Even when I was younger and fairly trim and slim, I never wore the jeans that were faded. They never looked dressy no matter how much some tried. I remember my cousin bought a pear of high dollar jeans. She and her brother took them out to a tree with a shotgun. They had to wait a couple days because when the gun went off, they disturbed a hornet's nest right above and they ran leaving the gun and the jeans behind. When they went back the gun was missing. Uncle was not a happy camper and even more upset that those $30.00 jeans had holes in them. She was suppose to get 2 pair without holes. That was her last pair til she got a job after high school.
