Just fixed my pair of jeans, again.
Got them in 2008 on a trip to Melbourne. The whole process in purchasing them were an adventure in itself. Walking to Fitzroy, which felt like a totally different side to Melbourne, finding All Of The Above which was a really cool store. So long ago.
I think this pair has fixes all over the place. I have a big hole in the left back pocket, a crotch rip which I so dodgy-ly got repaired in SS14, the store next to the Nasi Lemak Fried Chicken/ Wan Tan Mee joint I frequent when I'm back, few holes at the back which I stitched up, and now I guess because the rivet broke, cause I was too fat, this had to happen eventually. I kinda feel proud of my fix though, nice black and blue.
I wouldn't say this is the coolest pair of jeans, cause it isn't. And it's not like it has the best fit or the best fades or whatever. But this is my pair of jeans. And it's part of my story.
But I think it's probably time I get a new pair.
