one more pair of ripped jeans

Sob.... Another pair of my jeans has been ripped & this has happened because of its excessive usage -- around 5 and a half years if I am not mistaken. Plcchh - Jeans dont last long these days :( My sadness is not because I dont like ripped jeans; as a matter of fact I love them. I now own 4 pairs of ripped jeans (2 due to wearing & 2 due to cutting with a knife) However, I didnt' want this jean to get ripped. And you cant wear such things to some places (read workplace)...where I am for the most time of the week. However, looking at the bright side I have a valid reason to go shopping & this time Il look for a rip-proof one... An interesting article :- How To Rip Your Jeans
