Saying goodbye is always hard. This time I had to say goodbye to an ‘old friend’. This old jeans of mine and I have gone way back. We were perfect for each other, we were together almost every day. It was like a match made in heaven. (We all know how hard it is to find the perfect pair of jeans.)

Then I started noticed a rip, but I didn’t care. The rip was ‘expected’, you see, it was a ‘controlled’, pre-destressed from the manufacturer kinda rip. So it was fine. Totally gave this pair a bit of character.

Then the rip got larger, then they were more and they were everywhere through the usual tear&wear along the years. Cut the story short, the long pants became a ripped bermuda, and we were still cruising along together through many summers. Oh, they happy days.

This year’s spring clean forced me to have a close look on all my clothes, and I noticed more rips and tears on my favourite pair than I could care to admit. The time has come to say goodbye to this old friend. I’m gonna miss ya old pants…
