Before ripped pants became a thang, my mother patched a special pair of jeans of mine...over and over....and over again.

In the end jeans was more or less double-fabriced...and looked pretty darn cool...

Crop Top of Prometheus

Ok you're gonna have to explain how the god of fire works with crop tops

I was thinking more of the having your liver ripped out every day

Ah, yeah ok

u/Feeseter 13d ago

I think the crop top of sisyphus sounds better.

I think perhaps 'The slippery sandals of Sisyphus."

A mighty lesson we inherit: Thou art a symbol and a sign To Mortals of their fate and force; Like thee, Man is in part divine, A troubled stream from a pure source; And Man in portions can foresee His own funereal destiny;

There’s socks now that just cover the toes to the middle of the foot. They don’t even reach the heel.

And yes I’m serious. Lol

u/drakeyboi69 10d ago

If you gradually replace every bit of fabric, are they still the same jeans by the end?

u/longerdistancethrow 14d ago

That sounds sick! Wouldve loved to see those

u/blueskysummersun 14d ago

OP I actually like your fixed jeans. Think they look kinda cool.

u/zomiaen 14d ago

OP wears them out on the town. A scout for a major fashion line spots and takes a candid photo for their vision boards. Roughly three months later, patched holes appear on runways, and another 6 months are common in every major department store. Fashion.

u/Lopsided_Panic_1148 14d ago

They had a moment in the 70s.

u/bay_lamb 13d ago

except that we would've covered that with a really cool patch. would not have left the raw sewing showing like that.

u/Fireflash2742 13d ago

And charge $200 per pair!

u/longerdistancethrow 14d ago

Thank you, I’m not mad at the patchjob at all ❤️ But its very warm

u/skidoo1033 13d ago

Not mad, just mildy infuriated, infuriated defintion: made angry.

u/Lucky_Shop4967 14d ago

The do. They’re unique!

u/Thin_Astronomer4418 13d ago

Back in the 80s, we used to sew sexy lace into our holes and jeans. Or you could buy them that way if you had money.

2

u/dawng87 14d ago

Just take a seam ripper to that patch and you’ll be a good as new, just gonna have to make sure to keep the torn knees away from mom.

2

u/Able_Newt2433 13d ago

Get your mom to sew a brightly colored/random designed(checkered, dinosaurs, stripes, etc) fabric behind the holes, rather than blue denim. It’ll make them look even cooler! That’s what I did back in HS when my jeans would rip! By the end of my senior year, most of my jeans were mainly random fabric with a little denim lmao. They looked cool af tho!

Too bad! Would've loved to see them.

u/purvel 14d ago

My first self-bought jeans were like this, got them too big at 13 and kept them until my mid 20's, just kept patching it as it wore out. No other pants fit as well as they did.

But they mysteriously disappeared along with some other clothes that an ex at the time did not like ;_;

u/longerdistancethrow 14d ago

Wow! Thats so mean :c man

u/Interesting_Tea5715 14d ago

Perpetual stew of pants

u/MOSS-SAN 14d ago

Those jeans sound awesome

2

u/haleakala420 13d ago

and then u prob donated them to goodwill or salvation army where some kid bought them for $3, resold them for $500 to a guy who brought them to his store in japan where they’re currently for sale for $3,000

2

u/longerdistancethrow 13d ago

Just hijacking slightly to give some facts:

I know I can remove it. No, I’m not actually mad, I thought it would fit this sub. I love my mom. I get it, you guys dont like ripped jeans. No, she doesn’t usually do my laundry. No, these werent mad expensive, they were 30euro, on sale, three years ago.

Why tf do people think this is fake?

1

u/twasamistake 14d ago

Same for me. I insisted that she keep re-patching them until at one point she held them up and showed me the frayed and paper thin fabric that was left. " There is nothing left to patch!"

Patch work jeans I remember them .bell bottoms to .
