    If all publicity is good publicity - this is good for Nordstrom because it's going viral FAST. It's almost as if they were making a joke about carrying the shredded jeans look one step further. This pair of "Shredded Boyfriend Jeans" is selling at another online company for $595. They have "deconstructed appeal."

    Chris, the "Yeezy season 3 sweater" on eBay is from Kanye West's "fashion" line - not fashion IMO, but goes for big bucks due to the name attached. Similarly, Rihanna's Fenty Puma is mostly incomprehensible to me.

    Linda--too bad you didn't sell your jeans instead of washing them. You could have reimbursed yourself for the new pergola... :USING:

    And... your farmer's jacket is amazing! And please keep us posted on the indigo crop this year. I read a bunch a few months ago about efforts to establish sericulture (silkworm farms) in New England in the 19th century--fascinating...

    I'm confused. Is it real mud, that will wash out? Or is it a fake perma-mud finish?

    Either way it's nuts.

    Fake mud. It makes my husband mad who comes home from work with mush and beat up pants. He says it pretetious

    Pretentious is the word. I am totally out of fashion when it comes to jeans. I don't want them washed-out or ripped. Indigo please - the darker, the better.
