For the last two decades (and perhaps longer) I would never, ever wear Jeans with rips, holes or worn patches outside the house (I would also never, ever wear tacksuit pants outside the house). However, since DS2 came along, I find that at least once a week a wear a pair of jeans with a rip in the knee. I feel extremely uncomfortable about it. I think it is so tatty and uncouth. But they are just so bloody comfortable and bloody Jag (they are Espys) have discontinued that style (don’t worry, I have been constantly and bitterly complaining about it to my local retailer) so I can’t just go and buy another pair. I would fix them with a patch but then I’d have to get the sewing machine out (you know, to do a really good sturdy job of it) and well, I just CBFed.

Gah! If you see me, I really am lovely, I really don’t like wearing tatty clothes, it’s just where I’m at right now.

Anyone else do this / feel like this?
