447. "Torn And Frayed"

In what started as a simple inquiry on twitter the other day sparked an idea of sorts. This isn't the first time I documented the journey of these particular pair of jeans before.


I honestly thought with the original post over two years ago, shortly after purchasing the second pair that the first pair (originally purchased in September, 2008) would somehow fall out of the spotlight and my rotation of everyday trousers in place of the newer pair. Not only was this not the case but after nearly four years of consistent wear, the scars of day to day life in New York City was taking it's toll on the 1966 Super Slim and becoming painfully obvious.








The tear at the left knee began as a tiny slit, whilst styling a shoot last summer and suddenly within months had me looking like a long, lost member of the Ramones (all I was missing was the Schott Perfecto leather jacket.....oh, and the long hair).
