Sturdy Jeans

If you keep your clothes as long as I do - and that is for a generation in the case of these jeans - you learn something about clothing sold by supermarkets. This old pair of jeans is made from quite stout denim in comparison to the thin stuff now offered. Additionally, in the old days not only was the cloth of better quality, you got quite a bit more of it. You could live and let rooms in this pair, which suits me fine. You also discover that these days the manufacturers use shorter zips. I won’t offend sensibilities by developing this issue. I will simply state that there are limits and that they may have been exceeded.
