          The pictured pair leave me, today, shuddering with disgust however, at one time, I really really loved them  😃

            I'd like to see a larger image so I could truly experience the gross-ness…..

                @Giles,

                Sadly I cant provide a larger picture, the one shown is from google. Happily the jeans were sold on ebay a long time ago along with many more pairs that would qualify for crimes against denim.

                Damn, I missed the white patchwork shirt which would have been a show stopper when paired with the EO patchwork jeans.

                OMG the denim / jeans / clothes I have worn in the past  :o . . . . thank god they never made it onto photobucket otherwise they'd be holding me to ransom !

                  We've all been there mate  😃 (Although right now I can't think of a fashion crime worse than those "jeans")  😛

                    Although now I think about it, it does occur to me that in my late teens I wore an awful lot of paisley shirting made out of viscose. While that is a fashion crime enough in itself, I also bought the 173-BLK about a month ago. I absolutely love it. So some things don't change  ::)

                      I can't compete with den1mhead, but I do remember a particularly traumatic incident.

                      I had a pair of white denim jeans when I was about 15, they were very tight, can't remember what brand (but probably just high street).

                      One Saturday night I was going out, the jeans had been washed and were not properly dry.  I had to wear them (of course I had nothing else I could possibly wear that evening).  They were very damp and tighter than ever, I did the trick that every female worth her salt knows - lie on the floor with a coathanger, put the coathanger hook through the metal zip pull and drag it closed.  I finally got the zip up over my belly and then… PING!  The zip exploded.

                      My Dad thought it was the funniest thing he'd seen in ages (I was lying on the floor in the middle of the sitting room whilst he was watching TV) which added insult to injury.  He didn't understand that I had NOTHING else I could wear, my evening was ruined, in fact MY WHOLE LIFE WAS RUINED  😢 😢 😢

                      Needless to say, after teenage tantrum and tears, I managed to find an alternative outfit and went out as planned.

                          . . . and males too. I used this method in the 80's when trying to get on my skin tight jeans to wear with my Dr Martins, Fred Perry & Harrington jacket [emoji4]

                            I can also relate @Madame Buttonfly , no coat hanger but I did some severe rolling around on the floor to get back into the UHR Namo Tako's on Saturday morning  😢

                              I just dug out a pair of Indigogene's that I had lost/forgot about, and I'll be doing the same… Mist them with water, struggle to get in them, and HOPE they stretch to my liking

                              IHSH-186, large (khaki, and green)

                                That sounds like a Denim Adventure.
                                Pics or it does count! Do it the Namo Tako style please  :D.

                                Thanks for this great contribution @Madame Buttonfly  😉
