I had the perfect pair of jeans. They looekd good with everything, fit pefectly, and were so comfortable I could sleep in them. Even better-- they were Ernest Sewn, orignally priced at 180$, and I bought them for 45$. I wore them for almost three years straight (I mean, ok, I washed them occasionally), and was thrilled to own a pair of jeans that were so soft and flattering. I owned like one other pair of jeans (literally) because these were all I needed. BUT. (This is where it becomes a horror story-- where you notice the zombie in the background of the happy lovers.) Jeans that soft weren't meant to last very long, I guess, and last year I started noticing little holes all over. First the jeans split at the knee, so people started making the trademark "I bet you paid for those to look all ripped like that" comment. Then, a small but persistent hole formed on the butt. I didn't care-- I started wearing blue underwear as a decoy(you could still totally tell it was underwear though). And finally, tragically, I bent over in the jeans, which produced maybe the most indecent rip ever seen on a pair of pants. There was no saving them.I sort of don't know how to move on....
