It's Only a Pair of Jeans

 

They're only JEANS! by xtined featuring acid wash shorts

 

He said, "I'm not paying for those. Look, they're already ripped. And they're only jeans for Chirssakes."

And I said, "Do you know what it takes to make a pair of jeans? Do you know how many seams are on those things? How many different sewing machines it needed? A triple needle, and double needle and a single and a chain stitch machine as well? There are rivet machines and a machine for the buttons on the fly as well as the buttonholes. There are four kinds of thread in the back pockets alone. Did you know that the distressing on the knees takes two gauges of sandpaper? Can you see that these have been through not two, but three temperature controlled washes already? Yes, there's sand in the pockets. Do you see how fine it is? That's from the washing and the grade of sand is very specific to the way this denim looks. The wrinkles on the crotch are made by hand, with hands, by people, and they're made to look like you've worn these for years. They can't be too even, or they'll look fake, and they can't look uneven, or they won't look enough like the pair of jeans they're hanging next to. Do you see the color? How all the jeans in this style are the same shade? Do you know how hard that is to achieve thousands of times in a row when you can only fit seventy pairs of pants in the washer? The fact that these are even here, in this store, on time, with those seven hangtags is a feat achieved by hundreds of people, from the design team, to the production team who makes sure the crates get onto the boat, to the dozens of technicians responsible for outlining all the details, to the folks on the floor, ripping those knees in the exact RIGHT WAY so that rip your complaining about looks the same on each pair."

So stop complaining.

But them, or don't. But if you do, keep them a long time. They're worth it, and so are you.
