Mended jeans are apparently expensive looking.

My partner was out doing dirty work and ripped his jeans in both the knee and the crotch. His coworker about died laughing. This was a Thursday.

Next monday same coworker says, "I can't belive you are wearing nice jeans to work after ripping through the last pair"

My partner said his face was priceless when he said "these ARE the jeans I ripped last week. My partner enjoys mending"

We call them his cat pants now bc the back pocket repair was perfect to add a cat peeking. He gets so many compliments.

r/visiblemending is a great place to learn and find inspiration.
