We all have that perfect pair of jeans that fit us like a second skin. Those we have been wearing for years, those that have changed with us and we would never, ever want to part from because replacing them seems utterly impossible. Their creases and fades are the imprints of our habits, just like the wrinkles on our face: the “whiskers” on the front, the honeycomb patterns behind the knees, all those tiny tears and wears that we know by heart and would recognize among a thousand.
These hallmarks are the DNA of a pair of jeans and of the person who wears them – speaking of which, did you know that the FBI developed a technique to identify criminals by analyzing the unique wear patterns on their jeans and comparing them to photographs taken from crime scenes?
Yet however rough, sturdy and tough it may be, even the very best denim cloth will eventually wear out, and all we can do is take great care of our jeans to preserve them for as long as possible.
