This morning when I put on a pair of denim shorts I noticed that they were getting pretty rough looking. The top layer of the hem is starting to fray, and there are fray holes (approximately a quarter-inch wide) by the rear pockets and halfway down the outer right seam.
I've had these shorts for years; they're one of my favorite pairs. The natural waist hits at just the right spot. The length is perfect-not too short and not too long. The five pockets (two front, two rear, and a small one inside the right front hip pocket) are well-proportioned and functional.

I've never embraced or understood the ripped torn style.
ReplyDeleteMe neither.
DeleteYou now pay more for ripped jeans in the shops.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Isn't that crazy? I'll never understand it.
DeleteHah! Droll post!
ReplyDeleteHaha no kidding!
ReplyDeleteI don't get it either. Why would anyone pay money to buy clothes that look ready to throw away? Amazing.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter pays big bucks for those torn up clothes!! I must be too old to understand the value.
ReplyDeleteI guess some people want 'instant' everything...including worn out looking clothes.
Deletethat's a hoot... I've gotten to the point where I have my favorite comfortable stuff for at home and "better" respectable things for out and about...
ReplyDeleteIn the winter I have 'house' and 'out' jeans, but when it's hot outside and I'm changing my clothes every day I don't bother.
DeleteI read a story where a grandmother saw a pair of her granddaughters torn jeans and "repaired" them for her. HA!
ReplyDeleteToo funny!
DeleteTerry has jeans that are very worn. He finally threw a pair away recently. I told him he could have sold them for a hundred dollars! As the jeans fray and fade he uses them for yard work. I have two old pair that are quite ragged but I wear them around the house and yard.
ReplyDeleteTerry lost the opportunity to make some extra money!
DeleteI don't understand frayed clothing, and must constantly refrain from commenting on it to my granddaughters.
ReplyDeleteSometimes it's better to say nothing.
DeleteAt my age, I wouldn't wear thorn clothes even inside the house.It's only the young people that allow themselves to get 'crazy'.
ReplyDeleteNever liked the style myself but I do have a pair of old jeans that are ripped like that in a few places, I keep them for around the house when I'm cleaning or painting. Hey, maybe with paint on them they will be even more fashionable!
ReplyDeleteI'm a messy painter. I have a pair of very paint-stained pants and shorts that I only put on when I'm getting ready to paint.
