Now I'm sure some of you will recognise the image on this page but if you don't this is what denim should look like .....Let's not arse about with the "new" styles such as G-Star or other such abominations , for a classic denim it only has one answer LEVI'S 501 ...simple .
Now it comes down to what you want from a Jean , well for me it's an all round item of clothing that i can dress up (like the gentleman here with a classic shoe/boot) or dress down (with an Engineer Boot) .
Now we get on to the "complications" of style , this is soooooo easy ...Buy them dark and LIVE IN THEM to achieve a distressed look because frankly if you buy them distressed the be off with you , you don't belong here , if you buy distressed jeans you are giving the impression of having lived a life when in fact you are a mollycoddled (?) phoney like the idiots who believe that a t-shirt qouting the legend "vintage 62" actually is vintage NO IT'S BLOODY NOT YOU PLANK .
I'd go as far to say that when the day comes that the jeans have "died" and given up the ghost completely an approxomation of a viking longboat should be built with the jeans placed in them and set adrift in a glorious funeral pyre of memories and experiences . For example , I have a pair for 501XX that i have had for near on 17 years and in those 17 years they have been with me for the birth of 2 children , a divorce , a stag night (when they got covered in beer , kebab sauce and piss) and various "trysts" .....thats how important a favourite pair of jeans is
