Lee G (Lee G), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 13:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, holes in the crotch. Planned obsolescence, you see. They *know* it happesn. They could reinforce, but oh no!

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 13:05 (twenty-one years ago)

I have an exceptionally hard time discarding clothes (my wife usually needs to intervene). I'm far too sentimental to let certain items go, even when they're well-past the point of looking even remotely presentable, let alone flattering.

I have two white patches on the knees on my jeans from demonstrating the maneuver at the last Club FT that caused me to go out and get a new pair of pants the next day.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 13:08 (twenty-one years ago)

My jeans always blow out near the fucking belt loops, the corners of the back pockets or my fucking kneecaps.

Put on a pair drunk and get a toe in the wrong place and you've got a pair of cut off shorts!

― Lil' Fancy Pants (ex machina), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 13:10 (twenty-one years ago)

I also become gripped with the entirely unreasonable assumption that I will never find a pair of jeans (or shoes or shirt of whatever the garment in question is) that will fit me as comfortably as the to-be-discarded one does.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 13:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Umm, why does the scrotum wear through? What do you do repeatedly that could cause that?

― mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 13:12 (twenty-one years ago)

the crotches of Levi's jeans originally featured the same reinforcing rivets found on the corners of jean pockets, much to the chagrin of startled miners, who had a habit of crouching around hot campfires, and another habit of wearing no underwear! they were removed.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 13:13 (twenty-one years ago)

My jeans wear through because the tops of my thighs are too fat and rub together :(

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 13:13 (twenty-one years ago)

traer, it was actually a crotch rivet, located at the bottom of the fly.

Once a pair of jeans becomes unwearable, keep them around to patch jeans that are repairable.

Yeah, that is a classic, isn't it? But the scrotum - you know, that particulat piece of garment right there is just being exposed to all kinds of stress. It stretches in interchanging directions when you walk, it is fondled when you scratch your nuts ... it's just a very exposed place!

― Jay Kid (Jay K), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 13:17 (twenty-one years ago)

"Keep them around" - I would LOVE to be able to have space to keep things around like this. This needs to go on a hoarding thread, really - I don't think I am a hoarder but there's still no room in my not-tiny flat :(

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 13:19 (twenty-one years ago)

mmmmm...sexy holes

― Donna Brown (Donna Brown), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 14:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Mine always go through in the crotch, after about nine months to a year of wear. I usually only have three or four pairs in rotation at any given time though.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 14:10 (twenty-one years ago)

I've had a few pairs with zip fatigue. It just starts sliding downwards of its own accord. Rather worryingly, my favourite pair of work trousers has acquired this habit too.

my current favorite pair has that! and even tho i try to explain, my girlfriend is getting more and more convinced that i am just a slob. which might be right, but for other reasons.
