Distressed , faded and worn out with holes !
Why is it when shopping for jeans we choose to buy the distressed faded jeans with holes ? As a teenager we would wear out our Levi's until the knee's started to show signs of wear and suddenly the hole was created . They became soft and fit the body like a glove . I remember my first pair of fresh jeans from the store a little stiff and a bit dark . That awkard moment on the first day of school with these dark stiff jeans . Everyone knew they were new because they to went through the pain of wearing stiff jeans and couldn't wait to get home to take them off . And off they went into a bucket of bleach and in the drier . I would wash them in hot water then into the drier they went I couldn't wait to get them out of the drier while they were still hot to put them on and start walking on my knees to soften them up . My mother thought this trouble was a waist of time and silly why do you want your jeans to look old ? She did not find this style of jean so appealing infact she thought the methods used were bit silly but went along any way . In fact if we wore holes in our jeans she would rip the hole right off our tushies or if she found a pair in the laundry you can be sure they were donated to the local Thrift Store . And we would start all over again with a fresh pair of Levi's 501's at the then famous Miller's Out Post . It took year's to get my mom to understand fashion of the 80's . My mother's generation holes and distressed jeans were a sign of being poor . Sign's of the times change and boy have they changed .
Teen's today don't go through the same trouble of fading out their jeans by leaving them in a pool over night , or soaking them in bleach which makes the holes come in softer an nicer . You can find the already made holes in your favorite designer jean .
Today our mother's no longer judge our distressed jeans as a sign of being poor . We join our teen's in wearing designer made holes and today we spend $ for our distressed jeans . It's a part of fashion that will always be around with holes , distressed , cut off with fringe . Jeans are forever .
Love my jean's dirty and on the rock's oop's that's a martini ...
