The Comeback of Denim
April 21st, 2005 -- Posted in Uncategorized | 2 Comments »I remember back in middle school when I got a pair of Silver Tab Levi’s which, at the time, cost upwards around $50. Boy did those jeans feel good. They felt good not only because of the “loose” style that I got but because the little insignia on the back said “Silver Tab.” I remember having a similar experience with some $70 Girbaud jeans on a freak day when my mom felt like spoiling me. Did my dad and brother freak out? Yeah. This is the luck of being the mak-neh (youngest child) of the family.
Since then, I’ve grown to be more mature (well.. just a bit). And now, if anything, I take more appreciation in a good sale than in expensive clothing. My favorite pants du jour are actually some button-fly cords I found on the sale rack at BR for $20 some-odd dollars.
Oh yeah, so where was I? Oh yes. The comeback of denim. Unless you’ve been living in a shell for the past several years, you’ve probably noticed the comeback of denim. I have nothing original to say here nor am I qualified to speak about the topic. But I was reading this article on NYTimes.com and found a very amusing excerpt:
“Some other obvious questions follow. What exactly are premium jeans? And why are they different from the millions of ordinary pairs sold all the time? How much of the premium denim phenomenon is hype and how much real value is there in obscure attributes like ring-spun denim, triple-needle stitching, bleach “whiskers,” or special treatments that abrade, distress and generally torture a pair of trousers until it has achieved just the right luxuriantly ratty patina of something that has been dragged behind a truck?”
