It’s funny how we get about jeans. Compared to almost any other clothes we tend to value them more the older and more worn they get. I mean, how many other clothes do people buy that actually come from the store already faded, softened by tumbling with rocks, even partially digested with acids!?!?
I dunno. I adore my jeans — they’re versatile, comfortable, attractive, heavy duty, and unlike almost any other clothing except maybe painter’s pants, you’re not expected to immediately change out of them when they get a little dirty from gardening, housecleaning, hiking, or doing art.
Have I mentioned I think that jeans combined with a plain white t-shirt can be severely sexy whether you’re wearing racey lacies, whitey-tighties, or nothing at all under them?
All good things come to an end though. It took all day for me to realize the impossibly worn fabric just below my back pocket had finally worn through. Which means if you’d stood behind me at the supermarket checkout, or the coffee shop, or as I browsed the shelves at the local library, or stood in the kitchen fixing coffee, breakfast, school lunches, my lunch, and afternoon coffee you’d have seen… well…
Not enough to get me in trouble, but enough to maybe spark your imagination. Maybe enough that you’d flirt with the idea of finding out if I was ticklish.
Sigh. All good things come to an end. I’m going to miss these jeans.
Happy HNT (or Half-nekkid Thursday!)

I don't know dude, in those jeans I think you'd look OVERdressed in nearly any gay bar in the USA. It's all about context. :)
HAPPY HNT!
[Good point, Polt. And me not hanging out in bars at all! Happy HNT to you too. --fl]

Aw poor figleaf!!! Your bum is so adorable though. I'd like to see what's under those old jeans.
I can make them into a pillow for you if you REALLY want to keep them. Or a purse. :P
HHNT!
[Thanks for your kind words, Masquerade, and for your kind offer as well. Happy HNT, and happy birthday too! --fl]

Sigh. So will I.
So will your fellow shoppers,
your barrista,
your librarian.
Even the knobs on your kitchen cabinets have been known to ogle.
Ah, I suppose we'll have to wait until next week to get another glimpse of Max Glutteous?
Happy HNT, figleaf!
Recaptcha = shape laced (yep!)
[Thank you, Kochanie! If I'd planned things a little better I'd have combined knobs with ripped jeans. Maybe next time. :-) --fl]

I keep trying and trying to leave you a comment.... The forces in the universe do not want us leaving each other comments, lol.
I'm all about ripped jeans...they are yummy!!!!!
[Yikes! I'll have to dig into the logs and see if I can figure out what's happening, Vixen. Sorry about that. Happy HNT, by the way. --fl]

Oh heck. Dont get rid of em. I say keep em around & wear em for further tickling purposes ; ) And Happy HNT to ya!!! ; )
[Well there's always *that* possibility. Actually I hang on to a lot of my old jeans hoping that someday it'll be cool to patch and embroider them like we used to back in the 70s. :-) Thanks, 1S2M, and happy HNT. --fl]

I don't think you should part with them... I have two pairs that I keep for lounging about the house, and yard work (hubby loves that! lol) Keeps the mystery alive... And they are so comfortable too, right? ;)
Happy HNT
[Very comfortable. Again, darn it. Thanks, Rose, and happy HNT to you too. --fl]

I wouldn't touch you. But if you suddenly turned around I think we'd both be very embarrassed.
Awesome HNT.
[And of course it's not appropriate to actually *touch...* but fine to blush when busting, or being busted by, someone who was thinking about it. :-) Thanks, Holly. Happy HNT to you too. --fl]

It's usually my wife who decides my clothes, shirts etc, have become too threadbare to wear in public. Then they just disappear from the wardrobe. But even I might have noticed the cold draft round my nether regions with a rip like that. Happy HNT.
[I actually noticed but didn't think the gap was so prominent until way late in the day. Happy HNT, LR. --fl]

I vote for keeping the jeans a little longer. Your partner is sure to enjoy the view! Especially if she enjoys denim and skin as much as I do.
HHNT!
[Aww, thank you Bunny. Happy HNT to you too. --fl]

You know i used to have a pair of Levi's that tore out at that same spot and at both knees. I wore them for quite a while that way;-)
Thanks for stopping by my HNT and leaving a comment.
I'm glad you did because I really like your writing.
[I enjoyed finding your blog too, Turnbaby, and it's cool to have found so many new people in your circle of commenters and friends. Happy HNT to you too. --fl]

Keep the jeans. Maybe rips in that spot will come back into fashion (I know the ripped knees are coming back--I see lots of my students sporting that look this semester), and even if not, we all enjoy it and your partner is bound to as well.
[It wouldn't be so bad if people could just see my undies, ks. The problem is I don't wear undies! :-) Thanks. --fl]

(Apropos your last comment - Underwear is for the insecure.)
Turn them into hotpants, say I.
[In other words double-down and dare them, eh? Nice idea, Luka. Thanks. Happy HNT. --fl]

Well, there's a first. Someone who would actually LIKE the way I normally dress. White (or pink) babydoll tees, levis, and no undies. Or a thong. And here I thought I was boring.
I personally think you should keep those jeans...
[Well, the votes in favor of keeping them are getting pretty overwhelming so... And yes, actually do like the way you usually dress. It's not for everybody, I guess, but I really can't think of anything else that combines everyday/anywhere practicality with understated, but not underappreciated sexiness. Happy HNT, Biscuit. --fl]

You could always turn them into E X T R E M L Y short shorts and proudly display your assets.

I confess, I've worn the same pair of jeans for the past 5 days without washing them. They're bound to have a similar hole to yours in no time.
Thanks for the warm welcome comment and Happy HNT!
[Oh yeah, I've worn jeans that long. Not recently though. (And, back when I was a grease-monkey/day-laborer, I was known to wear them quite a bit longer. They do hold up, don't they?) Thanks, Sarah. Happy HNT to you too. --fl]

I think those jeans look great on you. Very sexy. If I were standing behind you in a line, I'd either stand way back for a better look, or very, very close...
