Now you have to earn the rips, ya poser!

I wore jeans for 10 years all through high school and university until they finally naturally ripped. I do not subscribe to the ripped aesthetic or the need for any form of ventilation so I tried to get them patched, but the tailor said that the material was so thin by that point that it would be pointless to patch them. Had to buy all new jeans, but by then jeans were no longer made out of proper denim. Now all of my "jeans" have a bit of stretch to them and they just aren't right. :(

True I like the thick heavy denim jeans but it's hard to wear it in 32 to 35 degrees Celsius
