The Best Jeans are Old Jeans

West Virginia

Minolta Instant Pro with close up lens. The Impossible Project PX 600 Silver Shade, UV+, black frame. Flash fired.

Submitted for the challenge entry, "Something you know you should throw out or give away."

These jeans are full of barbed wire holes and frayed and worn and patched. I don't know that I'll ever throw them away though. They don't seem to ever wear out completely.

Other worlds can be seen here.

All of my old Levi's are full of holes now.

I have two pair like that. I refuse to get rid of them as well. :) They fit in all the right places.

Looks like Levi's and the older, the better. Don't you wish you could have invested in the denim market 50 years ago.?

Nice shot of a vital article of clothing, old jeans.
I actually feel a sense of loss if I do throw any out.

Why throw out perfectly good broken-in jeans. They look just right to me. (

Love how your choice of B&W accentuates the worned texture. Wonderfully done! V

They look like they are just starting to get broken in... great shot that emphasizes the pattern in the stitching and the softness of good denim. V+
Janet Donnelly17-Nov-2011 21:59
Just looking at the texture of soft, worn denim is comforting. My favorite material. Karen, whatever you do, don't toss these out!!!!!!

I think we must all have clothing like that, I know I do, and we can't bear to give them up because they are so comfy! Great shot, Karen. V
