“There’s a sucker born every minute.” The con man’s mantra. Often attributed to P.T. Barnum, but never verified.
Personally, I don’t like this distressed -look fashion trend. Wearing out your own well-made new clothes is a very green thing to do. This instead of tossing away stuff all the time. How long do those torn up jeans last? We used to fade our new jeans with a little bleach when we bought them. But real blue jeans were meant for work and were so stiff when new you could stand them up in a corner. Even with constant wear they would last a decade, But I don’t get the appeal of pre-ripped clothes. What’s the statement?
