So whats wrong with holes?

February 5th, 2007 at 02:41 pm

Reading a blog post regarding frugalness (found thru digg) I noticed I apparently have been dressing wrong (or right depending on how you look at it)

Mend clothes and reuse, or wear layers.
At home, I wear longjohns/ thermal underwear with ripped jeans. Why not? The pants are still wearable and no one is going to see me except family and the dogs and cats. The #1 rule of frugality: use what you have for as long as possible.

You mean your not supposed to have holes in your jeans? since not a single pair is holeless I certainly hope holes are fashionable..or in any event that any one who cares has better things to do than complain about my jeans.

For more formal affairs I do have 'slacks' with no holes. Smile

    the thing is that if you don't mend the holes, they get bigger, which makes the article last less...

    Well depending on the article, jeans mainly rip seam to seam...not mcuh worse. though I have patched a few...I discovered how you patch makes a huge difference! One pair was patched by someone else, it has a new hole, right along the sewn line of the patch!

    Are you kidding? Young people pay big bucks for "fashion" jeans that have holes in them when purchased for a high price. You are being fashionable!!!

    heh. I own a few pairs of those "fashionable ripped jeans" I could never rip them as well as they do it for you. That may sound silly, but I couldn't get that frayed fabric thing goin...

    You have to use a razor blade to get the frayed thing going. Helps to have a thread picker, also.
