I patch my husbands jeans and my own if a hole develops. Our parents raised us not to look shabby in public.
My kids were raised the same and their kids dress like young men and ladies when going out. No dirty faces, hair combed, no wrinkly clothing and certainly no holey jeans.
My other pet peeve is the jeans on the racks that were made to look dirty and slept in for sale.
I for one don't need to see flabby/hairy backsides hanging out of torn jeans..........LOL
