Ripped Jeans

[SHRED]

I have never cared for this look.

Is there a reason for this?

1. Consumers can be brainwashed into buying anything.

And overpaying for it.

2. I don't get it either.

Never have. However I did go through a phase where I wore old wool sweaters with moth holes in them.

3. No it's just fashion

Which doesn’t always make sense

It’s. Not my thing but I don’t mind it. Just like bodies with all-over tattoos.

4. I had a pair of jeans like that once

after I spilled battery acid on them. I threw them away.

13. you could have made a ton of cash selling them!

lol.

My granddaughters are into those and I keep telling them I'll rip their regular jeans for half the price they are paying but they just roll their eyes at me. "NOT THE SAME THING PAWPAW!" Pshh. Whatever. waste your money then lol.

14. Wasn't the fashion back in the 70s!

5. I remember back in the 60's-70's my jeans would wear out sooner in certain spots, but I never

considered it a fashion statement. If I knew someone that would sew a patch over the holes, that was nice. That was pretty common. I'm not sure when the open holes became a thing. It always seemed to me like a new country music thing.
Patches over holes in jeans was way before just leaving the holes….not sure why. in some cases the patches were political or signifying places they had been.

6. I wore them in the late 1980's

It was part of a post-punk thing, and came with Union Jack T-Shirts, safety-pins as decorations, and mohawks.

I don't know what they're supposed to mean nowadays, though.

7. Not a problem if the holes are the result of honest, hard work. Hideous otherwise.

Same thing with that phony fading thing.

If they are your honest working duds, wear the badge as you wish.

10. Exactly. I feel the same about the baseball hats twisted to the side.

Don't even get me started in the flat bill thing.

8. Any holes in my jeans are hard earned.

No, I don't buy them that way.

9. They serve a purpose

wiping the dipstick when you're changing the oil in your motor vehicle.

11. Mine only get like that from falling off

horses, snow machines and out of boats.

12. It's just stupid is what it is.
