I recently had a major issue in my life. The crotch on my APCs blew out. It happened on Super Bowl Sunday and I have been wearing them since. Slowly but surely the hole in my crotch grew to a size that was just indecent to be seen in public with.
I decided to take them to the tailor and get them fixed two days ago. I will post pictures soon of the repair. Mind you I didn't go to Denim Doctor. I kind of wanted the patch to be noticed. It gives the jeans a sense of character I guess?
I have worn these jeans for a year without washing them. They are the only pair of jeans I wore and I wont give up on them.
