I wear jeans until they fall apart. Towards the end they get holes in the knees before I toss them out. I don't buy pre-distressed jeans. That's just silly.
@LearningToLetGo Thanks for your comment. (Apparently there is quite some skill in getting the rip done just right.)
@LearningToLetGo PS: Thanks for your poll vote also. (I wonder if some ppl will change their minds over the course of time...especially if family and friends increasingly wear them...)
Correct. And it seems silliness is now the norm, not just in jeans but in everything.

It can't be both. If it is "ripped" then your muscularity must be amazing. And those who are muscular simply brush off stress since they are the predators.

The waitress at the restaurant my wife and I ate at last week wore a pair of jeans that was ripped from calf to crotch. If she hadn't been wearing a pair of lacy nylons underneath them, I would've called the police and paramedics to report the unfortunate victim of a vicious sexual assault.

Having spent most of the last two years in hospital with major spinal and abdominal surgery, my muscular has been cut up rather cut up pretty extensively, not to mention all the isolative accompanying emotional stress.It can't be both.

No I don’t choose to wear ripped jeans because in my mind I see them as damaged. However it’s fashion for the younger generations , a trend. So, I guess another question to ask is do people follow trends, and at some stage in our lifetimes we have……..
My ex use to be a carpet fitter, he had distressed jeans even before the trend came about as the knees on the jeans always went into holes. Rita

Jeans (whether ripped or not) are too uncomfortable for me because I don't like the harsh material, I much prefer loose slightly baggy jogging pant-type things. Here's a sensational vid of me in action on Plymouth UK seafront under my strategy gaming name 'PoorOldSpike', play it fullscreen for maximum dramatic effect..
@Rita Thank-you for your thoughtful comment. I guess this is exactly the sort of thing I had in mind when the thread and poll were started. In the end like you say it's a fashion trend (and not unlike ones with haircuts, jewelry, tattoos, etc.)
I must confess that initially I did not like the concept of ripped jeans.
But then like you say many of the younger generation do like it and practise it very widely.
What I would also say is that while it would not be my choice, yet if someone near and dear to me had a preference for it, then I guess in time I would become so accustomed to seeing it. As, if I had a daughter and she was accustomed to wearing strategically slashed designer jeans, then I for one would not simply deride her (in the manner of some comments made above) but would likely instead come to recognize it for what it essentially is: a trend in which she and huge numbers of other young ppl participate.
Thank-you, again...
