had for more years than I can remember, finally decided to call it quits. The jeans developed a rip that started just below the center belt loop to just above right rear pocket. I thought about trying to stitch it back together, but realized the fabric was too fragile to hold the stitches. Not sure what year I bought the jeans but I’m certain I wore them to VT football games in the early to mid nineties. I remember the 1994 Gator Bowl that was played in Gainesville Fl when someone asked me if I was wearing a hillbilly tuxedo (denim jacket over my Levi’s jeans). Anyway, I lovingly folded them and gently placed into the trash bin and wheeled it to the curb to be picked up today. MAY THEY REST IN PEACE.
