How many pairs of jeans do you own? Three or maybe four or maybe more? Jeans has got to be one of the most popular apparel to be ever invented for humankind to cover their bits.
I currently have only 1 “active” pair of jeans that I use. I’m pretty sure that it is almost if not more than 10 years old and I’m still using it. It is a compliment to both my mom’s expert skills of washing it (not that it gets washed too often) and also the fact that at this age, I can still fit into it.
The jeans that I have right now was a line created by Levi’s that was somewhat of a sensation back in the late 90’s. The material used was different from the normal jeans one would see but most uniquely, the seams along the side of the jeans did not go straight down from the hips down to the heel.
The Levi’s Engineered jeans that I’m wearing has it seems run across and around the leg about halfway through rather than the normal straight down design. It was a big deal back then and I had to save up quite a lot together with “subsidies” from my parents in order for me to grab a hold of it.
I’ve brought that same pair of jeans almost everywhere I’ve been. It’s been to all over of Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand and Indonesia. The amount of times it has been washed, maybe once or twice each year and that plus all the traveling gives the “worn out” look that people literally pay for when they buy a new pair of jeans.
I was doing some research for this post when I stumbled upon the news that Levi’s is coming out with a special 10th anniversary engineered jeans design. Unlike its predecessors, this time around they’ve gone back to the original design of the “twisted-leg” for its seams.
If I see it in the malls, I’ll definitely plump out the cash and get me one. That would bring my collection of wearable or “active” jeans to an amazing two. So, how many pairs of jeans do you own ya?
And please, be truthful guys ;)
Cheers!!! :D

about err... 20?
the best ones of the lot are:
1. a levi's 501 bought on jalan TAR in the early 90s when they were still american made. faded as hell, and i can kinda fit in it still (i look like an 80s metalhead as it is so ketat). hahaha.
2. a calvin klein 80s reissue that i bought 5-6 years ago - i couldn't afford them in the 80s, only my rich schoolmates do.
3. a 1947 reissue vintage levi's 501 with the big E. selvage denim and have only been washed once.

Hi... browsing through Pokku Post and saw yours which somehow catches my eyes.
Menyibuk sekejap. I just had one pair. Never a jeans person. I am a skirt person but at least a pair of jeans is a must in anyone's wardrobe, isn't it
