I'm a tatterdemalion by choice when it comes to cotton t-shirts. They're at their most comfy and soft when the first few holes start to form.

My husband walked into the house as a tatterdemaliion to show me where the power saw got out of control.
Not only were his pants tattered & torn ,,his knee suffered too.

Daughter in law informed our friend that her daughter's tattedemalion jeans were very expensive even when on sale..
I'm always telling the grandaughters that I'll patch their jeans for them.

I took a duffle bag full of old Levi's to a so-called "Hip" vintage clothing store and they only bought two pairs that weren't ragged. Fools!I saw a pair of tatterdemalion jeans for $198.00 !!!

I remember when acid-washed jeans came into style. I loved them and felt it was an 'equalizer' so that those with or without money could dress the same. Maybe that is kind of true with today's torn jeans..

My underwear drawer is full of tatterdemalion shorts.
So long as the ragged in in the back, you should be good to go, Paps!

Lol, but mostly the band has separated from the briefs. Kinda saggy on the sides.So long as the ragged in in the back, you should be good to go, Paps!
Between my husband and 4 boys, I know the ones!
In our house such underpants go missing mysteriously when I'm doing laundry and come across them.
