ridiculousAuthor: Dave Date: 09.04.23 - 4:53am Ok, I am ridiculous. I will accept it. I had a 10yr old pair of shorts that started to rip in the ass end. I kept wearing them until they finally got a little to big. They are just wranglers, probably $12 new. I am trying to evaluate if I am chronically cheap, lazy, frugal, or moral. I can confirm however I am not vain lol. Soooo...I un-stitched the side pocket and used it for a patch. First I used some fabric glue to secure it where I wanted it. Then a quick and unskilled round with the sewing machine, and finally dabbed the frayed threads with some hot glue. Voila! 
Cheap maybe, labor lazy - obviously not, shopping lazy - definitely so, frugal - check, moral? - as far as it applies check, vain of appearance - nope, vain of skills? - no its a crappy fix, amused? - yesssss. The amusement aspect is probably the key. It kinda tickles me for some reason. And yes I will literally wear these out and about with total disregard for fashion. (And honestly I bet no one will ever notice) You should have seen me when I used to be a mechanic. Walking around with giant grease stains on my jeans both thighs black with torn out knees. Update: so like a week later it ripped on the other side in exactly the same way. Now I am proudly missing both side pockets. The design flaw was, the rear internal pockets create a cinch spot in the pocket slits corner. Stress riser to tear. Comments: (1)On 10.22.23 - 10:51am Dave wrote:
