Holey jeans ?

[IKE]

What's the deal with the current holey jeans fad ?.......back in my day you'd have been considered dirt poor wearing holey jeans out in public.

I guess I should have kept mine through the years instead of using them to play tug of war with my dogs and wiping up oil spills in the garage......there's no telling how much money that they'd have been worth today.

I grew up with the same beliefs, no holes in your jeans, no underwear showing, etc...

When we went downtown to the big departments stores or the movies we had to dress in nice clothes, no jeans, shorts, etc...

But that was then and this is now. If that is the biggest fault we can find with a kid I would say that they are doing pretty well for themselves.

I remember my mom getting those iron on patches to repair my Levi’s. She would have had a fit if I ever wore jeans like this. :sentimental:

Holy jeans are a fad that will either go out of style like so many others, or it won't.

I'm far more concerned about the damage the girl in Ike's photograph is doing to her feet with those shoes. She's too young to have bunions caused by bad shoes.

The thing that cracks me up is that the stores sell these "rags"....and at a Premium price. I've seen them displayed in a shopping center store for well over $200 a pair. I guess there is no shortage of people who have more money than good sense.

It’s just a passing trend and at least an improvement on this !

 

[Capt Lightning]

Shouldn't that be Holey, not Holy? Still, my mother described such garments as being 'More holey than Godly'.

A fad from many years ago. If you think it's cute, then you're WAY behind the times. Wake up !

We call those "ragpicker jeans". I would not want the garbage man to see them in my trash can.

I think someone pushed him out of the men's room door before he was "put together" - - -or maybe not?

Yes, you dressed for town. My mother even wore gloves, and OMG you'd faint if your slip was showing! People stared.

Now, Even Meghan Markle wears ripped jeans... I really don't care, but it's funny how much they can cost.

Some must end up,with a patchy sun tan on their legs from the rag bag jeans .....next time my hubby wants his Levi’s mended I’m not going to ..it’s fashionable to wear them even when they are ready for the rag bag

I think the raggedy jeans thing looks terrible. It's a fad I don't understand at all.

Holey jeans have been around for I think about 20 years now, I never liked them and don't/won't wear them. I have enough trouble not looking like a vagabond!
