They sure ain't makin' jeans like they used to

[Oeditpus Rex]

I've had these about a year, and I've had to patch both knees and the butt, just below the right-back pocket. Now there's wear-through just below the other back pocket, and the button hole's tearing. Oh, and the cuffs started to fray some time ago.

FWIW, they're Lee™ and I wash 'em with Arm and Hammer powder.

1. Are they indigo?

Or the lighter color?

My dark jeans last forever...but when I buy light colored denim, they tend to wear out easier.

5. They were indigo when I got 'em

Took several washings to get 'em to fade enough that they didn't look dorky.

2. My Costco (Kirkland) jeans last forever

I've had this pair for rabout 4 years now.

7. My husband wears Kirkland jeans to work everyday. . .

and they look great forever. What are they? Like $13 a pair?

3. It's because you're too manly

They just don't make a fabric capable of withstanding your manliness.

6. Yeah, that must be it

And even if it's not, it sounds a lot better than "I'm a goob who doesn't know how to shop for proper clothing."

Thanks. :7

Now, commence post-whoring. ONE THOUSAND is in sight! :woohoo:

4. I like to stick with the Levi 501s.

They fit well, and hold up for years.

If you don't mind a button fly, try em out.

8. "Lee" is the problem. They are junk
