Jeans

I'm not really a 'Jeans' person, but I have owned a couple of pairs that I loved, and still do love.

This picture below must have been taken when I was about 10 (I'm the one on the right; the other is my French friend Didier with our cat 'Tiddles').

The Jeans I'm wearing were just the nicest pair of trousers I've ever owned. They were loose fitting, comfortable, and I considered them to be really cool. I loved them, and was almost overcome with apoplexy when they eventually became too small for me. 

Since those days I've not really worn Jeans. But back in about 2017 I bought TWO pairs from my local Leclerc supermarché, for the staggering price of 6.35 Euros each (that's about £5 each). I could hardly refuse!

I don't wear them too often, but I probably should. Like my first ever pair, they are loose-fitting, and comfortable. They are pukka 'Jeans colour', and have aged naturally. They may not be trendy skinny Jeans, or even bell-bottoms; they have an anonymous quality about them. They blend into the background. Amazingly they have no rips in the knees, or elsewhere. 

Here I am, just back from a walk with Billy; cane in hand, and wearing my trusty Jeans. I do look a bit like a labourer.

They may not be trendy, or expensive, or even particularly attractive, but I do like them.

Jeans must be the most diverse of all items of clothing. They come in all shapes, sizes, colours, and states of repair. Some people spend their whole lives in them, others may have twenty pairs in their cupboards that they treat like Works of Art.

Do you wear Jeans?
